★★★★★Emily NelsonA fabulous first-time sailing experience. The captain let me help hoist the main sail, and as luck would have it the weather was perfect. Booking the 7:30pm sail in early June meant we got to see the sunset.
★★★★★Elizabeth AndersonFantastic cruise on the Dragonfly with Captain Mike! And my husband was like a little kid in a candy store when he got to steer for much of the trip. Glorious day…we will be back!
★★★★★Jesse SaxbergWhat an experience!! I surprised my new wife with a sunset sailboat tour of lake Pepin the day after we got married and it was a great way to end our wedding weekend. Captain Derrick was super knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He even allowed us to steer the boat which I was not expecting and we both really enjoyed! The weather was absolutely beautiful and the views were breathtaking and serene, we even saw a couple bal eagles trying to catch dinner. We enjoyed some champagne and our dinner on the boat and watched the sun go down as we took in the surrounding beauty. Highly recommend doing a tour if you are in the area if you truly want to experience the beauty of the lake and area while enjoying great hospitality! Overall 10/10 experience!
★★★★★Judy LangeWe had the best time sailing with Captain Derrick on the 5:30 Sunset Cruise Tuesday night. He shared his sailing experience and taught us a few things about sailing his 31' monohull. We had calm winds and a beautiful sunset. Lake Pepin and the surrounding area is so beautiful! If you are looking for something very fun to do with your family or friends, plan a sailing trip with Sail Pepin. Captain Derrick was awesome!
★★★★★Lindsey FredricksonWe can't speak highly enough of the experience we had with Captain Mike on our sunset sail on Saturday night! He was knowledgeable, fun, respectful, laid back and overall a great individual with lots of welcomed stories. The ride was amazingly beautiful, relaxing and everything we'd hoped for for our Bachelorette party outing! We felt safe the whole time and Mike was a gentleman to help us on and off the boat. We look forward to our next outing with Sail Pepin and hopefully we'll see Captain Mike again. A breathtaking experience to say the least!
