If you need to cancel, notice must be given at least 48 hours prior to departure; cancellations made within 48 hours will result in forfeiture of the deposit. In the event that the captain cancels a trip due to weather or safety concerns, your deposit will be fully refunded or applied to a rescheduled date.

Can we play our own music?

Yes! The boat has a Bluetooth sound system. You’re welcome to connect your own device and set the vibe.

Do you customize trips?

Yes. Fishing, tubing, wakeboarding, sandbar stops, sunset cruises — we can combine activities to match your group’s preferences.
