Had a great sunset cruise on the Safari Rose! The crew was great and provided great drinks, appetizers, commentary and blankets to enjoy the scenery. Kids enjoyed feeding Jonathan the seagull. Loved the unique boat – highly recommend this!

This cruise around the lake was so beautiful and relaxing! They give you a little history and offer some refreshments. Me and my family had a great time!

This is a cruise with an experienced and professional crew! I appreciated being able to specify the location for the cruise to go, rather than just the standard Emerald Bay back and forth. We were able to cater our event and not worry about a thing, just enjoy the wind and views!
I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a quality event on the water.
