THE BOAT

A true deck boat: 44 ft Patio pontoon

This is a 44‑foot Patio pontoon equipped with a Mercury engine, built for spacious, social cruising and long days on the water.

THE CREW

Bring the whole group — and the dog

The rental is sized for gatherings: maximum capacity is 15 people, and pets are explicitly permitted, making this a comfortable choice for multi‑person outings.

THE RULES

Know the limits: watersports restriction

The operator prohibits pulling watersports from this pontoon; plan activities around cruising, swimming from the boat, and shoreline stops rather than tow sports.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Expect a day (or longer) defined by gentle motion and wide decks: board the pontoon, settle into the seating, and move at the pace of the water — social conversation, sun, shade and the ease of a craft built for groups, pets included.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

2
Pet OwnersPet‑friendly setup lets owners bring animals aboard, so long as owners provide for their pet’s safety and comfort.

Leisure CruisersBest for travelers who prioritize comfortable, social cruising and on‑boat relaxation rather than high‑adrenaline water sports.
