A large waterfront patio along the Kalamazoo River that's perfect for casual outdoor drinks, lunch, dinner or appetizers. We have two locations for our boat rentals. If you are renting a boat at our main Water Street location for Retro Boats, you may NOT bring your own alcohol. We are a bar and restaurant, so alcohol can be purchased at The Old Boat House/Retro Boats and we provide a cooler and ice at no charge.
There is also food that can be purchased, but you are welcome to bring your own food, just no outside coolers, it makes it awkward to search your cooler for alcohol. If you are renting one of our Pontoon boats or Duffy Boat located at our other dock on Union Street, you may bring your own alcohol, coolers, food, etc.

Retro Boat Rentals
Report
This fleet of meticulously maintained and rare classic fiberglass runabout boats from the jet-age era (1958-1963), have been made available for everyone to enjoy and take out on the beautiful waterways of Saugatuck/Douglas. With fanciful fins and headlights, retro cool colors and chrome details, they've kept their vintage style but retro-fitted them with electric motors.

Leave enough time for parking! We have a few designated parking spots in front of our business, but they fill up quickly. There is street parking all around our business, but again, the spots fill up. A great option is parking at Saugatuck High School and taking the free shuttle that leaves every 15 minutes on the weekend.
