    FAQs

    Plan for gratuity, which isn’t included. If your group books 7 or more passengers, U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) rules require a Bareboat Charter and you must pay the captain separately in addition to your prepaid charter fee; an extra $100 per hour is due on arrival and paid directly to the captain.

    Arrive at the marina at least 30 minutes before your charter (longer on weekends and holidays), and plan to be at the boat 20 minutes before departure. If you arrive late, your time on the lake will be shortened.

    Yes. Bring your own food, snacks, and drinks. Water is provided, and a cooler or small refrigerator is on board.

    We did the tour with Captain Brandon and he was very nice and accommodating. We went around emerald bay and had a great time. My only complaint is that it felt too short. I felt like we didn’t get to swim as much as I would’ve liked because it was time to head back, but he mentioned we can ask about extending the time next time. I think 3 hrs would be better than 2 if you really want to spend time on the water. I would def do this tour again just extend the time.
