THE BOAT

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.

THE ACTIVITIES

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.

THE PRACTICALS

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.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small groups and familiesGroups up to eight who want a comfortable, social day on the water will find the pontoon well suited; children may accompany an adult renter (no minimum age to accompany), but the renter must be over 18.
2
Anglers looking for casual fishingCasual anglers who fish from a boat without electronics will appreciate the layout, but note the boat has no fish finder and is not purpose-equipped for serious tournament fishing.
3
Watersports enthusiastsNot a match: the pontoon is not equipped for towing or water sports, so if you plan to tow tubes or skis, seek a different boat.
4
Pet ownersThis rental is not suitable for travelers who want to bring pets—pets are not allowed on the boat.
