About Captain Jake

AHOY!

Growing up in Northwest Missouri, I spent a lot of my time outdoors, taking advantage of all the watersports the area had to offer. From fishing and boating to waterskiing, I have been an avid enthusiast of all water activities for years. In fact, my mother jokingly claims I was waterskiing before I was even born!

After graduating from Northwest Missouri State University, I embarked on an unforgettable three-summer adventure as a watersports instructor at Brant Lake in upstate New York, teaching kids of all ages (5-15) the joys of the water. It was an absolute blast!

Kansas City had a brief hold on me, but Branson stole my heart in April 2014. Now I am thrilled to offer the best Table Rock Lake experience. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun day on the water, a group of friends celebrating a special occasion, or a couple seeking a romantic evening, we have something for everyone.

And while my official title is Captain, I’m really a jack-of-all-trades – photographer, bartender, DJ, and even trashman (keeping our lakes pristine is a priority!). It’s all part of ensuring you have the best possible experience.

Branson agrees! We were honored to receive the Best of Branson 2023 Silver Award and 2024 – a testament to our commitment to creating unforgettable memories.

Thanks for considering Captain Jake’s Lake Adventures for your Branson adventure, see you on the water!
