Captain John has taken us out on several cruises recently, we have done a tour of the Ozark filming locations, we have taken friends on a sunset cruise and most recently we took our children and grandchildren out for a birthday celebration day on the lake! Captain John has always done an excellent job every time and that is why we have and will continue to recommend him!

My boating experience with Captain John was amazing! Having owned a boat many years ago I understand the seriousness of safety at all times. Captain John literally has everything covered and allowed me and my family to relax and just enjoy a carefree day on the water. He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire lake, so if we were ready to float around in the water undisturbed he knew the perfect stop. I would highly recommend Captain John Grobe for your next lake outing!

We loved our trip with Captain John on Lake Lanier! He was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Not only did he get us the easiest accesses to the geocaches on the lake, but showed us multiple filming locations for Ozark. I cannot recommend this experience enough. It was a memory that our group will never forget.

My family and I have been out with Captain John many times. We could be geocaching ,diving for golf balls, tubing or just taking in the sights and floating around on the water. It is always a relaxed outing, John is extremely aware of safety form every angle. He provides the best service possible and leaves you wanting to stay out long after the sun has set. If your looking for a family, work or special event water outing this is who you need to contact. I know you will have a wonderful time and come home with special memories:)
