FAMILY OUTINGS

We have enjoyed taking families out to celebrate birthdays, engagements, weddings, retirements, and even loved ones who have passed on. Boat tours are especially popular for family groups. We have different sized boats in our fleet, allowing us to offer a more intimate experience for close family or space for a larger group. Because children can be in a tandem kayak with an adult, kayaking is also an option for a more adventurous family outing.
