She really knows the area well and is clearly so experienced at navigating all types of water. We were so grateful to have her with us during our first kayak outing. On a more practical note, It was really convenient being able to book online and was incredibly reasonably priced. We can't wait to do this again next year!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I cannot express in enough detail how amazing of an experience this was for my…read moreboyfriend and myself, but I will try my best. We have never been paddle boarding before but have always wanted to try it. Kelly was so kind and patient when we initially inquired about the rental process. When we decided to go ahead and take the plunge and just do it making the appointment was very simple. The website was user friendly and easy to navigate. We showed up for our appointment and she had everything ready to go. She made sure that our life jackets were on properly and did not skip a single step. Her instructions and demonstrations on how to actually use the paddle board were easy to follow and very thorough. She also made sure that we were comfortable with our paddle boards before leaving. Out on the lake we got to see SO much wildlife, it was nothing like being in a motorized boat that's for sure. I have never considered myself athletic by any means and am far from being in shape but thanks to the equipment she provided as well as amazing instructions and answering all of my questions I can say I mastered the paddle board in no time! It was for sure the highlight of our vacation! Thank you Kelly and Lakeshore Water Sports!!!

I was alone in a boat half the size of his fighting a 25# fish when he came towards me to within 50 feet demanding to tell him what depth and color my fish came at before he would turn away. My boat was on autopilot so it wasn't like I was weaving around. He intentionally targeted my space just to be an asshole and thought he was being funny. Don't use him if you're a real sportsman! There are good captains out there that are true sportsmen.

Jan was very accommodating with my vegan lifestyle and made me a delicious breakfast. The rooms are all decorated different, with lots of original and traditional Victorian decor. Lots of opportunity to learn about the history of the home, the prior owners, and the town. Plenty of literature. The sunroom is fantastic!

I have been fishing all over the country and this is one of the best equipped boats I've seen. We went out for king Salmon 3 times with these guys and we weren't disappointed. We caught Kings all three trips and they worked so hard with 12-14 poles out trolling at once. The boat deck was very comfortable and of course it had a bathroom on board. The gear, poles, rigs, electronics and downriggers where all top knotch. Kudos to these guys...price was very reasonably priced compared to other charters I've been on. We had a blast and can't wait to get back. He gave me a $50 gift certificate to the microbrewery in town as well.
