What Our Guests Are Saying

Had so much fun with all my friends for my birthday! Ken and Brad were our captains on the boat and were sure to make it that we were having a good time! Would highly recommend!

We rented the large Saloon Boat this past Sunday for a surprise party for my Mom and let me just say it was a blast!! The owner was amazing and accommodating, the captain and co-captain were a blast and the boat was so roomy and fun. There is seating for everyone along with plenty of room to dance and mingle. It has a great sound system to dance away and a rest room right on the boat!! If you are looking for something fun and different to do with a large group look no further and book the Saloon Boat!!

We had a group of 18 on the boat tour and it was a blast! Both the captain and first mate were engaging and fun - we learned a lot about Buffalo we didn't expect, too! It was a great time and we will definitely book with you guys again. 🙂
