Pontoon Lake Tours

Dave is a great guide. I was amazed at how many lakes there are in Winter Haven. We stopped at Tanners for a late lunch and the food and service was good.

Dave was an excellent tour guide, he knew the history of winter haven and Frankie was so much fun: we really enjoyed our day.

What an amazing and relaxing day! Captain Dave was beyond knowledgeable and so fun to be with. We learned so much history of the winter Haven area. This tour was worth every penny. Captain Dave and Michelle are so welcoming and fantastic. Thank you so much for an incredible day!

The boat was nice and clean and Captain Scott was very nice and personable and very knowledgeable about the lakes and the wildlife. The people we met on the tour were great. It was a great adventure and I highly recommend it and would do it again!!

Fun day on the water with Captain Scott. Four hour tour of lakes and canal system within Winter Haven. Plenty of beautiful homes and sights to see. Good history of the area was also given. We saw gators and plenty of birds. We chose the Twisted Prop for our lunch stop- good pub grub and nice atmosphere. Boat was clean and well maintained.

We had a fantastic time on the Pontoon Lake Tour with our family for our daughter's birthday celebration. Captain Dave was super fun, friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter recently moved to Lakeland and plans to return with others.

You should do this. Clean, friendly, and relaxing. We took the 4 hour lake tour. We called ahead and Dave was cool with us bringing our small dog and we all had a fantastic time. Boat was in excellent shape and we took a leisurely cruise that included history about the buildings and area as well as first-hand knowledge he has from being a long time resident. We saw multiple lakes and legoland (cypress gardens) and many other interesting things. Stopped for a lunch at one of the boat-up restaurants. Dave wasn't tearing around the lakes like a maniac. He cruised at a relaxing speed and stopped for wildlife and story telling. If you want maniac boating, he has a ski school and could probably arrange a speedy outing. Was a perfect day on the water.

This was a low-key, pleasant day on the water. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed motoring around the lakes and hearing its history and what is happening now.

We went on a 5pm tour and it was just our family! Randy was our boat captain! He offered us waters and we had a little one with us and even put the shade up for us. He told us about the lakes, and the history of the area. We saw some beautiful birds!

Great experience! Captain Dave was very knowledgeable and gave great local history during tour. Definitely recommend this trip.

Captain Dave was accommodating and knowledgeable ! We ate lunch at a local restaurant and saw lots of interesting sights. Highly recommend!

Captain Dave the best! Has great sense humor made it even better. Wife Michelle so awesome. It was myself and 2 sons w/ girlfriends and husband and was really best. We will see Dave again! Thank u!

It was terrible. I would not recommend this tour. I was not impressed with the captain of the boat. I did not like his attitude.

Captain Sam did a great job creating a fun and educational experience for my friends and me. We danced and enjoyed some music, and we learned a lot about the ecology of the Central Florida landscape and its history. I highly recommend this super fun and friendly tour! Thank you Captain Sam!!

This experience did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to secure a booking at 10am on Monday 3/6 and ended up being the only passengers aboard. We chose the perfect day to get out on the chain of lakes. Captain Dave was the best guide. Very talented and knowledgeable individual. He has a keen eye for camouflaged birds and low lying alligators. He allowed us to listen to our own music and even put us on to some new tunes that matched our interests. We had an opportunity to eat with him and his girlfriend at Twisted Prop Bar and Grille. His recommendation for The Philly Cheesesteak was the right move. We ended up back at the departure sight at 2PM on the dot. His time management and passion for customer service is top tier. We will definitely be back with a group in the near future.

Dave and Michelle gave us a wonderful tour of the lakes , we had a great time! Highly recommend, a fun time.

Our lake tour was fabulous! Sam did a great job showing us the lakes, canals, parts of the former Cypress Gardens, and beautiful homes. Very relaxing with lots of laughs!

A fun experience!! Me and my family saw many birds, beautiful trees and even an otter! It was an amazing experience that shows the natural beauty of Florida. It was pretty hot, but it was a good thing we had a shade on the boat. We also stopped for lunch at The Twisted Prop and tried gator bites. Thank you Captain Dave for this boat ride 🤗🤗!!

What a great day on the water, Weather couldn't have been better and we saw a bunch of wildlife, even an alligator pouncing on it's prey. Highly recomend this tour and we had a great stop for lunch at the Twisted Prop.

Captain Dave is the man! Great fun and we all had a blast (group of 4 pals). Would highly recommend this if you’re in the area

Best part of Winter Haven is the Chain of Lakes. And the best way to see the chain is the Pontoon Lake Tour with Dave Brisco. Lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. The boat is very comfortable. I lucked out with the weather which was overcast. But the water was smooth as glass and it wasn’t too hot. Even if the sun is out you can sit under the awning to get out of the sun. Dave also runs a Lake Pub crawl which I’m sure is fun too.
