Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A compact 17' sports utility with a 50 HP outboard

The craft is designed for groups of up to five with a 630‑lb maximum; rentals include the standard safety kit and an in‑person demo so you leave the dock ready to run the lake.

THE EXPERIENCE

Short, self‑guided excursions ideal for scenic runs

Choose a rental length that fits your day — from a quick 2‑hour spin to a longer 6‑hour outing — and use the supplied map of rental boundaries to plan your route and photo stops.

THE PREP

Safety and rules set the tone for every trip

Every rental starts with a full safety demonstration and included safety equipment; the operator enforces strict rules on alcohol, towing, and where you may come ashore to keep the experience safe for everyone.

What the day feels like

How the outing feels

The outing moves from a mandatory check‑in and hands‑on safety orientation into a self‑piloted run on the lake: you’ll be handed a boundaries map, fitted with safety gear, and then free to make circumscribed loops and anchorages within the rental limits while keeping to operator rules.

Suitability
