Comfort-forward pontoon for a day on the water
The 22' Sun Tracker seats up to eight, with wraparound seating, a large soft-top awning for shade, a stereo system, and a swim ladder—arranged for comfort whether you’re cruising or stopping to stretch and swim.
Cruising, casual fishing, and sightseeing
This pontoon is set for leisurely cruising and sightseeing and is suitable for casual fishing; it is not equipped for towing or water sports, and it does not include a fish finder.
Plug-and-play rental with safety gear included
The operator supplies all required safety equipment—life jackets, fire extinguisher, sounding device, throwable flotation device, and an oar—so you can rent and go without hunting down mandatory kit.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
A day aboard the Sun Tracker is unhurried: you launch from the marina, settle into shaded seats, and chart a course through Flaming Gorge’s waterways at modest speeds (roughly 15–22 mph depending on load and wind). The layout encourages conversation, easy casting from the sides, and swimming from the ladder when you find a quiet cove; the boat is built for relaxation rather than high-adrenaline water sports.
