Outing Highlights
200 HP Thrill with Room to Spare
The Tritoon’s 200 HP engine delivers the kind of acceleration and load capacity you want for a day with family or friends—the platform is built for comfort, towing a tube or getting you quickly to favorite nearby anchorages.
USCG-Approved Safety Gear Onboard
Each rental includes USCG-approved personal flotation devices for adults and children, a throwable Type IV cushion, first-aid supplies, visual distress signals, mounted fire extinguishers and sound-producing devices—everything required to keep an outing compliant and prepared.
Flexible Delivery and Captain Options
Choose no-cost drop-off at Laishley Park Boat Ramp or arrange private home delivery for multi-day rentals; boats are provided without a captain, but you may hire an independent USCG-licensed captain from a recommended list.

The Tritoon’s open layout and bimini top keep the group comfortable while a fishfinder and swim ladder give the boat practical versatility—whether you’re anchoring for a swim or running a half-day loop along the coast.
