We reserved the Ugly Anne for my brother's suprise 60th birthday party, and we had so much fun. As soon as we boarded, my brother got to decide where we should go, and he chose to go under the Mackinac Bridge. The crew had ice cold beer and wine available for purchase, and we brought along a few snacks. By... More

We had postponed our trip to Mackinac Island b/c of early morning showers and a cloudy day and decided to take the Straits Tour as recommended by people on Trip Advisor. Apparently the cloudy day kept others away which is a shame b/c the five of us (two of us and a mom with two younger kids) had a terrific... More

The Ugly Anne is so cool-- and different than anything else you can do in the Straits area. My friend and I went on the sunset cruise on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed the expertly handled boat and the historic information that the crew shared-- and the drinks that were available on board! It was all very relaxing and the... More

This was the best thing about the trip. It was so fun to have mom & dad (Pat & Bob) involved with this attraction. The owner Chris West did a wonderful job. We loved the ride and information! This was the best tour yet!

What a great experience. How cool to say you've taken a tour of the straits on a lobster boat. The water was a little rough but the boat and crew handled it perfectly...to the point you really couldn't tell the water was rough. Very enjoyable and I would recommend to everyone. The view under the bridge is great!

I highly recommend this company. We only had vouches for passes on the Sunset Cruise so we were worried if we had to call in a few days earlier. Everyone was so nice and easy to talk to. It was such a great experience and class act people all the way. I hope to come back next year with friends.... More

We enjoyed our sunset cruise so much. It was enjoyable from the moment we stepped up to the window to purchase our tickets to the moment we stepped of the boat at the end of our trip. It's a family business and they seem to take a lot of pride in what they are doing. The Ugly Anne was a... More

My husband and I along with some friends went on the 2:00 pm cruise and had a wonderful time with Captain Chris and crew! The cruise was perfect...from the informative videos shown, to listening to Captain Chris share historical and personal stories about the bridge and it's surrounding waters...and the amazing view of cars going overhead on the bridge was...
