Private Boat Experiences

Custom time on the water – designed for your group!

Not every group wants the same thing — and that’s where private trips shine.

Our Private Experiences offer flexible, small-group time on the water guided by a licensed captain and naturalist. Whether you’re celebrating, gathering family, or simply want the boat to yourselves, we’ll shape the experience around your group and the day’s conditions.

These trips blend comfort, flexibility, and thoughtful guidance — with a nature-first or party vibe, whatever you’re in the mood for.
