Slow Sun, Quiet Wake: A Day Aboard the Del Mar 18U on Carter Lake.
Set on the sheltered water of Carter Lake near Loveland, the Del Mar 18U is a versatile eight-person pontoon that frames a day on the water around comfort and simple play: Bluetooth sound, a bimini for shade, an optional built-in BBQ and room for sunbathing or towing a tube.
