Thanks to Miami Nautique, we have a new 2023 Ski Nautique boat at Hobe Lake!
It’s a beauty with a 6.2L engine and baby blue exterior. We love it and are excited to provide our Members with the best possible skiing experience, which includes the best quality boat. Be sure to check out our Instagram page for more new boat videos!
Eight kids attended our latest summer camp on July 6th. We had four first-time skiers and one first time-slalom skier! Thank you to Nick Adams for the stellar coaching and to our on-land volunteers for making our summer camps a success.
With one more summer camp scheduled, stay tuned for more kids’ events in the future.

When and where did you learn how to ski?
My dad taught me to snow ski at 3 years old and waterski at 5 years old. We always had a boat and would go out every weekend in the summer.
What is your favorite waterski memory?
There are so many great memories since I’ve been in the sport for 40 years now. It could be winning my first Nationals or European Championships, but I would say the training sessions with my dad and friends in Belgium bring back great memories.
What do you love most about the sport?
My love for the sport has evolved over the years. I love the feeling of gliding over the water, cranking a big turn and accelerating, but I also love the camaraderie and friendships that develop as a result of spending quality time together at the lake.
