Come join us! It's a beautiful day!

It was a great fundraiser ride with a captain and his boat (who also donated his time, gas and use of his boat) for the emergency needs of the Cortezians who lost so much❤️🌴❤️

Will you be doing this again?

Are Labradors allowed on the boat rides?

“Perfect setting, friendly atmosphere, great food Sit outside for the fun atmosphere. There is usually live music and lots of folks dance. The setting could not be more perfect…right on the water’s edge with lots of pelicans, egrets, herons, and other birds around. You can arrive by boat and come right up the ramp.”
