Captain G, Owner and Captain of Yolo Lake Conroe, spent over a decade in the U.S. Coast Guard as a certified Boat Coxswain, conducting safety inspections and search and rescue operations. As a lifelong boater and boat owner, Captain G also owns Captain-Led Boat Rental services. Through years of boating experience, one big thing Captain G has learned: the key to a great day on the water is planning and preparation.  The confidence that you know your boat, your gear, and are ready to manage all the scenarios that can arise while on the water comes with time on the water, expert guidance and local knowledge. 

Yolo Lake Conroe’s Outfitting and Operations Day offers new boat owners practical guidance in outfitting, orientation, safe driving, and essential boating safety. Captain G provides private instruction covering boat handling, equipment requirements, and tips for a safe outing, including maintaining compliance and resources for unexpected issues.

The “WHY” behind Captain G’s Outfitting and Operating Training?  To help the new boat owner feel comfortable, prepared, and excited every time they take their boat out on Lake Conroe.
