Private Charter
Booking process and Maritime regulation
Betty Boop operates as a bare boat charter. This means you as the charterer (renter) possess ownership of the vessel during your rental period. Additionally, you may bring up to 12 other passengers (your group, your people). Once booking confirmation is completed for boat rental, you will then receive a second invoice to hire a captain in your email. (Betty Boop cannot be rented without a captain per commercial insurance. Betty Boop is to large of a vessel to be rented out without trained personnel).
This process does seem lengthy, but Soul Waters LLC operates within laws per Maritime regulation to ensure optimum safety. Reminder, there is a quick book option available for 6 people including yourself or less in the “book now” schedular.
Rest assured in regards to safety knowing the captain is a trained United States Coast Guard Licensed captain with an endorsed Missouri PWC certificate backed with commercial passenger vessel insurance.
Betty Boop is a 1977 Chris-Craft Catalina 35 foot double cabin. Built for spacious displacement, not speed. She currently hosts both tours, and private charters.

Betty Boop 2025 schedule
Betty Boop works as both cruise boat and charter. Currently if you are reading this, you are interested in doing a private charter. Reach out and double check via email or phone before purchasing so the manager can make sure Betty Boop is available. Here’s the cool thing, if no one has signed up for cruise on the day you’re looking at, then you can actually be booked even though is shows cruise scheduled!
If you read “Busy” on the day your looking at, its most likely because Betty Boop is scheduled to run cruise. Jump over to the cruise side to see if this is the case. If seats still show 6 available, its most likely that day is still available. Paying in full will omit (override) anyone from booking your time slot.
