What the day feels like

What the Afternoon Feels Like

The PM Half Day is a concentrated, relaxed stint on Lake Guntersville: launch from Sunrise Marina, settle into the tri‑toon’s roomy deck, and spend four hours navigating coves, anchoring for swims, or cruising shoreline vistas before returning by late afternoon. The package bundles essential onboard gear — life jackets and an anchor — while the Mercury 150 hp outboard provides the performance to move a full load of passengers with confidence.
