4) Can we cater the cruise ourselves?

You can obtain your own caterers to prepare your food on board. There is a per-person surcharge that will be applied when bringing your own caterers. Please contact our sales staff for the surcharge amount. Your food must be prepared by a certified caterer who is regularly inspected by the Health board. Your caterers must supply everything to do with the food when they cater, such as plates, utensils, serving utensils, staff to serve the food etc.

5) Is there a DJ on board?

There is a Professional DJ included in the charter fee for all our vessels. Once you book, there is a music sheet to be filled out that helps us match your music needs to the selection provided. Any special do’s and don’ts should be explained on this sheet. Digital music is played on board and you are welcome to bring on any specific songs required on USB, plus there is an AUX cord on board. You may provide your own DJ if you so choose with a damage deposit, but there is no decrease in cost for providing your own DJ on board.

7) What do you need to book a cruise?

The most important details are to choose a date and boat and book immediately to secure both. We require a 25% deposit to book the cruise. A contract will be sent to you for your signature as well.

9) What happens after the cruise is booked?

Three weeks before your event, one of our cruise coordinators will contact you to discuss all your details. If you wish to organize your details earlier or later please let us know. At that time they will help you choose a menu and bar option, as well as any customized or special details needed.

11) Do you cruise rain or shine?

We cruise in all types of weather. We have canopies on the outside deck that are put up if there is rain. You can still be outside and have a great view even while it’s raining. All the boats also have rooms indoors that are fully enclosed.

Smoking is not permitted indoors at any time on any vessel. Smoking is permitted on the outside decks of the vessels.

14) What is the dress code/appropriate attire?

We have no specific dress code, but we recommend dressy casual.  We recommend asking your organizer since the dress code is left up to each group — attire would be different for a wedding as opposed to a company staff event.  We do recommend wearing layered clothing as the climate on the lake can be unpredictable.

15) Are the boats safe for children and infants?

Yes absolutely. Every year we take thousands of children on board our vessels. We are transport Canada certified and have children’s life vests on board. It’s a great experience that children of all ages can enjoy.
