Our captain, Bryan, was amazing! He was very personable, very respectful, very open and fun! He gave us a lot of information about the area and we thoroughly enjoyed his company!!

Ample parking in the lot to park big SUV, the captain was nice enough to wait for us and make it fun for all on board. The Emerald Bay and surrounding area views were beautiful. Kids took a dip in the nearby Baldwin beach, which is real shallow and not busy. Two hours went by quick.

We booked a sunset cruise and it was the best experience!! Never had a private boat just got our family and I don’t think we could go back. The tour was relaxing and informative. Captain Bryan is so funny and nice and made our experience so fun. We even got to see a swimming bear in the lake!!

Our family enjoyed the boat ride. Captain Bryan was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip fun. The boat was comfortable and well maintained with the good enough room for 12 guests. I highly recommend this private boat tour!

Beautiful! Bryan was a fantastic captain. 2 hours goes fast so get there early to make sure you can park and find the boat. Highly recommend the private tour so you can be your own guide.

What a perfect boat and captain for really any group. Captain Brian was amazing, helpful, flexible and understanding of me having a toddler and I can’t say thankyou enough. He even offered pics, and played music. We really had an incredible tour with him. Boat was clean and amazing and accommodating, I’d book again forsure!
