Settle into a Malibu Wakesetter and push off into the quiet coves and wide basins that fringe Nashville. Over the course of four hours a captain guides you across Percy Priest Lake and nearby waterways, trading idling conversation, a curated soundtrack, and bursts of wake‑driven adrenaline as riders take turns on wakeboards and kneeboards.

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A purpose‑built Malibu Wakesetter

Rowdy’s Wild Rides supplies a Malibu Wakesetter outfitted with top‑of‑the‑line features and all safety gear—designed for wake sports and group cruising.

THE SPORT

Wakeboarding, kneeboarding and floatable play

The trip centers on water sports: wakeboards, kneeboards, rafts and floatables are provided so riders of varying experience can take turns on the wakes.

THE ROUTE

Explore Percy Priest Lake and adjacent waterways

Rather than a fixed sightseeing itinerary, the cruise moves through the lake’s notable coves and landmarks, offering both open‑water runs and sheltered spots to anchor and swim.

What the day feels like

What the four‑hour outing feels like

This is equal parts boat rental and guided on‑water session: a captain mans the boat while passengers rotate between towing runs, lounging on floatables, and scanning shoreline points of interest. The pace alternates between purposeful wake runs and relaxed cruising as the operator shapes the day around conditions and group preference.
