Stand up Paddleboard, also known as SUP, is taking SoCal by storm, and Captain John’s is your place to try this fun and challenging workout. SUP is great for all ages and is easy to learn. Try a PaddleFit class or take a lesson to get yourself familiar with one out on the water while you enjoy Big Bear Lake.

Wakeboard at Captain John’s
Wakeboarding, Waterskiing and Tubing is fun for the whole family! Captain John’s Marina’s experienced captain has over 20 years of experience as an instructor, so you are sure to have fun while being in good hands. Get your adrenaline going out on Big Bear Lake.
Wake up early from your Big Bear Lake vacation rental and grab your fishing pole! Fishing charters are a fun way to get to see the lake while you catch dinner. You will be personally shown around Big Bear Lake while you learn a few tricks, cast your line and wait for the fish to bite. Not a bad way to spend a day, or two!
Kayak and Canoe rentals are fun and are best enjoyed in the morning when lake traffic is low. Experience Big Bear Lake from a duck’s point of view while you glide through the clear water in a quiet, peaceful setting along the shore. Then head back to your cabin rental or have lunch in Big Bear Village.
Lake Cruises and Tours are the best way to relax out on the water. Let your captain be your guide while you sit back and enjoy the sunset, chat with family and friends or celebrate your nuptials with a wedding cruise. Fun and romance is in the mountain air when you head out on Big Bear Lake. Try an Eco-Friendly Lake Tour for a fun way to respect all that nature has provided with the Big Bear Lake Discovery Center.
