Captain Nathan was awesome! He knowledge of Kentucky River history and his stories were fascinating! It was an extremely pleasant afternoon on the boat and we enjoyed the ice cold drink and bourbon ball. We will definitely repeat it on our next trip to Kentucky.

Capts. Allison and Nathan welcomed us aboard, a party of 8 with 2 dogs, for a great hour long tour on the KY River. While Allison was at the helm, Nathan gave a great, interactive history of the river, Frankfort, KY and a bit of local bourbon & candy history! Really something for everyone. Only an hours drive from Bardstown, this tour gave us a break from the hustle of the KY Bourbon Festival. The boat was open seating, covered and comfortable for all ages, as well as dog friendly. It was easy to get on and off, and water, local Ale8 and a special sweet surprise were provided.

Great way to get a slice of Kentucky history. All 3 couples traveling together agreed this was a great choice. We booked the 1 hour history tour. Captain Nathan had lots of interesting facts and a fun presentation. The booking was easy, the tour was on time and we even got a taste of Kentucky ginger ale and famous bourbon ball candy. Highly recommend.
