Kickstart Your Weekend with a Playin Hooky Lake of the Ozarks Cruise

When’s the last time you played hooky? If you’ve been on your best behavior, then it’s about time you reward yourself with a day out on the water. Playin Hooky invites you to try a Lake of the Ozarks cruise. For over a decade, we’ve been the number one charter service in the area.

As the original water taxi service in Lake of the Ozarks, we know more than a thing or two about having a good time. So, come aboard one of our Lake of the Ozarks cruise departures and make memories in the Midwest’s premier lake resort destination.

Try Cruising Under the Sun

Who said a little playing hooky was a bad thing? At Playin Hooky, we believe that one of the best ways to spend the afternoon is pub crawling around the lake. Our famous daytime bar hop cruises are second to none. Running on Fridays and Saturdays (and the occasional Sunday holiday), we host unique cruises guaranteed to jumpstart your weekend.

Both of our cruises launch at 12 PM and return just before supper. Your options are our Lake Ozark Fun Cruise or the West Side Bar Hop Cruise.

Which is the best Lake of the Ozarks cruise for you?

• Lake Ozark Fun Cruise: We rock and roll from the Lazy Gators dock, then usually hop on over to Boathouse Lakeside Bar & Grill for a bite to eat. Then we hit the high seas and plunder the pub at Jolly Rogers. Finally, we cruise over to Coconuts for a few drinks by the pool. Then, the fun continues on the cruise back to Lazy Gators.
• West Side Bar Hop Cruise: We kick this party off at the Big Kahuna’s before heading straight to Backwater Jack’s for a poolside party. After a few drinks, we’ll crank the tunes back and dance our way to Lake House 13. Refuel with great food (and a beverage or two), then come back to the boat so we can pay a visit to Franky & Louie’s Beachfront Bar & Grill. Finally, we sail you back over to Big Kahuna’s, where you can continue the fun on land.

… or Try a Lake of the Ozarks Cruise Under the Moon

If you thought our daytime bar hop cruises were fun, wait until you see how much more we pump up the party when the sun goes down. Our Howl at the Moon Bar Hop Cruise offers fantastic nighttime views of the lake that are unforgettable. Perfect for weekend parties or just a comfortable night out, this moonlit cruise begins at H-Toad’s Cove at 7 PM sharp.

Usually, we will hit Franky & Louie’s and the Tap & Grill Lakeside Brew Haus before returning to H-Toad’s. On some weekends, we’ll run a second Howl at the Moon Lake of the Ozarks cruise at 8 PM, this time starting and ending at Lazy Gators. The Howl at the Moon cruise is one of our most popular and sells out frequently. Be sure to check our schedule before you visit.
