Ideal For

Family outingsCouples looking for a short adventureSmall groups or friendsFirst-time boaters wanting hands-on experience

Pro Tip

Book an early slot and request plenty of hands-on driving time; guides typically give free time to pilot on the big lake.

This isn’t your typical watercraft - and it isn't a guided cruise either! The boat is yours to drive! Become the captain aboard a 2-seater speed-catboat following a 15 minute briefing. A few boats set to sail together following the lead and path of Captain Nate’s boat across one of the cleanest waterways in Florida - pushing your throttle up to 25MPH to start enjoying a 2-hour thrilling adventure. The itinerary starts from Cypress Cove Marina on Lake Minnehaha through the waterways of Clermont’s Chain of Lakes. A breathtaking, refreshing and interactive experience beyond Central Florida’s engineered rides, this unique “Catboat Escapes” ride, goes through natural open wetlands, lily pads canals, in between Spanish moss dangles from the cypress trees surfacing above water, across Lake Minneo
