THE VESSEL

A roomy 16' G3 Party Barge

The 2019 Sun Tracker Party Barge is designed to carry groups comfortably, with seating for up to 12 people and a layout suited to socializing on the water.

POWER & PACE

115 HP motor, cruising near 15 mph

A 115 horsepower engine gives the party barge enough thrust for a steady cruise; the craft’s maximum speed is roughly 15 mph—fast enough to get around the lake without pushing performance limits.

COMFORT

Shade when you need it

A deployable sun awning is included, offering immediate shade for passengers during bright or hot conditions and extending comfortable hours on the water.

What the day feels like

What a day aboard feels like

From launch to return, the rental is built around simple, social lake time: a roomy platform for a group, steady propulsion from the 115 HP engine, and on‑board shade from the deployable awning. Whether you move at the craft’s roughly 15 mph cruising pace or idle to relax, the Sun Tracker is set up to keep a dozen passengers comfortable for a half‑day, full day, or longer rental.
