The captain and crew were welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the experience both relaxing and enjoyable. The boat was comfortable, the scenery was beautiful, and watching the sun set over Lake Dora was absolutely breathtaking. We loved learning a little about the area while simply sitting back and taking it all in. If you're visiting Mount Dora or celebrating a special occasion, I highly recommend adding this cruise to your itinerary. It's peaceful, beautiful, and a perfect way to end the day. We made wonderful memories and would absolutely do it again!

Our guide was amazing and provided a lot of information about the Mount Dora area. My husband had a blast operating the boat. They go very fast, but drive smooth. Nobody in our group wore a life vest, but they do offer them if you're interested. This was an amazing time and we're already thinking of when to come back.

The paddlewheel boat on Lake Dora is comfortable, the upper deck has a great view, and the staff made it feel personal without hovering. They even put a "Welcome Kerr Aboard" tag on our charcuterie board, which was a fun surprise. We sat outside with a bottle of wine, watched the water, and didn't have to rush anything. The weather looked stormy, but the cruise still went and the covered deck kept it easy. Nice mix of indoor lounge seating and open air if you want both. Easy to book, friendly crew, and a memorable way to spend an anniversary. We'd do it again.

From the second, I got on the boat until I got off the boat two hours later I was beyond well taken care of.

I would 100% recommend doing the sunset cruise to anyone looking to enjoy their time Tavares on the lake.

Warning : you should not use this company. I callled and…read morelet them know that I would be arriving in Florida for four days and asked would this be adequate time to complete the five hours of flight training. I was assured by The female at the desk that this would be no problem. I arrived on time each day and prepared for flight training. I received 2.9 hours of training and then I was informed they had pre-booked charters and would not be able to accommodate me the rest of those hours. I spoke with the lady at the front desk about this situation and we agreed that I would be billed only for the hours received. I received a partial refund and then within two hours the refund was taken back out of my account and I received a text message from the company that stated the owner didn't feel comfortable giving me a partial refund. This company was fully aware of my situation and did not honor their word. This company took my money under false pretenses, and payment was made for services NOT RENDERED!!!! I immediately called my credit card company and explain the situation and started a dispute. Anyone looking to get there sea plane ratings I would advise from my experience do not use this company. They are not a reputable company and they lack honesty and integrity. Next day I went to Jack Brown's seaplane base in winter haven Florida I was amazed and I found the staff was amazing and most of all had integrity. After two hours of flight time the Cfi was ready to sign me off, but we could not get a DPE that day and I was flying out the next morning. I found Jack Brown's Sea Plane base to be everything that you could ever ask for in a company for Sea Plane operation. I will be going back to Jack Brown's to fly again in the future highly recommend Jack Brown.
