Highlights
Outing Highlights
Compact power for close‑to‑shore cruising
The B-7 is a 2017, 20‑foot SilverWave powered by a 90‑hp engine and rated to seat up to 10 people — a configuration that balances passenger capacity with manageable handling for bay and inshore work.
Ready for a day of fishing or relaxed cruising
Onboard conveniences include GPS and a Bluetooth radio, three bench seats under a Bimini top, a live well and three rod holders — features that make the boat equally useful for anglers and small groups seeking a sheltered bay cruise.
Flexible rental lengths with strict operational rules
Rentals run from single days to weekly terms, but come with firm safety and operating rules — including driver qualification requirements, no‑wake rules, bridge restrictions, a late‑return fee structure, and bans on grilling and towing.
