My friends and I rented Captain Russell’s boat for a wedding weekend celebration and had the best time! The boat was beautiful, and Captain Brian made the whole experience super enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I would absolutely recommend everything about this experience. The boat was beautiful and very spacious. Captain Russell was wonderful to work with, very professional and a great communicator. Captain Brian was excellent at navigating wind and choppy water and was so much fun to have aboard with our group. Thank you again for a wonderful time!

This experience was the best. We wanted to have a chill, fun day with friends on the lake and thats exactly what we got. Captain Russell met us at the boat and explained everything. He was so accommodating and the day turned out fabulously.

We could not have asked for a better captain or boat. The pictures don't really do it justice -- it's much nicer and more luxurious feeling! What a great time. We'll be back several times!
