Yooper Yachts was absolutely amazing! We were a group of 11 people and wanted to experience our tour without a ton of strangers. It was so special Kayaking in single kayaks along Pictured Rocks. Definitely one of our most memorable vacations. They give discounts to bigger groups and customized private tours are even lower than the run of the mill outfitters. We did our research because it’s a good amount of money we spent so we looked for the best reviews and deals. Call them personally and you’ll be treated exceptional plus you’ll get a better rate than any of the cookie cutter competitors that put you within a group of 30-40 tandems. We love that they offer single kayaks no one else does plus the customer service you’ll receive is above anyone else. They are old school booking and clear the weather before taking anyone’s money that alone made us want to book with them. A person in our group booked a tour two years ago with a bigger outfitter needless to say it was canceled due to weather but this business kept 5% of his money. How crazy to make your customers pay because the weather was bad!! Do not go to any of the other 3 pictured rocks kayak companies. Take all my homework and book with YOOPER YACHTS you’ll thank me for this review. Thanks again Rick for sending my group their pics of our tour. Bob you were amazing providing waters and towels to us too. 

OUTSTANDING SERVICE!! Luckily I checked out the 4 outfitters and decided to go with Yooper Yachts for 3 reasons. 1- they have SINGLE kayaks also. 2- Chose the best weather day for our tour/ if you are available multiple days. 3- No payment until the weather was cleared. In the end we realized how lucky we were when we seen the HUGE groups of tandem kayaks 20-30 people from other companies waiting while others caught up to them. That’s what we were afraid of being experienced kayakers getting in groups with inexperienced kayakers How do those big groups kayak at the same pace? Well they don’t they wait till everyone is together before moving on. We got to see more of the rocks and never were stalled and our group size was 8 people very manageable plus YY had 2 guides with us so they could spilt up between faster or slower paced kayakers. It was a awesome experience and we already booked for next season doing their Chapel Rock paddle!!! 

Our experience with Yooper Yachts was terrific and definitely will spread the word at my job which is in the travel industry. This family owned business treats you like family! Helped my husband with vehicle problems even before we booked a tour with them. Rick and Bob are definitely the guides you want when kayaking Lake Superior they made us feel comfortable and safe. Definitely go with this tour company they are not some cookie cutter version that’s in it for just the money that’s why they are the only ones that do offer single kayaks not just tandems. Planning on doing another tour with more family for my Dads 60th birthday can’t wait!!

Definitely hands down the best service I have ever received. Book my tour 2 months in advance and was told they’d call me when it got closer and update the weather. They picked the best weather for our tour out of the 3 days we were in Munising. Paid the day before my tour a d had the choice of tandems or single kayaks. We picked a mix. We had the best time kayaking with Bob and Rick they were knowledgeable, safe and the kind of people you want to party with. These people took the effort and time making the tour spectacular!! Pictured Rocks National lakeshore is gorgeous!!! No comparison in a kayak. Going through sea caves and the lovers leap was a lifetime memory . Took pics of us and we got them the next day This is a small business and have a more private experience without 30 strangers. We passed the other outfitters with 30 to 40 in a group and felt blessed we picked Yooper Yachts. If you want nature and beauty without the tourist trap feel these guys are doing it right.  

KAYAK PICTURED ROCKS WITH YOOPER YACHTS!! These guys got this tour business RIGHT! They are not the cookie cutter version that is the other businesses in the area We realized how lucky we were when our small group of 4 single kayaks passed 30-40 tourists being rushed on the way back from their tour Also YOOPER YACHTS has SINGLE or tandem kayaks which we really appreciated. Rick was our guide and he was informative about the rocks and knew his stuff These guides live here and were born here so you cant get better than that a true Yooper! We ended up having the most incredible tour and Rick let us go at our own pace and also we went farther than what we paid for. After we finished we had trouble with our vehicle not starting ugh but no worries we were in good hands with Rick he fixed our problem with our car! Kayak Pictured Rocks you will not be disappointed but make sure you book with this business  

Our Kayak tour was the Lovers Arch Paddle and it was a bucket list experience. This small family ran business is truly the best guided kayak tour company in Munising. I researched all other businesses and what stood out was Single kayaks and less of a tourist trap. Well not only was that true but we were amazed at the hospitality these folks treated us with during our vacation. We were in the area for a few days so they were in constant contact with picking the best weather for our group. Granted we havent even paid yet and they went above and beyond. After picking our weather opening it rained a little that morning so they adjusted our time too so it missed us!!! I knew it was pricey and all other companies are around the same amount but after our tour we tipped Rick our guide even lol My friends were so happy we went with YY cuz on our way back we seen the other companies and their huge groups of tandems with 30-40 people. We loved that we could have single or tandem kayaks and that our booking was reserved without payment until the actual tour date. Also we were not rushed and with smaller groups sizes it was Nature that stood out not 30-40 strangers all kayaking a different pace. All in all kayaking pictured rocks is a MUST but use my review and all the others and pick YY. I work at a major outdoor sports chain and will be telling all my family /friends about YY.
