There’s no fixed itinerary—renters tow the pontoon to their chosen launch and cruise the river at will. Typical phases of a day include:
Trailer to Launch
The pontoon is trailered to the launch site of your choice and put in the water from there.
Leisure Cruise
Once afloat, the boat is used for relaxed cruising along the river, suitable for sightseeing and downtime with your group.
Anchor and Pause
Groups commonly stop to swim, picnic, or simply linger while anchored in a quiet bend before returning to the launch.
