From the launch at Page, Arizona, the 22' Bennington pontoon turns the wide sweep of Lake Powell into an accessible playground: roomy seating and a Bimini for shade, a depth finder for navigation and a reliable 150 Yamaha to carry groups of up to ten across canyon-fringed water. Whether you chase sun on deck or pull into a quiet cove, the Bennington is set up for comfort and usable power.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Roomy, Comfortable, and Capable

The 2023 Bennington seats up to ten guests and pairs plush, open-deck comfort with practical kit — a Bimini top for shade and a depth finder for confident navigation — while a 150 Yamaha motor gives you responsive cruising across Lake Powell.

THE WATER

Lake Powell, Wide and Inviting

Expect long runs across broad water and the chance to explore sheltered inlets; the boat is configured to let groups enjoy sun, shade and easy movement between helm and bow.

THE PRACTICALS

What Comes With the Rental

Life jackets in sizes Small through XL are included (notify the operator in advance for youth sizes), and the craft is delivered with a full tank of premium fuel — operators supply refueling instructions and optional fueling or launch/retrieval services for added fees.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

You check in at the Page pickup point and push off with a party of friends or family, moving smoothly across big water under the Bimini or out in the sun. The boat’s layout keeps social space and sightlines open: short hops between boat and shoreline, long runs along straighter stretches, and the ready power to steer where you want to go.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should plan differently.

1
Groups & FamiliesWell suited to groups up to ten seeking a social, comfortable day on Lake Powell — ample seating and shade make it ideal for family outings, provided the renter meets the operator’s age requirement.
2
Weekend CruisersGood match for renters wanting one- to multi-day access (rentals available from 1–7 days) who can manage fuel and docking logistics themselves or pay for operator services.
3
Young RentersNot a match for under-21 renters: the company requires the primary renter to be at least 21 years old with a valid driver’s license.
4
First-Time BoatersAppropriate for novices who are comfortable receiving a short orientation at pickup and following refueling and return procedures; insurers and damage-deposit rules apply, so clarify coverage before you go.
