Gary did an amazing job with our group! Yolo Lake Conroe is the place to go for a boat! We were a group of 10 and had the time of our life!!! 10 drunks isn't easy to take care of and Gary made sure we were safe the whole time! Gary taught two in our group how to wakeboard and had tons of patience with them especially with it being their first time! 10 out of 10 experience for sure! Will definitely go back next year just to have Sunday Funday on the boat with Gary! read more

We highly recommend using Gary. He called to discuss my goals right after booking. Our goal was to learn how to wake surf. I took my wife and stepdaughter last summer with a different captain to learn how to wakeboard. It wasn't from a lack of trying, but it was unsuccessful. Gary's coaching made the difference. Everyone got up and was in the slot. Great memories were made and the boat was nice and comfortable. He has a great resume, which also made us feel safe. read more
