55' Yacht on Beautiful Lake Pontchartrain

We were in town for a work event and decided to charter a boat for a few hours to enjoy the lake—and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip! Captain Bradley was fantastic—professional, friendly, and made the whole experience seamless and fun. The weather was perfect: warm with a nice breeze, and the food on board was delicious. We cruised around the lake, relaxed, and had an amazing time. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we’ve already decided to make this our new annual work retreat tradition. I highly recommend Captain Bradley and his company—you won’t be disappointed!

If we could give Bradley 10 stars, we would. This guy was the BEST captain we could have asked for. He went above and beyond, truly. The boat and the vibes were amazing! Unless you’re lame, you will NOT regret booking with Papa. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my second time booking Captain Jim’s sailboat for a photoshoot and it was a great experience- as always! He’s so kind, provides a great and professional experience. He always has snacks and drinks for myself and my clients - along with other great accommodations! Will definitely be booking again!!!

Smooth sailing on a sunny afternoon; nothing but a balloon sail to cast you away along the beautiful Lake Pontchatrain coast way! Captain Jim provides a wonderful staycation that can’t be beat right here on the Northshore. His sailboat is a great way to go. Sailing on the lake at sunset in the moonlight is great for a fun relaxing afternoon.

Jim was an amazing captain, the weather was on our side, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to end our wedding night! He had snacks, water, chips, Gatorade, wine glasses, speakers, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, chairs for us to sit in ! It was an a amazing experience!

Captain Jim was terrific and we had a fantastic day on the lake. He was very thorough in explaining all of the safety requirements and we felt to be in good hands with him at the helm. We could not have had a better experience and will certainly be repeat customers. Many thanks to Captain Jim for making our excursion a memorable experience.
