For just $350, you and five of your favorite people can spend two hours swimming and two hours tubing in one of Kentucky's prettiest spots. It's perfect for families, friend groups, or anyone looking to make a splash this summer. Safety's our top priority, but don't worry – we know how to keep things exciting for water lovers of all ages.
Picture this: you're out on Nolin Lake, the sun's shining, and you've got four solid hours of water fun ahead. We kick things off with some good old-fashioned swimming. Dive off the boat, practice your cannonballs, or just float around and soak up the scenery. Then, when you're ready for an adrenaline boost, we'll break out the tubes. Hold on tight as Captain Chris takes you for a ride – it's a rush that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Whether you're a first-timer or a tubing pro, we'll make sure you have a blast.
Captain Chris isn't just any old boat captain – he's the guy who'll make sure your day on Nolin Lake is one for the books. He's got a knack for reading the water and knowing just how to give each group the perfect mix of chill time and thrills. For the tubing part of your adventure, Chris will hook you up with top-notch equipment and show you the ropes (literally). He'll start nice and easy for the newbies, and can crank things up a notch for those looking for more excitement. Safety's always the priority, but fun is a close second in Captain Chris's book.
"Highlight of our Summer Vacation! Miles checked off Tubing and loved it! This is our 2nd year with Captain Chris. He is so patient, and the boys absolutely love him. Don't just think about booking, Do It!!" - deborah
"We recently enjoyed a Low Key Water Sports Package In Nolin Lake hosted by Boating Adventures With Captain Chris! I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to dive into a world of aquatic excitement. Captain Chris was so patient and kind, and our boys had an absolute ball as you can see from the video posted. A 10+ rating for anyone of all ages and we can't wait for our next Adventure. The boys said this was the highlight of their summer vacation in Kentucky. It was their first time tubing and now they feel like they are Pros! Watching our Miles take his first leap from the boat to the water was a highlight! High Fives all Around Captain Chris!!" - DEBORAH
Nolin Lake isn't just any old swimming hole – it's a 5,795-acre playground surrounded by some of Kentucky's prettiest scenery. The water's clean and clear, perfect for swimming, and the lake's got plenty of open stretches that are ideal for tubing. You might spot some local wildlife while you're out there – keep an eye out for ospreys diving for fish or turtles sunning themselves on logs. The lake's also known for its excellent fishing, so if you're feeling inspired after your water sports package, you might want to come back and try your luck with a rod and reel.
Nolin Lake's got some sweet spots for both swimming and tubing. For the swimming portion of your day, Captain Chris knows all the best coves where the water's calm and you can really enjoy a leisurely dip. There are even some areas with small cliffs if you're feeling brave enough for a jump (always under Captain Chris's watchful eye, of course). When it comes to tubing, we've got routes for every thrill level. Beginners might start in some of the lake's quieter areas, while those looking for more excitement can hit the open water where the wakes get a bit wilder. Don't worry if you've never been tubing before – Captain Chris will make sure you're comfortable before cranking up the speed.
One of the best things about this package? You don't need to bring much. Captain Chris has got all the essential gear covered – top-quality tubes, tow ropes, and life jackets for everyone. But there are a few things you'll want to pack to make your day even better. Bring along plenty of sunscreen (the sun can be pretty fierce out on the water), a hat, and sunglasses to keep the glare at bay. Don't forget your swimsuit and a towel, and maybe pack a change of clothes for after. If you've got little ones, consider bringing some pool noodles or floaties for the swimming portion. Oh, and don't forget to bring that printed waiver – it's your ticket to all the fun!
Nolin Lake is a summer hotspot, but there's really no bad time to get out on the water between May and September. If you're after the warmest water for swimming, aim for July or August when the lake's had plenty of time to heat up. Early mornings can be magical – the lake's usually like glass, perfect for both swimming and smooth tubing rides. Weekdays tend to be quieter if you're looking to avoid the crowds, but weekends have their own festive vibe with more boats out and about. And if you can swing a sunset session? There's nothing like watching the sky turn pink and orange from the middle of the lake.
This isn't just about swimming and tubing – it's about creating those summer memories that'll stick with you long after you've dried off. It's about the laughs when someone face-plants off the tube, or the quiet moment when you're floating on your back, staring up at the blue Kentucky sky. It's about watching your kids conquer their fears and try tubing for the first time, or seeing your usually serious friend let loose and act like a kid again. Captain Chris has seen it all – from family reunions to bachelor parties to just a group of friends playing hooky from work for a day. No matter who you bring along, you're in for a day that'll have you smiling every time you think back on it.
So, what are you waiting for? Summer's not going to last forever, and neither are these open spots on Captain Chris's calendar. For $350, you're getting four hours of pure fun on one of Kentucky's best lakes, with all the equipment you need and an experienced captain to show you the ropes. Whether you're a local looking for a staycation adventure or a visitor wanting to experience the best of Kentucky's outdoors, this package is a no-brainer. Give Captain Chris a call, round up your crew, and get ready for a day of splashing, laughing, and making memories on Nolin Lake. Just don't forget that waiver – and maybe bring a waterproof camera. Trust us, you're going to want to capture this.
