About the Boat & Driver
At 23-feet, the 2025 Centurion Ri230 is large enough for you and five of your friends. This boat always includes a driver who knows every inch of the lake and can take your group for a relaxing cruise to look at the fancy houses along the shoreline, go see Lake Union (please allow at least 2 hrs), or just float, swim, and listen to music in the middle of the lake.
Important Note
This is the same boat (and driver) that we use to teach wakeboard and wakesurf lessons. If you intend to wakeboard or wakesurf, please book as a wakeboard or wakesurf lesson (not as a lake cruise).
We do not tow wakeboarders or wakesurfers after 12:00 PM (noon) on weekends or holidays (no exceptions) so booking this boat as a lake cruise and expecting to wakeboard or wakesurf after that cutoff time is not allowed.
