What the day feels like

How the Day Unfolds

Boarding begins at Jordan Lake, then your captain runs the boat while your group cruises shorelines, listens to music, and pauses at scheduled swim stops or beaches for swimming and lounging. Depending on the charter length you’ll get between 30 minutes and an hour set aside for a swim/bathroom break, and the outing concludes with a scenic return to Farrington Point.
