My husband and I really enjoyed our sunset tour! Dominic shared the history of the area, and answered questions, which we appreciated. It got quite breezy, but felt much warmer as Dominic put down the clear panels...very comfortable ride. Will look forward to the color tour in the fall!

Mark S

Highly recommend Copper Country Boat Tours and Captain Dominic! My wife and I took a sunset cruise and were not disappointed!

The boat was very comfortable, quiet and spacious. Captain Dominic is very knowledgeable about the area and shares it with his guests in a fun, interesting way. We saw quite a bit of wildlife as well including bald eagles.

If you are in the Houghton area, definitely plan on taking a tour cruise with Copper Country Boat Tours!
