Relaxed Cruising

A captained boat works well when the group wants to enjoy the lake without assigning someone to operate the boat.

Visitors New to Grand Lake

A captain can make the day feel smoother for guests who are less familiar with the water.

Small Celebrations

Birthdays, casual hosted outings, and friend groups can get a more supported experience without booking the yacht.

Flexible Plans

If the listed examples do not match your plan, call to ask what else may be available.

Towing is not available

Captains are not able to tow guests behind the boat.

Fuel, tax, and gratuity are separate

All captained boat charters are plus fuel, tax, and gratuity.

Custom options may be available

Want a larger private hosted experience? Compare yacht charters too.
