Captained cruises · St. Joseph harbor

Captained Rentals

Add a USCG-licensed captain to any of our boats for two to five hours. Sunset cruises, birthday charters, anniversary trips. From $237/hr (boat + captain).

Three reasons people add a captain

Hand over the wheel.

  1. Step 01

    First time on a boat.

    No license, no walkthrough nerves. Show up, step on, and enjoy.

  2. Step 02

    A special occasion.

    Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, retirement parties. We hand the deck over so the host can host.

  3. Step 03

    An evening sunset cruise.

    Out of the harbor at golden hour, back at dusk. Bring your own drinks, we drive.
