A 2022 Sea‑Doo Switch: nimble, shaded, ready
The featured craft is a 2022 Sea‑Doo Switch pontoon with a bimini top, built for maneuverability and comfortable hours on the lake — an option meant to prioritize ease of handling and shelter from sun.
Flexible hour blocks, fuel included
Rentals are offered as shorter three‑hour sessions or full‑day bookings; fuel is included with the rental, and you can add a captain for guided time on the water.
Lake Monona as your playground
The operation centers on Lake Monona — open cruising, social stops, and relaxed on‑deck time make the lake the primary setting for these rentals.
What the day feels like
What the outing feels like
Boarding is uncomplicated: launch, head out onto Lake Monona, and settle into the pontoon’s open deck. Short three‑hour trips are brisk affairs of cruising and brief stops; full‑day rentals stretch into sustained outings with time for anchoring, swimming, and sunning under the bimini. For those who prefer to be passengers, a captain can be added to handle helm duties and route choices.
