2024 20' Harris pontoon — built for group days on the water
A ten-passenger 2024 Harris pontoon powered by a 90 HP engine is the centerpiece: roomy enough for family groups and stable for fishing or anchored swims; the operator supplies lifejackets, safety gear and a full tank of gas.
Cruising, fishing and swimming around Lake Wallenpaupack
The rental is aimed at leisurely days on the lake—cruising, angling from the pontoon and stopping to swim or picnic—letting groups shape their own itinerary on the water.
Ready-to-go rentals with on-site basics
Rentals include gas and essential safety equipment; onshore there are portable restrooms and operators note a strict set of policies on returns, cleanliness and prohibited activities to keep outings safe and insured.
What the day feels like
What a day on this rental feels like
You arrive, board a spacious ten-passenger pontoon and push off into Lake Wallenpaupack for a flexible day of cruising. The layout encourages social downtime—chairs clustered for conversation, space for coolers and fishing gear—and frequent stops for a swim or to drop an anchor and cast lines. Gas and lifejackets are provided so most of the prep is on provisioning food, sunscreen and drinks for the group.
