"I’ve been on and around boats since i was very young. To me, sailboats are about the journey - the sweat, the intensity, the billowing of the sails, the slap of the waves. Powerboats, like cars, are about the destination - you put up with the noise, stink of exhaust, the pollution; to get to a place, do a thing. This electric tender is a fine marriage of both. We sat on the deck, with cocktails and antipasto, enjoyed the breeze and waves, chatted and soaked in the quiet, watched sunset slipping down over Detroit’s skyscrapers and busy riverwalk, learned about the history of gritty, mighty Detroit. This is a boat lover’s boat, and the Captain and First Mate are top form. The best experience of our stay here. “
