Caroga Lake’s sheltered waters make an uncomplicated setting for a pontoon day: board a clean, well‑maintained boat, pick a calm spot to anchor, and spend hours swimming, sunning or simply drifting with the shoreline in view. The operator’s fleet is cared for between rentals, and flexible lengths of time let you shape a day (or a week) around your group.

THE FLEET

Well‑maintained, cleaned between uses

The marina keeps its pontoons in good condition and cleans them between rentals, so you step aboard a tidy boat ready for swimming, tanning or relaxing.

THE DAY

Simple, self-directed hours on the water

Rentals are built around open time on the lake: anchor for a swim, spread out on deck for sun time, or cruise the coves at your own pace.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Options that fit a variety of plans

Choose from shorter daytime rentals or longer blocks — the marina offers multiple rental lengths so you can tailor a visit to a half‑day, full day or longer stay.

What the day feels like

You arrive at the marina, board a pontoon that’s been prepared for your group, and spend the hours you booked moving between cruising, anchoring for a swim and stretching out on deck. The pace is low; the boat’s size and setup encourage lingering—an uncomplicated day defined by water, sun and company.
