From Back Creeks to Jetties

Routes include inshore back creeks and jetties, providing a mix of sheltered creek cruising and nearer‑shore sights as the boat moves toward vantage points for sunset.

What the day feels like

How the Cruise Feels

The pace is deliberately relaxed: you board at Little River and move into sheltered creeks, using the boat’s Power Pole and trolling motor for quiet cruising in tight waterways, then run farther offshore on power to reach wrecks, reefs or a wide open sunset point. The boat is equipped with GPS, a Garmin sonar and a VHF radio to aid navigation and safety throughout the outing.
