History
In 2014, 'The Phoenix' was built by Finney Boat Works, in North Idaho. It was then shipped to it's current home on beautiful Lake Pleasant. The Phoenix' is 65' long, holds 149 passengers, and is built to U.S. Coast Guard standards for passengers vessels. The enclosed, climate-controlled main deck features seating for up to 100 guests. The top deck is open air, but shaded with a canopy and can also seat up to 100 guests. Lake Pleasant Cruises is operated by dynamic brother-sister duo, Matthew Finney and Katelyn Finney. They have brought their unique brand of cruising to Lake Pleasant. Katelyn and Matt's Father (Fred Finney), Mother (Diane Finney), and Grandmother (Sandy) also play crucial roles in the family business.
