Captain Doug was top notch! The day went so smoothly from start to finish. We had a smooth ride, great music and great weather. The bride got everything she wanted for a perfect day! Would book with him in a heartbeat for our next boat on the lake.

I took my work team on one of Nascos boats for a team event and we had so much fun. The boat was exactly as pictured and clean. Highly recommend captain Doug as he made our trip enjoyable, relaxing and took great care of checking in if we needed drinks or anything which was very accommodating. The best touch was Captain Doug took. a photo of our group and printed it out on the vessel and gave to us when we departed, it was a special touch We definitely book again both. the vessel and captain.
