Outing Highlights

THE BOATS

Viaggio L22U & L22S — room, power, and music

Choose between the Viaggio L22U with a U-shaped layout and Simrad system or the Viaggio L22S with an open lounger layout; both feature Bluetooth radios and a 150hp engine for confident cruising.

THE INCLUSIONS

Everything you need for a day afloat

Rentals include one tank of gas, twelve adult life vests, and an iced Yeti cooler for use aboard—gear that lets a full group maximize the eight-hour rental.

THE TIMING

A full day—but note the holiday conditions

The standard rental block runs for eight hours (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.); holiday weekends (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day) carry a $200 surcharge because waters are especially busy and higher risk.

What the day feels like

Board at your chosen Lake Keowee rental dropoff, load the Viaggio with up to a dozen adults and chilled provisions, then spend an eight-hour block cruising, swimming off the stern, and running the onboard Bluetooth system—returning to the dropoff by the scheduled end of the rental.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and when to reconsider.

Large groupsUp to twelve adults can be accommodated, making this a strong option for groups wanting a single-boat day together.

Full-day plannersThe rental is set as an eight-hour block (10 a.m.–6 p.m.), ideal for travelers looking to dedicate a full day to Lake Keowee rather than short hops.

Holiday-weekend bookersBe aware that Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends incur a $200 surcharge because waters are notably busier and higher risk.

Music-and-comfort seekersRenters who prioritize onboard amenities will appreciate Bluetooth audio, a stocked iced cooler, and the Viaggio layouts—features included with the boats.
