Captain Ty's Lit Up Tour

It's dark.  It's chilly.  The fire is lit.  Floating in the middle of Lake Murray.

We go out after dark, drop an anchor in the middle of the lake, light a fire, and just...sit.

No rushing.  No tour script.  Picture it - 2 hours with friends, floating, and flame, while the lights of Lake Murray

twinkle all around.

Captain Ty's Lit Tour is the coziest night on the water.

​

We head out as the sun goes down, find a calm spot in the middle of the lake, and settle in around our Floating Flame fire table.

​

You get the cool of the evening, warmth of the fire, good snacks, and good people.

​

Bring your best friends.  Bring your date.  Bring your dog.  This is the one you'll be talking about all winter.

It's not a "tour"  It's a vibe.

PERFECT FOR

  • Date night that isn't dinner and a movie again

  • Girls night / Guys night

  • Birthdays and Celebrations

  • Visiting family (or in-laws) you want to impress

  • Anyone who just needs to slow down for a night

HOW OUR LAKE MURRAY FIRE TOUR WORKS:

​

1. Pack your snacks and beverages

​​​Bring anything you might want to munch on or drink.  Hot chocolate to the hard stuff.

​

2. Meet at Jakes Landing

​​​Your Captain will meet you at the dock.  After a safety briefing, we're off.

​

3. Sunset cruise out

​​​Enjoy a short cruise as the last light fades.

​​

4. Drop and anchor.  Light the fire

​​​We light the Floating Flame, and you settle in. 2 hours in the evening chill.

​​

5. Float. Talk. Laugh.

It is your vibe.  Enjoy it.

The Safety Part

The Fire Part: We use the Floating Flame, which is designed for boats, creating a safe, and warm environment. 

Safety: The fire is operated and supervised by the Captain on the boat

Guests: The design of the flame puts heat up, and not to the side - guests sit around the fire, and it is cool until they want to be warm.

Weather: In the event of bad weather - rain or wind, the Captain will cancel or reschedule the charter. 

Price: $325 for up to 6 people, which includes the boat, Captain, fuel, and flame.

Do I bring my own food and beverages?
 

Is the fire pit safe?

What about the weather?

Yes! Bring whatever you want to eat and drink.

A bag of chips? Perfect. A full charcuterie board? Even better. A whole pizza? Now you're speaking our language.

Captain Ty's Lit Tour includes the boat, Captain, fuel, and flame — you bring the snacks and drinks. That includes adult beverages, too. Bring your favorite wine, beer, seltzer, or whatever makes your night better, and we'll keep it cold while you float around the fire.

Pro tip: bring the good snacks. You're going to be sitting around a fire in the middle of Lake Murray for 2 hours. You're gonna get hungry.

Yes — and that's the whole point.

This isn't a campfire we dragged onto a boat. It's a Floating Flame, and it was specifically designed to be on a boat.

It runs on propane, it's operated and supervised by your Captain the whole time, and it stays cool all around it. The heat goes up, not out to the sides — so you can sit right around it, get cozy when you want to be warm, and scoot back when you want that cool Lake Murray night air.

​

We don't mess around with weather — and you won't get stuck paying for a tour we cancel.

We do not go out in heavy rain, or when there is lightning within 15 miles of the boat. No exceptions.

If it's heavy wind, your Captain will make the call. He knows Lake Murray, he knows the boat, and he knows when it's cozy vs. when it's just not fun anymore.

If the Captain changes it because of weather, there is no fee to reschedule. We'll find you another night, same fire, same vibe, better sky.
