Route Schematic

Typical Day: Launch, Cruise, Swim, Return

The rental day centers on lake access: launching, time on open water for cruising and swimming, and returning to refuel and check in.

  1. Pickup / Launch

    Complete payment and damage-hold authorization, collect keys or accept delivery, and launch the Waverunner or pontoon for your eight-hour rental.

  2. Open-Water Cruising

    Cruise the lake for sightseeing and to find swim spots—machines are equipped for a full day of recreational use.

  3. Swim / Anchor and Relax

    Use the pontoon’s full-size swim platform and tanning bench for dives and downtime; Bluetooth speakers provide onboard music.

  4. Return and Fuel

    Top off the unit with 91 Premium and return the craft to the shop or prepare for pickup collection per the operator’s instructions.

Renters must be at least 21 to rent and 18 to operate; a major credit card pre-authorization for the damage deposit is required, and renters are responsible for fuel and any damage costs.
