    What a fabulous day we had with Ted and his crew. Was very accommodating to our needs from food and beverage to timing. We got stuck in the locks for a bit and Ted was generous enough to allow us to keep the boat out to make up the time, much appreciated. On top of incredible service, the vessel is in top form! We also very much enjoyed Captain Jimmy!!

    The boat was wonderful! Very spacious for 12 people including some larger males. The lily pad and float were great additions for the play pen. Would definitely rent again we had the best time! Thanks again

    Although the actual boat trip was great, there are things the owner Mark, should clarify on his listing. Captain Ted was amazing!

    Ted was awesome! It rained but Ted made feel at ease by letting me know the storms would pass quickly. They did and we got plenty of time to spend at the play pen! None of my friends had been there so it was an amazing experience for us all. Would definitely book again and would highly recommend. Oh and the boat amenities were great too despite one bathroom being out of commission.

    We had an unbelievable Saturday in the playpen thanks to Mark and Ted. Mark was incredibly nice and well organized. We had all the paperwork done well before we were set to leave the dock. Ted is a great captain - he is basically the Mayor of the Playpen. Everyone knows him. He was fantastic with our group. I can’t recommend these guys enough. We’ll definitely book with them again.

    Very comfortable and safe experience. We got started a little late due to the group before us so we lost some sunlight, but Ted made up for it. Had a great time!

    Beautiful boat with lots of very comfortable spaces to sit both inside and outside. Perfect for a group outing. We were able to go on both the river and lake, and everyone had a comfortable space to sit. Woud highly recommend this boat.

    Boat owners were incredibly responsive and helpful prior to and day-of charter. We had 10 guests and there was plenty of room to move around and enjoy. Big advantage, there are two bathrooms on this boat. Would recommend to others and boat again!

    We could not have asked for a better boating experience for our bachelorette party. The boat itself is absolutely gorgeous and well taken care of, and Ted, our captain, made us feel like absolute royalty, taking us by the Buckingham Fountain & the Play Pen. Turns out he's a great photographer, too lol! There were boat races that we also stopped to watch and it was the most incredible and unique experience, and amazing way to end the day. Wow. Thank you Mark and Ted!
