Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Spacious, comfortable 22' Bennington

The flagship pontoon seats up to 10 passengers (1760 lb weight limit), with expansive plush couches, a large helm seat and generous storage that make a day on the water easy to relax into.

THE POWER

Reliable 115 hp Yamaha motor

A 115 horsepower Yamaha outboard provides more than enough thrust for lake cruising—so you can move confidently between coves, channels and fishing spots across the Harris Chain.

THE DAY

Half- or full-day options for every plan

Rentals are offered as a half day (4 hours) or a full day (8 hours), giving you flexibility to build a short excursion or a full-day loop for fishing, swimming and sightseeing beneath the pontoon's Bimini shade.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

The day unfolds simply: load coolers and towels, slip aboard the Bennington, and push off into open water. The boat’s layout favors conversation and lounging—skimming across Lake Harris with the Bimini up for shade, stopping where the water and light invite a swim or a cast, and drifting while the shoreline slides by.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active familiesWell suited: roomy seating and storage make it easy to bring children, towels and a cooler while staying within the 10-person/1760 lb limits.
2
Groups of friendsA solid match for small groups wanting a day of cruising, swimming and casual fishing, provided the group size and combined weight stay within limits.
3
Small celebrationsGood for intimate gatherings—birthday cruises or a relaxed outing—so long as total passengers and gear remain under the stated caps.
4
Large groups or heavy-equipment tripsNot ideal: the 10-passenger and 1760 lb weight limits make this pontoon unsuitable for very large parties or outings that require heavy equipment.
