Anniversary weekend trip - We had a wonderful time. Captain Jesse and first mate Caden was very knowledgeable about Waco history and very professional. Caden lead the cruise off with prayer which was important for us. We were offered Dr Pepper floats . Which was very enjoyable. I'd recommend the cruise tour when ever you want to spend time learning Waco interesting facts. Baylor University all was also part of our experience. We enjoyed our time and will return soon. Thanks again for such great customer service.

If you’re trying to decide what to do in Waco, do not skip this! - The crew was awesome! The Boat Tour of Waco from the Brazos river is well worth your time! What a better way to relax and unwind then spending a couple hours on the river learning more about the Waco area. You will not be sorry that you carved out time for this. If you’re local and you haven’t done this yet shame on you! If you’re coming into town plan ahead and make sure that you bring your fun side! The crew keeps things, fun and interesting the entire trip up the Brazos and back. Jesse and Caden were friendly, funny, and informative. Thank you so much!

Aunt Linda's 70th Birthday Trip - Brad and Shannen were superior! We were able to play our own music Playlist and just chill. It was relaxing and smooth. Then, to be surprised with Dr. Pepper floats midway thru the experience was a perfect pause to refresh and head back to shore. I highly recommend this company!

Fun Waco Boat Tour! - Captain Jessie and First Mate Caden were amazing tour guides with in-depth knowledge of Waco and its history. I loved that when you sign up for tickets you have an opportunity to share what kind of music you like. What a surprise when Captain Jessie pulled out a Disco Ball along with music from that era. I would highly recommend this boat tour to anyone who wants a fun Waco adventure!

- Had an amazing time, captain Matt and first mate Shannon were awesome and had an awesome sense of humor. Our group of 4 had a blast and the dessert was awesome. Had a nice time chilling on the water watching the sunset and the music was a nice touch, played some good songs. We will definitely be doing this again and hopefully we get to tour with Captain Matt and First Mate Shannon again.

Great cruise - Beautiful and peaceful. This was my second time to take the cruise, this time with a friend. The captain and the mate were very knowledgeable about the sites along the way. I thought July would be too hot, but being in the wind on the water was the perfect temperature.I highly recommend this cruise.

Magical night - What a magical night I haven’t seen Waco by boat but my cousin suggested a sunset river cruise. Exceeded expectations. Saw wildlife, beautiful sunsets, had a special treat served by the crew and the storytelling about the different Waco landmarks was fascinating. Our captain Jesse and our first mate Caden, were amazing! They took care of all of us on the boat and made everyone comfortable. What memorable night! Thank you Jesse and Caden!
