Fun on the Water with Larson LXH 190 OB – Seats 7!
Fantastic boat, fast, nimble and easy to control. Mario set everything up for us, including the tablet, everything was ready to go when we showed up. Highly recommend, and will happily work with Mario again!

Had a great time on the boat - communication was great / Captain Antoine took us to a couple private beach spots we were able to swim and relax- it was so chill and peaceful- totally worth it and will definitely do again when we come back to Laughlin!! Highly recommend!!

Getmyboat was so great and it was really easy to plan our boat trip. We were on our annual fam bam girls weekend and thought this would be a fun experience and IT WAS! Captain Shane was a great tour guide and made our trip so fun but also relaxing. He bbq’d lunch for us and was our also our photographer….he did it all and with a smile. You could tell he enjoys his job which made it a great experience. I highly recommend Getmyboat - definitely worth it!

Jennifer was awesome during the booking process. Very communicative and answered all the stuff. Captain Shane reached out right away and thru the process. Was early to the dock, and we had a blast. Very knowledgeable of the River and all her history. Was truly like going on a boat with your buddy. We will 100% book again next time. Thanks Shane, and thanks Jennifer.

We had a great day on the river with captain Shane. We loved the beach area we stopped at for lunch and a dip in the crystal clear river. Captain Shane was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It is on our agenda to do again next year when we are back!
