Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

A compact double‑decker built for groups

The vessel measures 25 feet and carries up to 15 passengers plus the captain—an arrangement that keeps gatherings private and manageable for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties or family outings.

THE VIEW

Upper deck viewing and a stern slide

An elevated upper deck provides a clear viewing platform, and a slide mounted off the back lets riders drop into the water—specifically called out as suitable for kids or adults feeling adventurous.

THE SOUND

Loud, party‑ready audio and included gear

Equipped with a Rockford Fosgate sound system and two tower speakers that the description says can be heard across the lake, the boat also comes with life jackets, a Yeti cooler, requested sporting equipment, a lilypad and onboard speakers.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

This is a social, captain‑led rental: guests board at a designated pickup point, settle on the lower deck or head up to the upper deck for views, cue up the Rockford Fosgate system and use the slide off the stern when the mood strikes. The operator provides life jackets, gas and a captain—so the group focuses on the party or family time rather than navigation and logistics.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental serves best—and its limits.

1
Small to mid‑sized groupsThe vessel is sized for groups up to 15 passengers plus a captain, making it a fit for private gatherings where everyone can travel together on one boat.
2
Party organizersBecause capacity is limited to 15 passengers, organizers can plan a contained event—birthdays or stag/hen parties—without coordinating multiple boats.
3
Families with childrenFamilies are accommodated by the onboard life jackets and the slide noted as appropriate for kids; the operator’s passenger limit still applies.
4
Groups requiring a captainThe rental includes a captain, so groups that prefer a guided, crewed experience rather than self‑drive options are a fit—keeping in mind the 15‑passenger capacity.
