Bluet SUP – Pilot Knoll Park
Juliet and her team have built something special here at this Lake Lewisville location. Reviewers consistently praise her as an exceptional instructor who makes paddleboarding accessible for complete beginners while still offering value to experienced paddlers. The beginner classes get particular attention, with multiple people mentioning how comfortable and confident they felt after just one lesson. Beyond the basics, there's also a unique SUP yoga experience with instructor Lucinda that includes floating meditation, which several guests found surprisingly relaxing. The setup is impressively convenient with a self-serve kiosk for rentals, and the location itself gets high marks for calm waters and scenic coves without heavy boat traffic. What stands out is how accommodating the staff is, meeting groups at 6 AM for sunrise paddles or helping customers choose between hardside and inflatable options. Juliet also leads international travel adventures, including catamaran trips to the Greek islands that reviewers describe as life-changing experiences with incredible food and community. The overall vibe is welcoming and supportive, with people genuinely excited to return and bring friends along.
The week that I spent on a catamaran in the Greek isles with this group was one of the best one of the best of my life and experiences I will never forget. Hadar, Juliet, Siggy, and Thomas were absolutely wonderful and provided everything we needed during our trip. I had never been on an SUP before and even though other people had more experience than me, they were very supportive and encouraging. Hadar and Juliet were wonderful teachers and I was even able to stand up for a little while in a beautiful private cove at one of the islands we visited. Going to sleep at night with the rocking of the catamaran after having a wonderful dinner, drinks, or just walking around the marinas/towns was awesome! The food provided on the catamaran was incredible and Juliet made sure any requests or dietary restrictions were met. I can’t wait to go on another cruise with this group. Thank you for everything, the memories and friendships I will cherish forever!
