THE BOAT

A welded 17‑foot Crestliner

An all‑aluminum hull that combines light weight with durability, the Crestliner offers comfortable seating and nimble handling for small parties out on the river.

GEAR & STORAGE

Livewell, rod and shotgun storage, optional trolling motor

Designed for anglers and hunters, the boat includes a livewell and ample storage for fishing rods and shotguns; a trolling motor can be provided on request to suit your tactics.

THE DAY

8‑hour Lower Detroit River rental

Block out a full day: the standard rental period is eight hours, with capacity for up to four people and fuel included to keep the focus on fishing and hunting rather than logistics.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You spend most of the eight‑hour rental moving across the lower Detroit River in a compact, stable package — launching, locating fish or hunting zones, deploying the trolling motor when needed, and stowing gear in purpose‑built racks and compartments. The boat’s livewell keeps a catch in prime condition while the hatch and rod storage keep the deck uncluttered for casting or setting up a blind.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this boat rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small angling partiesWith seating and storage for up to four people, this rental is ideal for a compact group focused on fishing together.
2
Hunting duos or triosThe Crestliner’s shotgun storage and deck layout make it suitable for small hunting parties that fit within the four‑person capacity.
3
Solo anglersA single angler will find the boat nimble and easy to handle, though the named renter must meet the age requirement.
4
Groups larger than fourNot recommended: the boat’s maximum capacity is four people, so larger groups will need to split into multiple rentals or choose a larger vessel.
