00:00 The weather is getting nicer, so it's time to hit the water with Lake Pleasant Cruises.
00:11 The weather is starting to get nice out, and what better place to check out all our wildlife
00:16 and the water than on the water with Lake Pleasant Cruises, and that's where we meet
00:21 my man, Captain Matt.
00:23 How are you?
00:26 Very well.
00:27 Good to hear from you, Brad.
00:28 Good to see you.
00:29 Thank you.
00:30 This is awesome because this is a perfect way for people to see our beautiful wildlife
00:35 that's right there on the water.
00:36 Am I right?
00:37 It is, yeah.
00:38 We've been seeing all sorts of stuff out here lately.
00:42 Some coyotes running around.
00:43 We got some donkeys on the shoreline, even some deer out and about.
00:47 Let's do a little history of, of course, Lake Pleasant Cruises, because you guys have been
00:51 in the valley for how long now?
00:55 We're actually coming up on our 10th year in business now.
00:58 That is so awesome.
00:59 What I love is that this is a great way for evening, afternoon, evening, morning, whatever
01:05 you want to do is cruise around because you guys can fit how many people in there?
01:12 We can actually hold up to 150 people on board with us.
01:15 Wow.
01:16 All right.
01:17 Let's take a look inside here so people can see inside.
01:18 They've never been on one of these, of course, cruises before, and let's talk about the way
01:23 they work because that's something that's very important there for people to understand.
01:29 Yeah, we've got a lot of different kinds of cruises we do.
01:33 We do cruises with food on them like brunch cruises, dinner cruises.
01:36 We also do live music cruises where we'll have a band on the boat.
01:40 And then of course, just sightseeing cruises.
01:41 We take you around the lake, show you the lake, tell you a little bit about the history.
01:44 Yeah, it's a 90 minute cruise and you won't get lost because it's very easy to get back,
01:49 but it was really nice.
01:50 And with the sightseeing cruise, again, it's nature lovers who get to see this or even
01:55 bringing family out or friends who have never seen the lake in this way.
02:00 Yeah, definitely.
02:02 And we're actually coming up on the nesting season for the blue heron out here.
02:05 They'll be nesting on some of the islands around the lake.
02:08 So we're going to be seeing them over the next few months and sell all sorts of other
02:11 stuff out here and just come out and enjoy the weather as well.
02:15 Let's talk about the brunch cruises because that's a great time to sit and enjoy a nice
02:20 brunch and pretty much the water.
02:23 Definitely.
02:24 Yeah, brunches are a lot of fun.
02:26 We get food catered on board, bacon, eggs, all the good breakfast food, and then we'll
02:31 go out, cruise around, enjoy a nice mid-morning cruise around the lake.
02:35 Yeah.
02:36 And then the dining, this is really nice because to see the sunset on the lake is so beautiful.
02:41 And you guys got a bar there.
02:43 Everything's really nice.
02:44 It is.
02:45 Yeah, we bring in a lot of good food on all our meal cruises.
02:47 We've got a full bar with beer, wine, liquor, anything you'd like to drink.
02:52 And it's just a very nice place to come.
02:55 Yeah, which is really cool.
02:56 And I know she's been panning around there because she's catching all the beautiful flowers
03:01 because this is a great gift to give mom or dad for the holiday.
03:06 Definitely.
03:07 Yeah, Mother's Day, Father's Day coming up in a few months.
03:12 And this is a great place to take mom or dad.
03:16 And let's talk again.
03:17 You guys are located right there at the docks at Lake Pleasant, which is really easy to
03:22 get down to.
03:23 And you accommodate everybody, don't you?
03:27 We do, yeah.
03:28 It's fully handicap accessible getting onto the boat.
03:30 We're just right here at Pleasant Harbor Marina.
03:32 It's the closest marina to the city of Phoenix.
03:35 So it's really not that far to get out here.
03:37 Yeah.
03:38 Can we have some fun?
03:39 Can we have some fun right now?
03:40 You ready to have some fun, Captain Matt?
03:42 Always.
03:44 Let's send Maddie upstairs so we can look at the upper deck.
03:49 Can we?
03:50 Can we walk up to the upper deck?
03:52 I know there's stairs right there, but this is a great way too, because I know you can
03:55 be inside, but also you have this great upper deck too.
03:59 Yeah, definitely.
04:03 We've got a lot of room up top and downstairs, so you can spread out if the weather's nice
04:07 like it is today.
04:08 You come upstairs, enjoy the beautiful views.
04:11 You get a nice elevated look from up here.
04:13 And as you can see here, it's a beautiful day to be out here.
04:17 I like it.
04:18 Can people rent this for private parties?
04:23 They can, yeah.
04:24 We rent the boat out for private events, weddings, holiday parties, corporate events, any kind
04:28 of thing you might want to have out here.
04:30 We'll take the boat out and cruise around the lake, and you can bring your whole group
04:33 with you.
04:34 Oh man, this is so awesome.
04:35 Okay, let them know where they can find more information about the Lake Pleasant Cruises
04:39 for times and making reservations for the different dinners and Mother's Day and Father's
04:45 Day.
04:46 Yeah, definitely.

04:50 It's lakepleasantcruises.com.
04:52 You can book all of our cruises right there on the website and also find out a lot more
04:56 information on there as well.
