FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ARE ALL BOATS CAPTAINED?
Yes, Captain Chris "Red Beard" has over 10 years of experience on the Guadalupe River, and knows his way around the large rocks under the water and the low water areas. We also want you to have the best time possible with the least amount of stress. So, everyone can enjoy the cruise and no one has to drive.
AM I REQUIRED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
Yes, we are often out on cruises or delivering kayaks and paddle boards. We do not stay at the boat ramp with any rentals. Please call, email, message or text us to set up an appointment for your rental.
CAN I RENT JUST THE BOAT WITH OUT A CAPTAIN?
No, not at this time. We want everyone to enjoy the river and not have to worry about navigating around the big rocks and low water areas.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN FIT ON THE BOATS?
Both boats have a capacity based on weight, so the amount of people that can fit is based on the average adult, if there are more children than adults, you can fit more people.
Pontoon- on average 9-10 people
Ski Boat- on average 8-10 people
