THE BOAT

A 22-foot pontoon built for social cruising

Kaydeross is a 22' pontoon configured for up to nine passengers and private charters, allowing a captain to handle navigation while your group relaxes on deck.

THE FREEDOM

Swim, dine lakeside, and bring your own soundtrack

The charter explicitly invites passengers to bring drinks, coolers, swim toys and speakers or plug in a phone for music, and to stop for lakeside dining and swimming as desired.

THE PRACTICALS

Private, designated-driver service with flexible timing

A personal captain pilots the boat so your group can treat the outing like a private lakeside escape, with the ability to extend time on the water beyond the two-hour minimum for an additional hourly charge.
