Exactly the trip we were looking for…
6 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM) on August 15, 2025 • 9 adults
I scheduled Capt. Rick and Mate Amber for a Team Building trip for the employees of local handyman business. Trying to find a boat that accommodated 10 people was a challenge, but Capt. Rick accommodated the gang and off we went. During the boat ride / sightseeing trip, a few of my guys asked if there was a way that they could fish a little bit. Without hesitation Capt Rick said ‘I know a spot’ and West bound we went. A few miles later with a couple of line out, it was ‘fish on!’ with a beautiful king. Ten minutes later, there was a second. All in all we hooked up 5 times and put two keepers in the cooler, impressive for an adlib trolling session in the middle of a touring trip. We had a fantastic time, a ton of laughs with everyone on board and our compliments to Ambers hospitality and music selection. Thanks Capt Rick for the flexibility and keeping the customer first ! We will be making another reservation!

relaxing cruise up the river
3 Hour – Boating Adventure (PM) on April 29, 2026 • 2 adults
it wasnt what we expected, we had planned to do snorkling and swimming like we had discussed in prior days leading up with the captain, but his ladder to get in, broke the previous day, so it became a slow cruise up the river. Saw quite a few dolphins. Consider bring your own chairs, otherwise its coolers to set on or the front of boat.
friendly people, recommend if you want a relaxed cruise up the river.
