25’ Luxury Yamaha Charter on Lake Grapevine TX
Captain Frank was an AWESOME Captain and Host! He made sure everyone in board was safe and comfortable. He had life jackets for everyone on board and he went out of his way to make sure the grandkids had a GREAT time tubing! He communicated with us ahead of our scheduled day, all the way up to the in person meeting! Highly recommend Captain Frank!

25’ Luxury Yamaha Charter on Lake Grapevine TX
Captain Frank gave us a great experience today. The boat was immaculate and lots of room to move around for 7 people. Captain Frank was very accommodating when it came to hooking up the tubes and wake boards. He said it was our day and he would help make our day awesome and he did.

24ft Sun Chaser Pontoon in Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie
Ray was great. Super nice guy and he was early bringing the boat and letting us know everything regarding safety and boat features. The app was confusing making it seem like we didn’t have a reservation after we had paid so that was frustrating. Overall, it was a great afternoon out for my birthday boat cruise with family and friends!
