Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A compact deck boat built for social days

The 18ft Fourwinns 4.3L Volvo Penta is a roomy deck boat with seating for seven and a half‑covered layout that keeps some space shaded while leaving the rest open to the sun.

THE SETTING

Open water and shoreline views on Lake Cayuga

This rental is designed for cruising the length and breadth of Lake Cayuga—relaxed passages, lakeside stops and long vistas that suit a slow, social rhythm.

THE EASY DAY

Pack sunscreen, snacks and bring the dog

The operator invites well‑trained pets aboard, recommends sunscreen and towels, and positions the boat as a simple platform for days of lounging, swimming and snacking.

What the day feels like

What the five‑day rental feels like

The rental’s five‑day window delivers a low‑pressure way to own several days on the water: leave in the morning, set a loose itinerary of cruising and shore stops, and return on the final day by the scheduled hour. The boat’s half Bimini lets groups shift between sun and shade while the open layout keeps conversation and swims simple.
