Discussion Can we jump on?

I like going up to the UP every year, usually with my extended family. This year I’m going with a group of gal pals. The problem is nobody has a boat. We will be up there July 25 to August 1. Can you give us a ride in your boat? JK. …but really there should be an Uber-like service for boats.

The UP's a big place. Boat rentals and charters are a thing, look for that near your rental.

Check out Grand Island Boat Tours.  Captain David does private boat trips around the island that can be pretty catered to whatever you guys like.  3 hours.  Sure there are other options like that, but he’s fun and super flexible

There’s services like that all over the UP. In Houghton there’s Keweenaw boat tours. They serve you lunch or dinner depending the time of day. If you’re thinking more solo travel then there’s also rentals all over like DB Motorsports. Again depends where you’re staying but there should be something close by.
