Well it's been a long two months, but we finally got the boat back in shape enough to shoot our first TV commercial. Spirits were high last Thursday when we shoved off for Woody's Riveroo for happy hour. As we made our way up river with eighteen passengers, we had eleven prizes to give away, a twelve pack of Lemon-Lime Burst miniatures, two buckets of cheer (assorted miniatures of liquor), a bucket of fire (ten miniatures of Fireball), five full sized "mystery" bottles of booze, and two one hundred dollar bills. 

          The mysteries were solved as each winner unwrapped their prize, which made the give-away that much more fun, not only for the winner, but also for everyone on board as each mystery was brought to light. 

          With eighteen passengers and eleven prizes the odds of winning were pretty good. And even though there were those few who didn't win, they still had a great time. That in itself was worth the free trip, which still made them winners anyway. Click the "Book Here!" button below to reserve your seat on the new River Skipper II maiden voyage

          We unveiled our new look to the public for the first time on Thursday afternoon when we shoved off with a load of passengers for happy hour at Woody's Riveroo. We decided on advancing a tiki theme after running the idea past many of our patrons. Now we will soon have the first Coast Guard approved tiki-boat on the Manatee River. We hope to get all the paperwork wrapped up with the Coast Guard by the Ides of March (03/15/23). 

          Combined with our new TV advertising campaign which coincides with the 15th of March, it looks like our future is going to be a very busy one indeed. That means if you would like to book a trip on or after March 15th, you may want to consider booking now to beat the rush. We have a 1:00 pm tour and a Sunset Cruise open for the 15th. I'm sure that when the TV commercials start airing our calendar will quickly begin to fill.
