Why cruise with Playin Hooky

Playin Hooky Water Taxi & Charters LLC was established in 2011 with a passion to make the lake safe and more accessible at a reasonable price. Being the first water taxi on Lake of the Ozarks was the first step in this vision. Although a water taxi was not a new idea in other parts of the country, it was a new idea for the lake.

We communicate frequently with the USCG (United States Coast Guard) to stay abreast of any requirements or changes in the maritime industry. Our boats are COI (Certificate of Inspection) vessels and are inspected yearly by the USCG to make sure that we are the safest operation on the lake. Our Captains are United States Coast Guard Licensed and strive to provide you a fun and safe experience on this beautiful lake.

When you book with Playin Hooky we know that in most cases it is a big event that you have been looking forward to and will remember for years to come. One of the coolest things about our business is being a part of a special event in someone’s life. Several times over we have heard from people that were on our boat for either their bachelor/bachelorette party or some other event, that being on our boat was the highlight of their trip. We appreciate you letting us be a part of that event and will do our best to make your day on the lake a great one!
