Boat types for every crew size
The operator fields several options: 18-foot Hurricane 185 deck boats (capacity 7) and 21-foot Hurricane 205 deck boats (capacity 9) for smaller, tow-capable groups; 2086 CX pontoons (capacity 10) for an easy, no-watersports cruise; and a 23-foot 2286 SBX pontoon (capacity 12) that combines cruising comfort with tow capability.
A day to cruise Cherry Creek at your own pace
Full-day rentals let you take the boat out for extended, leisurely laps around the reservoir—there’s no fixed route; you and your party set the agenda for cruising, swimming or picnicking from the boat.
Towable options for wakeboarding, skiing or tubing
Several boats in the fleet are compatible with wakeboards, waterskis and tubes; if you want to add towable gear it’s available as an add-on so you can maximize active time on the water.
