Full-Day Lake Powell Run Aboard a 26' Robalo — Twin 200HP Yamahas, Room for 12

Race across Lake Powell on a sleek 26-foot Robalo and spend a full day skimming the glassy arms of Glen Canyon. Based out of Page, Arizona, this full-day charter launches from 486 Haul Rd, Page, AZ 86040 and offers a blend of cruising, fishing, and canyon exploration. The boat — a 2008 26' Robalo R265 Walkaround — is powered by twin 200 HP Yamaha outboards, delivering the speed and reliability to reach remote coves and cutoffs where emerald water meets 600-foot Navajo Sandstone cliffs.

Start your morning with engine hum and coffee as the Robalo carves a wake through wide open water, then thread tighter side canyons where the light picks out striated orange and white banding on the walls. Key features of the boat—deep-V hull for a stable ride, spacious deck, rod holders, and a large livewell—mean anglers can work a full tackle spread while cruisers relax in comfort. The vessel's walkaround layout also makes it easy to move forward for photo angles or to access sheltered beaches.

Natural highlights include the sculpted sandstone cliffs formed from Navajo Sandstone, narrow canyon mouths that open into hidden coves, and the striking contrast between red rock and blue water. Birdlife, including osprey and bald eagles, frequently patrols the shoreline; mule deer and bighorn sheep may be spotted atop canyon rims. A brief cultural note: Lake Powell filled after Glen Canyon Dam was completed in the 1960s, reshaping this stretch of the Colorado River and creating the recreational playground you’ll explore.

Why this charter stands out: twin Yamahas provide the reserve to run to distant features without worry, and the Robalo’s design balances fishing capability with comfortable cruising for up to 12 people. The 8-hour full day format gives time for a morning drift, a mid-day beach stop for swimming or cliff jumping, and an afternoon of trolling or sight-seeing. Launching from 486 Haul Rd places you minutes from Antelope Point and prime canyon entrances. Practicalities: bring a state fishing license if you plan to fish, pack layers for wind and sun, and carry water and trash bags to leave beaches as you found them.

The short transit to spectacular slot-canyon mouths, long sandy beaches, and panoramic overlooks makes this an efficient way to experience Lake Powell’s best in a single day. Whether you’re after trophy bass, family time on the water, or dramatic canyon photography, this Robalo charter delivers a full day of high-performance, low-stress adventure. Plan to arrive early to load gear and secure shade. Sunscreen, refillable water, and a waterproof bag are essential. The launch point at 486 Haul Rd, Page, AZ 86040 is a short drive from town, so you’ll spend maximum time exploring canyons and beaches today.
