THE BOAT

Spacious 14-passenger pontoon

A 22' Harris pontoon rated for up to fourteen people and powered by a 90 HP outboard makes for an easy, sociable platform for a family day — designed for cruising, swimming stops and fishing with onboard safety equipment supplied.

THE PACE

Flexible rental lengths

Rentals are offered in short segments to suit a half-day or full-day outing, allowing groups to choose a two-hour, four-hour or eight-hour rhythm on the water.

THE FAMILY FOCUS

Built for shared time on the lake

The setup emphasizes family-friendly lake time — cruising together, anchoring to swim, or casting lines — with lifejackets and safety gear included so the group can focus on the day rather than equipment.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You’ll load aboard a roomy pontoon, depart under your own pilotage and spend the booked segment cruising Lake Wallenpaupack’s wide water, stopping to swim or fish as the group decides; the boat arrives with fuel and safety gear so the day begins ready.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Active FamiliesWell suited: groups wanting a relaxed day of swimming, cruising and family time on the lake with space for fourteen and lifejackets supplied.
2
Experienced BoatersIdeal: renters must be 25 or older and have motorized boating experience — drivers are responsible for damage and must know how to dock the boat.
3
Groups CelebratingCaution: while the boat holds large groups, drivers must not be impaired — state and Coastguard rules prohibit alcohol consumption by the driver and the operator will not rent to those who appear intoxicated.
4
Pet Owners & Adventurers with GearNot ideal: pets are not allowed and stoves/grills are prohibited on pontoon boats, so plan gear and meals accordingly.
