Embark on your own private luxury pontoon at Jordan Lake and set the pace for the day: drift into quiet coves for a peaceful swim or motor toward the livelier party spots, all from a 25-foot pontoon fitted for groups up to ten. Lett's Go Watersports preps the boat in the water and provides an on-site crew member to meet you with safety and operation guidance so your outing runs smoothly.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VESSEL

25-foot Luxury Pontoon for Up to 10 Guests

The premium pontoon is configured as a private floating lounge for groups up to ten, combining comfort and modern equipment for family outings, celebrations, or small corporate events.

THE OPTIONS

Tailor Your Day: Secluded Beaches or Party Cove

You decide the vibe: seek a quiet beach or cove for relaxing swims and picnics, or head to Jordan Lake’s lively party areas for a more social scene — the rental is built to accommodate either approach.

THE AMENITIES

Add-ons and Convenience for a Carefree Day

Enhance swim stops with floating pads, deluxe pool noodles, seated tubing for young children, or iced beverages; the crew readies the boat in the water and meets you on the beach to provide operation and safety instruction.

What the day feels like

How the Day Unfolds

Your rental begins with advance booking and online waivers; arrive early to park and load supplies, meet a Lett's Go Watersports crew member on the beach for a briefing and safety overview, then set off to explore Jordan Lake at your own pace before returning the boat at the scheduled time.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should consider alternatives.

1
Families with Young ChildrenA good match provided you follow the safety rule that children 13 or younger wear life jackets at all times; seated tubing add-ons make gentle water play safe for little ones.
2
Groups & CelebrationsIdeal for small groups (up to ten) looking to celebrate on the water, with options to bring beverages responsibly; ensure a responsible, non-operator adult handles alcohol consumption rules.
3
Solo Young Renters Under 26Not an ideal option for renters under 26 who wish to operate the boat; renters must be at least 26 to rent and operate this luxury pontoon, so under-26 adults should book the captained charter alternative.
4
Non-Swimmers & Cautious GuestsAppropriate with precautions — adults who do not swim well are recommended to wear life jackets while the boat is operating to reduce risk.

Practical planner

Details to review before reserving

What to Bring

Bring towels, sunscreen, hats, water, food, and any personal beverages. Alcohol is permitted for responsible passengers 21+ who are not operating the boat, but must be secured in coolers or plastic containers and stowed until you are a safe distance from public docks and beaches. North Carolina law prohibits alcohol at Farrington Point docks, parking lots, beaches, and designated day-use areas; Jordan Lake is patrolled and boat operators may be checked for intoxication.

Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

Is there a deposit?

Yes. Prior to departure a $500 refundable hold will be placed on your credit card and released upon return and a cleared inspection of the boat and accessories.

Is gas included in the rental price?

Yes. The refuel cost is itemized and included in your rental price at point of sale.

What does the optional propeller insurance cover?

Propeller insurance covers dings or damage to the propeller from hitting rocks, stumps, or other debris; the propeller is checked at the beginning and end of each rental.

What happens if the propeller is damaged during my rental?

Any damage to the propeller will result in a $300 propeller replacement fee unless propeller insurance was purchased.

What does the optional boat insurance cover?

Optional boat insurance provides coverage for accidental damage to the rented pontoon not due to negligence or abuse; it would not cover damage such as cigarette burns to upholstery or accidents caused by crashing into another boat or a dock.
