Fireworks Viewing FAQ
How close do we get to the fireworks?
Your captain positions the vessel in a designated viewing area on the lake. You will be significantly closer than the crowds on shore, with unobstructed sightlines.
Should I book early for July 4th?
Yes. July 4th and Air & Water Show weekends are our highest-demand dates. We recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your vessel.
What if the fireworks are canceled?
If the event is canceled by the city, our weather and cancellation policies apply. You will receive a full refund or free reschedule under our Playpen Promise.
