THE BOAT

Spacious Lowe pontoon for groups

Del Rey is a roomy Lowe pontoon that comfortably holds up to 11 passengers, arranged for social days on the water rather than high-speed runs.

THE ACTIVITIES

Fishing, floating and tubing

The rental is tailored to a mix of low-key pursuits—fishing and floating are central, and tubing is permitted, giving days on the water a bit of adrenaline without the pace or handling of a speedboat.

THE PRACTICALS

Pet-friendly and renter-responsible fuel

The boat is pet-friendly for a fee, and renters are responsible for refueling at the Gas Shack at the end of the day.

What the day feels like

What a day on Del Rey feels like

A day aboard Del Rey is social and unhurried: friends and family unload at Lake Wilson Marina, spread out across the pontoon and set a soundtrack. Much of the day is spent drifting, casting lines or towing an inner tube at modest speed—more a floating party than a watersports race—before returning to refuel and secure the boat.
