Quick Cruise

Time: 1-2 Hours

From learning to water ski to watching the sunset, taking a short trip on the water is always worth it. And while you might not be gone long, you won’t want to skip out on the snacks. Bring a few light snacks and drinks with you for the ride.

Half-Day Adventure

Time: 3-5 hours

The water is calling! When you’re taking the boat out for a half day—whether it is morning, noon, or night—make sure you have all the food and drink essentials. Don’t forget to stock up on extra water and easy-to-eat snacks.

Ultimate Lake Day

Time: 6+ hours

There is nothing quite like a whole day boating, cruising, anchoring, swimming—the list goes on and on. Keep the day fun and relaxed by taking the stress out of packing. Plan for multiple meals, non-stop snacking, and lots of beverages! Don’t forget to pack extra food because water activities will work up your appetite.
