About Catboat Escapes

Catboat Escapes, Inc. offers visitors the chance to captain their own two-person power boat across the Clermont Chain of Lakes. After a practice session at Cypress Cove Marina, guests pilot a sporty Proglider boat at speeds of 30 miles per hour or faster while a guide in a separate boat leads the tour and provides narration over radios. The tour explores thirteen connected lakes including Lake Louisa, Lake Minnehaha, and Lake Minneola, navigating hidden canals and rivers through pristine waterways. Visitors encounter native Florida scenery and jungle-like ecosystems while learning about the area's natural environment. The tour lasts two hours and accommodates two passengers per boat. Drivers must be 18 years or older. Day time and seasonal sunset tours are available. The company sells admission online and operates from Clermont, Florida, in the heart of Central Florida's lake region.
