Bring the whole crew — and the dog

With seating for as many as 14 people and an explicit dog-friendly policy, the boat is aimed at family gatherings, larger friend groups, or mixed-age outings.

THE PRACTICALS

Short windows, simple provisioning

Rentals run for 2 or 4 hours; the launch is at 219 N. Union St., Douglas, MI, and you may bring your own cooler and adult beverages (there is no ice, food, or beverages for purchase at that location).
