Three Days on Lake Keowee: Two Viaggio Layouts, One Long Weekend to Remember
A 72-hour watercraft rental from Rentals of the Carolina Upstate that outfits Viaggio L22U and L22S pontoons with life vests, Bluetooth radios and an iced Yeti cooler—this guide explains what’s included and how to plan for busy holiday weekends.
Three Days on Lake Keowee: Two Viaggio Layouts, One Long Weekend to Remember.
Rentals of the Carolina Upstate offers a three-day experience on Lake Keowee aboard two Viaggio models: the L22U with a U-shaped social layout and Simrad Bluetooth system, and the L22S with an open lounger layout and analog Bluetooth system. Both arrive with 150hp engines and come provisioned with one tank of gas, 12 adult life vests, and an iced Yeti cooler—essentials that let you focus on cruising, swimming and lakeside downtime. Note that peak holiday weekends carry an additional charge and bring far heavier traffic on the water.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Two Viaggio layouts, identical power
Choose between the Viaggio L22U’s U-shaped social seating with Simrad Bluetooth or the Viaggio L22S’s lounger-style open layout with analog Bluetooth; both are rated with 150hp and come in distinctive color schemes.
What’s on board: safety and basic comforts
Each boat is provisioned with one tank of gas, 12 adult life vests and an iced Yeti cooler, plus Bluetooth-capable radios—enough equipment to stage a comfortable day afloat without immediate resupply.
Plan for holiday crowds and surcharges
Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends are notably busy on Lake Keowee; rentals on those weekends carry an additional $200 charge due to the higher congestion and operational risk.
What the day feels like
What three days on the water feels like
A 72-hour rental hands you control of a well-equipped pontoon set up for social afternoons and easy cruising: play music over Bluetooth, stack cold drinks in the iced Yeti cooler, don life vests when you anchor for a swim, and run on the one tank of gas provided. The two Viaggio layouts change how you spend time — the U-shape invites conversation and group lounging, the lounger layout favors sunning and a more open deck — but both are built to make a long weekend on Lake Keowee simple and dependable.
