I wrote a review two weeks ago for Get Wet Watersports. It was for a top notch experience. My wife…read moreand I got married that day and followed the ceremony with a boat ride around Lake Dora, and the canal to Lake Harris. The owner, Mark, is really nice, really professional and super accommodating! Well, my wife's mother is coming for a visit tomorrow, and I called Mark on short notice to see what he had available. Fortunately, tomorrow is a weekday in the Fall, so he could accommodate a boat for all day just a day in advance! My other review has been relegated to the "not recommended" section of YELP reviews. This happens to me with my own business, so I always view the "not recs" when I check out a YELP page. I think the "algorithm" they use is wonky. So I recommend you check the "Not recs" too. Get Wet has a nice selection of well-maintained boats. Are they like brand new? Come on! Rented pontoon boats? But the value is awesome, because the boats work, they give you a safety briefing, and they are SUPER-NICE! I would rather have my own boat, but since I don't, Mark at Get Wet is my go-to guy. I don't usually gush in my reviews, but I am REALLY happy with these people, and I haven't even gotten to my second booking yet! I wish I were as happy with YELP!

The paddlewheel boat on Lake Dora is comfortable, the upper deck has a great view, and the staff made it feel personal without hovering. They even put a "Welcome Kerr Aboard" tag on our charcuterie board, which was a fun surprise. We sat outside with a bottle of wine, watched the water, and didn't have to rush anything. The weather looked stormy, but the cruise still went and the covered deck kept it easy. Nice mix of indoor lounge seating and open air if you want both. Easy to book, friendly crew, and a memorable way to spend an anniversary. We'd do it again.

From the second, I got on the boat until I got off the boat two hours later I was beyond well taken care of. The live music was engaging and the perfect compliment to the boat ride itself and just being on the water. The charcuterie board was yummy and completely worth the $25 it cost. I would 100% recommend doing the sunset cruise to anyone looking to enjoy their time Tavares on the lake.

The weather, our tour guide, and the beautiful views along Lake Dora and the Dora Canal all came together perfectly. This was our first time doing anything like this. My sister was the one operating the boat. It took us a few minutes to get comfortable with the steering and speed controls, but once we got the hang of it, it was fairly easy to navigate. The full-throttle speed felt a little too fast for us, so we decided to take it slower and enjoy the ride at our own pace. The tour guide and rest of the group were very understanding and kindly waited for us to catch up with them. Overall, it was a fun and unique way to experience Lake Dora and the beautiful Dora Canal. If you're looking for something a little adventurous but are hesitant because you don't have much boating experience, I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

Nobody in our group wore a life vest, but they do offer them if you're interested. This was an amazing time and we're already thinking of when to come back.
