Madam Carroll: Reviews & Ratings
It was a great time music, dancing, and fun!! Also it was beautiful on the boat! I would absolutely go again.
Just walk around the boat. The owner was really nice
On the Bruce Barker " The Piano Man " cruise. Absolutely entertainment wall to wall!
Had a great night on Madam Carroll for the Freeman Fireworks Cruise on Saturday, July 6th. It was a great time and experience.
We always have a fantastic time on the Madam Caroll! As a band that plays a lot of different places and types of venues, THIS is the most unique & fun atmosphere! The staff is amazing and the views — even from the stage — are amazing! We’re based in Indianapolis (about a 90min drive) and this is one of the only places our fans will road trip to because they know it’ll be a blast!!
Helped to cater food for a private cruise. The staff is amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable about the boat. Great service all around! I had a great time there, and I was working! Looking forward to coming back to enjoy the experience as a guest!
A wonderful establishment with kind staff! I visited two different nights during a professional development conference and both nights the staff worked hard and treated all of us so well! I’d recommend this unique place to groups of all kinds! The drinks are fairly priced, the bathrooms clean and it is a very open space for large crowds.
I went on the cruise honoring our service veterans for the July 4th holiday with my dad, Korean war era vet. Very friendly and accommodating staff. My sisters and I were so happy to ride along. The really amazing part of this is that the Madam Carroll owners donated this cruise to the cause of honoring our vets, the staple of our country! The ride was very pleasant. Lake Freeman is beautiful. I have lived in the area all of my life and was amazed at the housing construction on the lake frontage. The boat hosts live bands on a regular basis and I highly recommend this for a night of entertainment.
