Chartering with John was a great experience. The boat is perfect for a group of 5 for a fun summer weekend experience. Also, John is an amazing captain. He also has a great process for keeping the boat clean and safe for everyone while booking during COVID. Highly recommend booking!

I would give John and his boat 10 stars if I could! His boat was so clean and nice. Perfect size for 6 people and they brought up floats to use. We had the best day and couldn’t recommend him more
