Modern, well‑maintained four‑stroke outboards
All pontoons are equipped with modern four‑stroke Yamaha and Suzuki outboards that the operator services consistently to minimize mechanical problems and provide reliable performance on a full‑day rental.
A full day afloat with clear check‑in and return times
Rentals are sold on a daily basis: check‑in is available any time after 8:00 a.m. and boats must be back by 5:30 p.m. Fuel and applicable taxes are additional charges; plan your day to fit the operator’s window.
Reservation, age and usage rules shape the outing

What the day feels like
How the day feels
