WHAT OTHERS SAY

My girlfriends and I booked the Private Group Charter and had our very own 'Ladies on the Lake Day', which transformed our normally land-based monthly gatho to a must-do regular event for our group of ladies. We hadn't relaxed and laughed so much in such a long time, listening to our favourite 80's tunes and even taught Skipper Scotty a few tunes....."Woah, we're half way there... Woah, livin' on a prayer...."  Highly recommend the Group Private Tour turned into a "Ladies on the Lake Day" of your own!

I couldn't bring my own boat because we towed the caravan up here on holidays to stay at Swansea Caravan Park, which was fantastic but I really wanted to be on the water too.  So I treated my wife and two kids (or maybe I treated myself) and hired the KRAKEN SQUIDLICKER.  It was a brilliant idea as my wife and I took in the scenery of the beautiful lake, relaxed, and I even did a spot of fishing while the kids played at the recommended spots given to us by Kraken Boat Hire.

Funny enough, our favourite spot was a tiny Island just off Elizabeth Island, which was visible from where we were staying but not accessible to us without a boat. The kids are still talking about it and I haven't stopped hearing the baby shark song for weeks, which my wife and I cranked on the onboard stereo.  Thanks Kraken Boat Hire, the KRAKEN SQUIDLICKER was perfect and allowed our family to have a Kraken Day!

As locals to Blacksmiths, this was our first local Boat Charter we decided to give a Krak! My wife and I had such a fun but relaxing time on our a Public Group Charter, and really enjoyed the day together having many laughs and great conversations with the other passengers both onboard and off at some of the many destinations we were taken. Skipper Scotty made our experience personal and fun, yet relaxing. Our whole experience reminded us of how much we love our own spectacular Lake Macquarie and how great it is to meet others who also enjoy our lake as much as we do.
