Deckboat Outing — Slow-Held Cruises, Tubing Runs and Lakeside Picnics out of Stockton.
A deckboat blends pontoon comfort with power-boat capability, offering a social, relaxed way to spend a day on calm water: hang out around a central table, swim, tube or picnic as you slowly motor the lake or briefly power up for excitement. The operator encourages inland-lake outings as the safer default, using Lake Superior only on days with no wind or waves.
