This was the best day EVER!! Such an amazing way to celebrate my birthday with all my best friends!!!

Our group had a great time with Mark’s boat; our captain Eduard was fantastic too! Easy to find the meeting point, plenty of time in the water, and just a great day! The lily pad was a nice addition as well. Would definitely recommend for a smaller group looking to be on the lake.
