I can say with 100% certainty - Stay away from Sea-Breeze Charters. The guys are great, the owner is an idiot. Has no concern over your safety.....and has absolutely ZERO back-up plan when the ice boat beaks down 5 miles out. Trust me. His Hail-Mary last resort plan is to call a guy, who had drank Moonshine all day, to help rescue us off the ice. We stood there for over 4 hours while the "owner" tried to come up with a plan. And yes, this just happened recently (yeah, like Saturday).
Again, great guides, piss poor owner. When we got back to the shore well after dark, about 9:30pm, There was worthless Bob standing on the beach.......only worried about getting "payment squared away". Payment ? Payment Bob ? You stuck us on Lake Erie, 4.5 miles out, with no back-up plan to get us out of there....called "moonshine Dougie" to get myself and family back to shore safely......made me have to get a hotel for the night.....and waste over 4 hours of my own time......and you want to talk about squaring up ?
My money went to get a drunk ice boat driver, who had a hard time standing up, and cussed at us the entire time. Great plan Bob. Great plan. The safety of my family wasn't very important to you, was it ? Why didn't you help rescue us off the ice ? Where were you when your guides needed help ?? Sitting at home....right Bob ? Your paid guides were wanting to get something in motion, and you wanted to wait. We stood in the cold for 4 hours waiting for you to make something happen.
Sorry for Venting. May I suggest another guide ?? I would trust "Moonshine Dougie" before I ever trusted the owner of Sea-Breeze. At least Drunk Dougie had a plan.
If Bob is that careless about someones safety on the ice (which is fairly dangerous), I am guessing he is less cautious when he is running an open water boat.
I paid the guy the full amount.....even thought I was hoping to work something out. So here we are Bob....here we are. I am so hoping you want to dispute these facts...Bob.
