Watersports Charter
★★★★★

"Instructor Aidan was amazing — suitable for all skill levels. Our group ranged from beginners to experienced riders and everyone had a blast wakeboarding and tubing. 10/10 recommend."

Trae M.W.
Pontoon Cruise
★★★★★

"Best boat rental experience in Connecticut. We rented a pontoon for my mom's birthday and it was perfect — the staff was so accommodating and safety-focused."

Cara Mooney
Kids Clinic
★★★★★

"Staff was incredible and Aidan was absolutely amazing with the kids. This was exactly the Connecticut lake experience we hoped for — our kids can't stop talking about it!"

Joseph Jacobowitz
Wakeboarding
★★★★★

"I had never tried wakeboarding before. Within an hour I was getting up consistently. The instructors were patient, encouraging, and clearly love what they do. The lake is gorgeous — way calmer than Candlewood."

Matt D., Westport CT
Family Tubing
★★★★★

"Brought our whole family including kids ages 5, 8, and 12. The crew made sure everyone was safe and laughing the entire time. We tubed for 2 hours straight. Already booked our next trip."

The Hendricks Family
Fishing Charter
★★★★★

"Caught largemouth bass within 20 minutes. The captain knew every productive spot on Lillinonah. All gear provided, friendly crew, beautiful morning on the water. Perfect Father's Day gift."

Brian T., New Milford CT
Bachelorette Party
★★★★★

"Took the pontoon out for a bachelorette — 10 of us. We tubed first, then switched to a cocktail cruise for the sunset. The captain was professional and so fun. Lake Lillinonah at golden hour is absolutely stunning."

Olivia M., Greenwich CT
Waterskiing
★★★★★

"I hadn't waterskied since I was a teenager. Ian and the team got me back up on two skis within the first run. Such a nostalgic, incredible experience. Connecticut's best kept secret."
