The Cat's Meow is all that and then some! We couldn't have asked for a better evening on the "Cat's Meow." Captain John and Co-captain Barb were so friendly and accommodating the moment we stepped on board. Their great company and warm hospitality set this cruise apart from the others we have been on. The views Lake Michigan and South Haven have to offer are absolutely breathtaking, and the Sunset was divine. It was nice that Barb captured this memory with some great shots of us on her camera. We could not have scripted a more perfect way to end the magical Michigan Summer other than aboard the Cat's Meow. You don't need to go Hawaii to see amazing Sunset's when you have the Cat's Meow in your backyard!! Mahalo to Captains John and Barb.

We enjoyed the cruise from the moment we stepped on the boat until we stepped back off to land again, and also enjoyed getting to know you both. It really was an answer to prayer. Having already shifted the cruise one time due to bad weather, we didn't know what we would encounter on the day we rescheduled. But it turned out beautifully. I had prayed that the cruise could be a highlight of our vacation, that we could end our trip with a "grand finale" - and that's just what it was. Each one of us enjoyed it immensely. We hope we can do it again in the future.

Taking a cruise on Cat's Meow is the most luxurious and relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Captain John and his delightful Co-Captain, Barb, tend to your every need. Cruising through the channel and waiving to people on the other boats creates a party atmosphere. When you get out to the open lake with the clear skies and the bluest water you've ever seen, it feels like what you'd imagine heaven to be like. As you take in the full experience including the gentle waves and warm breezes, there is no denying that God created Lake Michigan and that He placed John and Barb there on Cat's Meow to help others enjoy its wonder!

Our family had a most enjoyable time sailing on the beautiful catamaran, Cat's Meow, with Captains John and Barb! The sail was very relaxing, memorable and fun. Captains John and Barb are very conscientious, safety-minded and skilled at sailing. The boat is absolutely beautiful and its spacious deck and seating area make for a comfortable sail. Thanks to the Brown's expertise in sailing, my family and I have learned a lot about sailing and enjoyed many times we have spent with them on the water over the years.

Thanks for the great cruise on the water at South Haven! You guys are the greatest to cruise with, and what a beautiful night! The way you got us out of the harbor, and then quickly caught the wind and raised the sails, man we were flying! The boat seems to be so stable; I never worried about falling off. Very classy cruise. The sunset was beautiful!!

We have sailed with the Browns practically every summer for over ten years and each year it is the highlight of our summer! They are the consummate hosts! They make sure each of their passengers feel welcome and comfortable. No matter the weather, every excursion we've taken with them has been memorable. The day is always relaxing, always interesting, and always filled with laughter. And, the Cat's Meow is one beautiful boat! It's very spacious and comfortable for many passengers. As captains, John and Barb are experts at navigating the waters. We always feel like we're in good hands when sailing with them. Plus, they are both truly delightful people to spend time with ... interesting, engaging, and really, really fun! We would highly recommend a sailing excursion with them.

Captain John and Captain Barb will quickly become your new friends on the water. After talking with them a few minutes, you will feel like you have known them forever. They are wonderful hosts who have a knack for putting their guests at ease. Cruising with them is relaxing and a whole lot of fun! Their boat is beautiful and surprisingly spacious. We love sailing along the Michigan coast without the noise of an engine. It is so peaceful and serene. Every year, we look forward to scheduling our next outing.

I always thought you had to go to the Caribbean to go on a Catamaran and here it was in my back yard all the time in South Haven. The service, ambiance and the ride were breath taking - words can not describe - I hope that everyone who takes the cruise has the same experience I did - words truly can not describe - I will definitely take another ride soon- thank you for the opportunity and the for a time that will never be forgotten. It truly is The Cat's Meow!

Thank you so much for the great cruise. It was truly an experience we will never forget. You made us all feel incredibly comfortable. The boat is beautiful and spacious enough that none of us felt crowded despite having so many on board. You couldn't sail with any other people as nice as John & Barb. They are excellent captains and even better hosts.

The Cat's Meow cruise was easily the best part of our South Haven trip. It was one of the most beautiful sites I have or ever will see, and Captain John and his deckhand Joe were the nicest people you could ever meet. I would definitely recommend going on this charter, and will also be a guaranteed returning customer. Thank you so much for some great memories Capt. John.

Thanks so much for the pictures! We had a wonderful time, just sorry our boys couldn't join us. Maybe that is reason enough to schedule another cruise next summer! Amy will be talking about it for years to come and I know Joe sure enjoyed manning the sail and the wheel. I enjoyed the peacefulness and relaxation of it all and your willingness to wait on me hand and foot. Thanks again.

The best day of our lives could not have been more perfect without Captains John and Barb Brown. Our wedding aboard the "Cat's Meow" was incredible and the experience of a life time! John and Barb made our wedding-day dreams come true! Their boat is beautiful and stable. Our wedding cruise on board "Cat's Meow" made our wishes obtainable and went far beyond our expectations. The day was breath-taking on board this lovely catamaran. Captain John also served as our Minister and made the entire ceremony personal and meaningful. We cannot thank them enough for making our time onboard stress free and every couples' dream for a perfect wedding!
