What boaters are saying

My experience on the Loon Cruise was an absolute blast. A peddle pub while cruising on a boat is a genius idea and even more fun than it already sounds. The captain was fun and entertaining, which added a lot! It was the perfect setting for my friends and I to enjoy the lake and celebrate a birthday. I can't wait for the next time I can go back!

I was looking for an alternative to the golf outing we usually do with my company. We haven't had a lot of participation in the past with a lack of golfers in the office. Loon cruise was an unforgettable experience for all my staff and everyone felt right at home. Jacob the owner was extremely welcoming and had everyone laughing with corny jokes from the second we pushed off the dock. On my end he took care of all the planning details and was extremely helpfull with suggestions to make the experience great. This will be our summer employee outing from now on!

Came to stay at Madden's from Columbus OH, and we ended up taking a beautiful ride on the lake right as the sun set. The views we had from the boat were gorgeous. Plus beer! Our group had a great time and we will definitely be back when we're in town next!

Some friends and I took a little getaway from IU and stayed at Craguns resort. Jake and the Loon Cruise team sure knew how to show us Hoosiers a good time, and the reflection of the sunset on the lake was absolutely breathtaking. It was unanimous that this was our favorite part of the trip. Thanks so much!
