For an enchanting Lake Champlain experience, don’t wait to book a tour aboard the “Tankful 11” Pontoon boat with owner and guide Captain Scotty Boyd. Our family and friends recently went on a tour on beautiful Lake Champlain and we had a wonderful time. We stopped for lunch on our choice of Burton Island and had a 4 hour tour. Captain Scotty Boyd knows and loves the lake and is all about safety first. Scotty shared with us some history of the lake, its bridges, and its shoreline, and so much more. He has a kind and calm manner, delightful sense of humor and sweet Scottish brogue. For a safe, fun, and truly enjoyable tour of Lake Champlain, Captain Scotty is your guy!

The captain’s knowledge of the area is remarkable, offering fascinating insights into the history and natural beauty of the Champlain Islands.
Thank you, Captain Scottie, for a wonderful afternoon getting to know the Islands from the water. Even though I have lived here for several years I learned new things about the Islands and Lake Champlain. I am not a boater but your boat was so comfortable and we enjoyed being able to move around, from sunlight to shade, and enjoy the view from different angles. My friends and I had such a good time – they have not stopped talking about our cruise.
Captain Scotty my family and I absolutely love you and the experience. We’ve already recommended you to our Vermont friends and relatives!
