THE BOAT

Spacious, Premium Pontoons

These boats prioritize seating and comfort—extra seats, roomy decks and amenities that keep a full party relaxed for hours on the water.

THE GROUP

Built for Up to 10 People

Designed to carry full groups—families, friend gatherings, or small parties—the pontoon accommodates larger parties in a single, comfortable craft.

THE PACE

Flexible Hourly and Daily Rentals

Rentals are offered by the hour or by the day, letting you tailor a short sightseeing cruise or an all-day outing without changing boats.

What the day feels like

What the Cruise Feels Like

From boarding to return, the outing reads like a slow, social day: board at the marina, settle into cushioned seats, drift past shoreline views and pick a spot to pause and relax—the emphasis is on comfort and group time rather than speed or strenuous activity.
