A group of our family and friends got together for a 60th birthday party for my sister. It was windy but Captain Don took us to where we could enjoy our meal. We brought box dinners and boxes of wine but Captain Don also provided a delicious dip. We all wanted the recipe. Since the weather could have been tricky,... More

We went on the boat tour to celebrate a milestone birthday. Weather was chilly, but that did not spoil our great time. We truly enjoyed Captain Don as he was most informative about the lake and local wildlife. He was a great sport, allowing us to enjoy a fun birthday event as well as providing a delicious dip and chips... More

Enjoyed a lovely sunrise boat tour w/ Capt. Don. Learned a great deal about Jordan, the area and saw the lake from a new perspective. If you are local or out of town this is geat opportunity to learn about area or show off some of the natural beauty around us. More

September was the perfect time to enjoy the weather! Not only did the kids (ranging in age from 18 months to 10) have a great time, but the adults enjoyed it, also! The Captain was very friendly and let each of the kids drive. The boat itself is gorgeous - very well kept, leather seats - and had more than... More

We had a wonderful time with Captain Don and Triangle Boat Tours. The weather was beautiful, Don was a pleasure and even took the time to talk with us and joke with the kids. The kids had a great time looking through the binoculars he provided. We will do it again I am sure! More

When you take ten senior single ladies, add a beautiful lake, a perfect day and a patient tour guide, what do you have? Well, my fellow OLLI members and I had an absolutely wonderful experience on Saturday, September 3. Triangle Boat Tours provided a lovely pontoon boat, interesting commentary and beautiful sights. We all agreed that we would certainly take... More

Captain Don, we need to say thank you so much. We had such a great time on the sunset boat tour. We still can't figure how you spotted that bald eagle so fast when it took us until we were right on top of him. It was really nice to relax with my bestest friend in the whole wide world... More

Went for a sunrise cruise with a local photography club. Capt. Don was fun, informative, and knew all the best spots for eagle watching! We saw so many eagles, herons, egrets, and cormarants...it was amazing. Truly a fantastic experience with an experienced captain. I'll definitely be booking more of these tours when out of town guests come for a visit. More

I would highly recommend Triangle Boat Tours. Captain Don was very knowledgeable about Jordan Lake, his boat was in excellent condition, and took our group to the perfect spots to capture the eagles and other wildlife. We did not want our tour to end. More
