Our History |
Capt. Mel and Wanda have conducted Scuba Diving and Boat Charters on Lake Champlain and the various other lakes abovementioned for the past 20yrs. Together we have owned no less than 6 boats and provided dive charters to over 2500 scuba divers during this timeframe without incident. Utopia II is the largest boat we've owned and is a very deluxe express cruiser. To ensure a top quality experience, we limit the number of passengers to 6 per Tour. Therefore you will not feel like a number lost in the crowd and will even be invited to sit alongside the "Captain" while underway if you wish.
