Take the Celebrity Tour!

By Mike Germond

We often get asked, “what is there to do on the lakes“? Besides the endless natural beauty, great Bass Fishing, and crystal clear spring fed waters, many Celebrities and Athletes also call the Butler Chain of Lakes home! Between swimming, fishing, or tubing, take your own Private self guided Celebrity Tour!

A laminated copy of this map is available on all our boats..

Can we visit Bird Island?

By Mike Germond

YES! A 10-acre plot of uninhabited land in the middle of Lake Butler was formerly known as Egret Island, designated as a bird sanctuary in 1958. It sits about 200 yards away from the shores of Downtown Windermere’s Fernwood Park, which has a boat ramp but limits parking to town residents only. However, it has become a bit of a party haven in recent years. Although trespassing is prohibited on the island, the shallow sandy bottom and warm waters around it invite anchored boats to raft off the shoreline. Any Butler Lake Tours customers who choose to attend must obey all posted signs and take all trash with them. It is heavily patrolled by law enforcement, but a safe rule of thumb is “ankles in the water”!

Are we responsible for cleaning the boat when we are done?

By Mike Germond

Yes. There is a broom and rags/cleaner on each boat. Please clean and prepare all trash to discard before return to the Boat Ramp. If you leave food, crumbs, etc on the boat the birds will destroy the boat over night. Also, if you leave the boat dirty, you will be charged a cleaning fee. Our dock assistants will be ready to receive and park a clean boat.

Can we return the boat early?

By Mike Germond

Yes, since this is your private tour, the boat and the Captain is yours for the day! You may tell them when you would like to head back to the dock (within the confines of your purchased time slot). No refunds are given for returning early.

Is the dock wheelchair accessible?

By Mike Germond

Yes, State Operated boat ramps are wheelchair accessible. There is a safety lip and bit of a gap between the dock and the pontoon deck. However, the pontoon deck sits level in the water with the dock. So its just a matter of getting the chair over the gap and onto the boat.
