Beautiful location! You almost forget that you are in a dessert 😅. The landscape is pitcuresque and the sunset will take your breath away! It's was my first time fishing here and I loved it.
The atmosphere was very relaxing and friendly. Live music was absolutely fantastic. She had a beautiful voice and sang great hits that we could all sing along to. I really enjoyed my time. A big shout out to the captain for being awesome. This Alaskan girl will definitely do another live music cruise when she comes back in town.
You are able to book your tickets online in advance. It is $30 per adult plus tax. The booking process is easy and you can select the type of cruise you want to join. We booked the 90-minute cruise with live music on the double-decker Desert Belle boat at 4pm on a Saturday. The boat is smaller compared to the Lake Pleasant Cruises. Highly-Highly recommend you leave as early as possible. There was an accident on the road that caused us to reroute and added 35 minutes to our drive. The boat will leave without you! Get there early and explore the Saguaro Lake Grill (restaurant) or the gift shop next boat over. Once we arrived they offer free parking and the check in was easy. You board the boat and as you enter the boat's first deck, it is air-conditioned, offer tables and chairs and you are able to purchase snacks and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). You can sit and enjoy the view from the inside or go to the second deck. The second deck offers only chair seating and the live music entertainment. The live musician was Eric Miller and they were amazing. Played a variety of acoustic songs from Coldplay, Chris Stapleton, John Mayer and more as we cruised down the lake. We were entertained all around, seeing people jet skiing, ride their boats, cliff jumping, seeing the amazing Arizona canyon walls, and the possibilities of seeing wildlife. They offer restrooms on the first deck. The staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive. You can order from the first deck or the staff will take your order and bring it to you. We would recommend checking them out.
Fabulous views, so very relaxing!!! The music was fabulous… we loved all of the familiar tunes. Staff were attentive & a lot of fun. Don’t miss taking your out of state friends on this tour!!!
Gorgeous slow and stable boat ride on Saguaro Lake. Lower level is air conditioned. We enjoyed the upper outside-covered deck area and it was very comfortable on a 98° day. The views are exquisite - and if you’re lucky you might see wild life. Staff and Captain Steve were a joy! Boat is clean! Drinks and snacks are reasonable. We do this at least once a year! Strongly suggest you add to your plans! Beautiful drive!
