THE RULES

Simple preparation, clear safety rules

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You’ll board the roomy pontoon for a brief check‑in and safety briefing, then head out under power across Grand Lake. The 150‑HP motor makes leaving the dock and covering water effortless; once settled, vinyl floors and a Bluetooth radio turn the boat into a relaxed floating living room where you can anchor, picnic, or cruise the shoreline for the duration of your 4‑ or 8‑hour rental.
