Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A simple, comfortable platform for up to seven

The L‑168 is a new 16' pontoon with four bench seats, a bimini top for shade and a 20 HP motor — an uncomplicated craft designed for relaxed cruising and group days on the water.

THE TIMING

Flexible single‑day windows, up to an evening return

Rentals are offered in short to extended single‑day windows; after long rentals you may keep the boat into the evening up to the operator’s close time, letting you stretch a day on the water without added cost.

THE PRACTICALS

Plain rules keep the day simple

Capacity limits, fuel responsibilities and firm return times make the rental straightforward: the boat holds a small group, you refill fuel, and you follow the operator’s return windows for a predictable outing.
