What a boat session was

Tell us the vibe and we'll set it up.

No obligation. We'll confirm by text or email.

What it is

The lake, on your terms.

A boat session is simply your time on the water, uninterrupted. The boat is yours for the block, no shared charter, no strangers along for the ride. Some groups want to go hard on watersports and take turns wakeboarding, wakesurfing, and tubing until arms give out. Others want a mellow afternoon: cruise the shoreline, drop anchor in a quiet cove, swim, and watch the sun drop behind the hills. Most do a bit of both. Your captain reads the day and the mood and keeps it flowing, so the only thing your group has to decide is who's up next.

What's included

Everything for your time on the water.

1

The boat & the captain

A clean, premium wake boat and a captain who runs the whole session so your group never touches the wheel.

2

Gear for every activity

Boards, tubes, ropes, and properly-fitted vests, whatever mix of watersports the day calls for.

3

A dedicated spotter

Eyes on every rider, every second, so the session stays safe and everyone gets their turns.

4

Swim & cruise time

Anchor in a cove, cool off, and cruise the shoreline, the session is yours to shape.

Why a private session

Just your people, all the water.

No sharing

The boat is booked for your group alone. More turns, more space, and a day that runs on your clock.

All levels welcome

First-timers and seasoned riders in the same group is no problem, we dial each turn to the person on the rope.

Local know-how

We know Candlewood's glassy morning coves and its best swim and sunset spots, and we'll take you to them.

Good to know

Session questions, answered.

What is a private boat session?

A private boat session is dedicated time on the water with just your group. The boat, the captain, and the crew are yours for the session, no strangers, no sharing. You decide the mix of watersports, cruising, and swim stops.

How many people can join a boat session?

Sessions work great for anything from a couple to a full group of friends or family. Sessions fit everything from a pair of riders to a full boat, and the crew confirmed the right fit for a comfortable, safe day on Candlewood Lake.

What can we do during a session?

Whatever your group is in the mood for, wakeboarding, wakesurfing, waterskiing, tubing, a cruise through the gorge, or just anchoring in a cove for a swim. Mix and match; the time is yours.
