We started it as a hobby, and now we are expanding. We love being on the water and want to provide a fun experience to everyone.
Great experience!
We had such an amazing time on this boat. We had 6 ppl and felt very comfortable on our excursion. Blue tooth speakers and an inflatable raft made for a fun day out on the lake. We had Max captain our boat, and he was very professional. Would definitely book this again!
Awesome time on Graciela’s boat this week. She also responds very quickly!
Graciela was quick to respond, we had a great time at the playpen. Would highly recommend!
Great experience all around. Quick communication with both the owner and captain. The boat was a perfect size and the float was perfect for the Playpen. Strongly recommend!
