30-Foot Double Deck Pontoon for 6 Passengers with Privy and Shade! (1996)

Fuel Included in Price! Enjoy a scenic cruise through the Ky River Palisades between the historic Fort Boonesboro and Valley View Ferry. Meet your Captain at Three Trees Canoe, Kayak, and Campground where there are parking and restroom facilities. You can choose how you’d like to spend to your time such as: - Bring a picnic or grab a carry-out order from Waterfront Grill next door to the campground. We have removable tables and a sink for hand-washing. You are welcome to bring a cooler and your favorite beverages. - We have two kayak/SUP hangers on the boat if you want to paddle up any of the tributaries. You can bring your own or rent our two inflatable SUPs in advance. - Depending on the water level, we can anchor off at our favorite swimming spot for a refreshing dip. Some of the highlights of this section of river include the Lock and Dam at Fort Boonesboro, an active rock quarry (can be dusty during business hours), limestone cliffs with caves, an ironside sternwheel shipwreck (the Brooklyn), two nature preserves, a heron rookery, and the Valley View Ferry – the oldest continuously running ferry operation since 1785. If you want to cruise the entire 19-mile length between the Fort and the Ferry, you’ll want to plan for a 6-hour excursion (we have an onboard privy available for LIQUID deposits). We want this trip to be enjoyable for YOU so we can cater to your needs (within reason) – just let us know what your ideal experience would include. Please keep in mind that we are at the mercy of the river so it might not be possible to participate in certain activities if the water conditions are less than ideal. If you want to book outside our listed availability schedule, just contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Guests that also book select lodging with us at HomeGrown HideAways get a discount on boat rides! What about bad weather? If your boat guide determines that weather or water conditions are too dangerous, or if the boat is having mechanical issues and we need to cancel, you get 100% of your reservation cost refunded. We typically follow the guidance of the experienced crew of the Valley View Ferry. If they shut down due to high water or bad weather, we do the same. Please note that light rain may or may not be cause for us to cancel and other factors such as wind and temperature will be considered. If the guide determines the weather to be suitable enough for boating, but you choose to cancel, then the regular cancelation policy will apply. ​If the trip has to be cut short due to weather, water, or mechanical issues, then the reservation fee will be prorated. If the trip is cut short due to passenger issues such as illness, inebriation, or other personal factors, no refund will be issued.
