On Lake Geneva the Bennington 25ft Tritoon presents a low‑key, social way to spend an afternoon: a three‑pontoon deckboat built for stability and comfort, outfitted with a 115 H.P. four‑stroke outboard, stereo, and a custom tow bar for tubing. The boat is offered in 3‑ or 4‑hour blocks through Marina Bay Boat Rentals and is aimed at groups who want a relaxed day on the water without the demands of high‑speed wake sports.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Roomy, stable tritoon built for groups

The Bennington 25ft Tritoon uses a third pontoon to increase stability and deck space, with a 115 H.P. four‑stroke outboard and seating for up to ten people (total weight capacity cannot exceed 1,560 lbs). It’s designed for relaxed social cruising and entertaining on the lake.

ENTERTAINMENT

Stereo and a tow bar for tubing

Onboard amenities include an AM/FM CD player stereo and a custom tow bar specifically for tubing, making the boat well suited for group leisure and tow‑based play rather than high‑impact wake sports.

THE RULES

Operator policies shape the day

Marina Bay Boat Rentals enforces a set of operational limits — no anchors, grilling, skiing or wakeboarding, no docking or pulling up to other piers, and renters must stay 200 feet from other boats. The operator may refuse service or add and charge a captain at their discretion.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

The flow is straightforward: check in, board the Bennington, and spend a measured 3‑ or 4‑hour block making laps and stops on Lake Geneva — music on, tube ready if you brought one, with the emphasis on comfortable, stable cruising rather than aggressive wake sports or beachside grilling.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this boat matches — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Large groupsA good match for groups up to ten seeking a social, stable platform for an afternoon on the water, provided the total group weight stays within the 1,560 lb limit.
2
Families with teensSuitable for families that want tubing and relaxed cruising rather than high‑speed watersports; ensure drivers meet the age and experience requirements.
3
Novice rentersNot ideal for completely inexperienced operators: all drivers must have boating experience, and Marina Bay reserves the right to require a captain.
4
Thrill‑seekers/wake sport fansA poor fit for those seeking skiing or wakeboarding — those activities are prohibited. Tubing is supported via the custom tow bar.
