Ian Gillespie

I’ve been boating at Lake of the Ozarks for over 15 years and hold a 25-ton Master Captain license. With a lifetime of experience operating sail boats, to power boats, I know this lake inside and out and love nothing more than sharing the best spots, smoothest rides, and most exciting experiences with my guests. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing tour, or an epic bar-hopping adventure, I’m here to make sure your day on the water is nothing short of amazing. I’ve had the privilege of captaining countless unforgettable trips, from bachelor and bachelorette parties to family outings and celebrations of all kinds.
