A Trifecta pontoon transforms a reservoir outing into a small, mobile gathering place: comfortable seating and built-in storage let groups lounge, dine, and nap in the sun, while a 150-horsepower motor gives the craft ample power for easy cruising. The boat’s 13-person capacity (comfortably seating about ten adults) and room for food and beverages make it a practical choice for half-day excursions launched from Heber City.

THE ROUTE

Slow cruise and scenic shoreline views

The natural rhythm of this rental is a relaxed cruise around the reservoir — short runs between coves and the option to drop anchor for longer swims or sun-drenched lounging.

THE GATHERING

A floating platform for picnics and sunbathing

With abundant seating and storage for food and beverages, the pontoon functions as a private island for dining, relaxing, and socializing on the water.

THE ADD‑ON

Stage jet skis alongside for bursts of speed

If you want speed between lounging sessions, you can enhance the pontoon rental by adding one or more jet skis and staging them alongside the boat rather than returning to shore.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

The day unfolds with a simple loop: launch from Heber City, settle into the pontoon’s cushioned seating, cruise the reservoir at a relaxed pace, and pick a quiet spot to anchor for swimming, sunbathing, or a picnic. The boat’s layout and storage encourage lingering on the water; when the mood shifts toward adrenaline, jet skis can be added and staged alongside for short bursts of speed.
