Adventure brief
Long Lake, Laid Back: The 2025 Tahoe Sport 85 RF from BeesNTrees Marine
Sail across Long Lake aboard the 2025 Tahoe Sport 85 RF, a modern 23-foot dayboat laid out for comfort and easy handling. Whether you’re cutting a calm wake along the shoreline, anchoring for a swim, or drifting through a lazy afternoon, this roomy, well-appointed boat is designed for families and groups who want a relaxed Northwoods day on the water.
Long Lake, Sarona’s calm expanse of water in northern Wisconsin, is a paddle-and-boat playground where pine-lined shore meets clear, cold water. The 2025 Tahoe Sport 85 RF is a modern 23-foot cruiser — a comfortable, 12‑passenger boat with a 90hp Suzuki — built for long afternoons of cruising, swimming, and island picnics. Meet at BeesNTrees Marina: N1279 County Hwy MD, Sarona, WI 54870 (Meet us at the marina to pick up your rental) and step aboard a roomy deck layout that balances lounge seating with open space for gear and sunbathing.
This rental is perfect for families and mixed-experience groups. The Tahoe’s responsive handling and efficient engine make it approachable for newer boaters while still satisfying those who want a confident ride across open water. Use it to trace Long Lake’s shoreline, anchor near a sheltered cove for a swim, troll gently for panfish, or simply drift and watch common loons and osprey patrol the shallows. The lake’s geology is typical of the Northwoods: glacially carved basins ringed by sandy points, scattered bedrock outcrops, and dense stands of white pine and birch.
What makes this offering stand out is the combination of a modern, clean boat and local convenience. BeesNTrees Marina operates from a small, friendly launch point that feels like a community hub; they outfit rentals with essential safety gear including jackets, throw cushions, and a fire extinguisher so you arrive ready to go. With a maximum capacity of 12, the boat works equally well for quiet family days and small celebrations.
Practical notes: rentals are flexible — from a half day to multi‑day options — so plan according to weather and lake traffic. Be aware that Long Lake’s shallow bays warm quickly in summer but cool off fast after sunset; bring layered clothing. Respect posted no‑wake zones and private docks, and follow Leave No Trace principles when visiting islands or shoreline.
Whether you’re scouting secluded picnic coves, letting kids splash from the swim platform, or lining up sunset photos with a low horizon, the Tahoe Sport 85 RF gives you the platform to make it happen. It’s a straightforward way to experience Sarona’s water access without sacrificing comfort or control, and it opens up Long Lake’s quiet corners to a group-sized outing that feels both effortless and memorable.
Before you go, confirm fuel policy and any required security deposit with BeesNTrees Marine and arrive thirty minutes early for a safety briefing and rigging. Pack biodegradable sunscreen, swim shoes for rocky entries, a cooler with ice, and waterproof dry bags for phones. If you plan to tow a tube or kayak, check capacity limits and tow gear availability. Respect quiet hours on the lake and avoid sensitive wetlands when anchoring to protect spawning areas. Enjoy responsible lakeside recreation.
