See big skies, beautiful water, and hundreds of birds aboard a 40' pontoon boat!  Come enjoy a peaceful cruise on the abundant waters of Percy Priest Lake, just 27 minutes southeast of Nashville. Travel on I-24 to the Smyrna exit (Sam Ridley Parkway), then drive to Fate Sanders Marina & Restaurant.  Several different cruises are available, from 45 minutes to 3 hours. Most popular are the 90-minute Nature Cruise (brief narration) and 2 hr. Sunset Cruise (relaxing music). Families, seniors groups, and church groups frequently reserve all the seats for a Private Cruise.  Our Kids Adventure Cruise is a fun option for a birthday party or family and friends; we take you to an island beach and provide lots of water toys, including pool noodles and kayaks.  Fall Foliage Cruises are awesome, with spectacular migrating birds providing the entertainment.  Celebrate a birthday, family reunion or anniversary with outdoor fun all ages will enjoy! Visit www.blueheroncruises.com for full information and directions. RESERVATIONS ARE A MUST, and sometimes last-minute seats are available. Please call 615-385-7007.
