John was flexible, accommodating, professional, and just generally awesome. We used his boat for a "dadchelor" party for a friend of ours having his first kid. We went out during the air show. The weather was iffy and John stayed in constant contact to make sure we felt comfortable going out. The boat was great, too.
Fantastic experience overall.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Coordinating and communicating with John was super easy. John’s boat is immaculate and he made every effort to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying ourselves. The large water pad and inflatable float he set up were absolutely perfect for lounging in the water. My only wish is that we could have spent more time out on the lake. Thank you, John!

John and Allie were great hosts that were super responsive - made planning an absolute cinch. The boat was beautiful and spotless. John and Allie were happy putting together a route that included both the city tour and the Play Pen. Our group had a blast and would absolutely recommend them.

We had such a wonderful day out on John’s boat. The boat was spotless and the perfect size for the 6 of us that went out to the Playpen. We had so much fun and can’t wait to go out again. Thank you, John!

My family and I had the best time with Captain John and Ali. Their boat was beautiful and they were so hospitable, ensuring we had a great time in the water. We highly recommend them for any adventure you are looking for out on the lake.
