Classic Vintage Bowrider

Meet the Striped Tomato!  Up to 5 guests can lounge and enjoy some time on the water in this restored 1975 tri-hull runabout.  Price includes a captain to ensure your time on the water is spent having fun instead of worrying about the boat itself.  The Striped Tomato is always available on Longview or Blue Springs lake for no extra fee.  It can be taken to other lakes upon arrangement, although renter is responsible for any necessary permit fees. Your time spent is yours and could include any of the following: cruising listening to music, anchored and swimming in a cove, tubing, fishing, photography session on the water, magnet fishing, romantic date (at least as romantic as it can get with a captain!), or even a night time cruise watching stars or meteor showers. I appreciate your interest!  Please reach out to discuss what you are looking for.

Can I bring food/alcohol on the boat? YES!   Do you talk to us the whole time? You can have as much or as little interaction with me as desired.  All conversations will be heard by the captain, however I will not interject in your conversations and what happens on the boat, stays on the boat. Can you make fishing recommendations? Unfortunately I'm not a great fisherman, but will be happy to provide the boat and show you the fish finder. Can I bring my pet? Only service animals that meet the federal definition of a service animal are allowed. https://www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/ I want to stay out late after sunset, can we do that? Most likely if it's a weekend night, ABSOLUTELY!  I love being out on the water when it's dark! If you have any questions, we can answer those through GetMyBoat’s messaging platform before you pay.
