Three ways to get on the water

Connecticut Water Sports runs captained watersports charters on Lake Lillinonah in New Milford. One boat, one captain, and everything you need to ski, surf, or tube — whichever mix your group wants. No experience required, no gear to bring, no boat to launch. Show up, step on, and we handle the rest.

Pick your ride

Waterskiing

Single ski, double skis, or slalom. Our captains coach first-timers through the deep-water start and pull clean sets for experienced skiers.

Beginner to advanced

Wakesurfing

Drop the rope and ride an endless wake. Best for older kids and adults — our captains shape a clean surf wave and dial in the speed.

Beginner to advanced

Tubing

The crowd-pleaser. Gentle spins for the kids, faster runs for the brave. Always a hit with families and groups — no skill required.

All ages

How a charter works

  1. Book your hour

    Reserve online or call us. Boat time is booked by the hour — most groups do 1–2 hours for a watersports session.

  2. Show up at the dock

    Park at 143 West St, New Milford. Step on the boat — the captain and gear are already set up and ready.

  3. Tell us what you want

    Ski first, then tube? Wakesurf the whole time? Just want the kids to tube while you ride along? We build the hour around your group.

  4. Get on the water

    Captain handles driving, fuel, and timing. You handle having fun — we'll coach anyone who's new to skiing or surfing.

First time? Don't sweat it.

Most guests who come out haven't skied or surfed in years — or ever. Our captains are instructors first. We'll walk you through getting up, holding the handle, finding your stance, and reading the wake. If you don't get up the first try, that's normal. We'll keep at it until you do.

Tubing needs zero instruction — just hold on and let the captain know if you want gentle or wild. It's the easiest on-ramp to a day on the water, and the most popular pick for families with mixed ages.
