Outing Highlights
Roomy, comfortable pontoons built for the day
Avalon pontoons are the operator’s most spacious boats for touring Flaming Gorge: wraparound seating with a retractable soft-top awning, a Bluetooth stereo and a swim ladder. They run on a 60 HP four-stroke outboard and carry safety gear aboard.
Cruising, fishing, and sightseeing in Flaming Gorge
The boats are ideal for leisurely cruising and sightseeing along Flaming Gorge and for fishing outings; expect top speeds that vary roughly from 15 to 22 mph depending on load and wind.
Day rentals made straightforward
These pontoons accommodate up to eight people and come stocked with lifejackets, a fire extinguisher, throwable flotation, an oar and other required safety items—everything needed for a full day on the water.
What the day feels like
How the day unfolds
You’ll take a full 9.5-hour day to put miles on the pontoon: launching, exploring open water and canyon edges, stopping to cast a line or climb down a swim ladder, then returning at day’s end. These boats are tuned to comfortable, social outings rather than high-performance water sports.
