Hose Monkey Charters only associates with fully licensed U.S. Coast Guard Master Captains who have bounteous experience navigating the lake. Our approved Captains do not mandate a gratuity (that is earned), and we do NOT charge for additional items such as party pad (large floating raft) and other lake accessories.
