FORT COLLINS BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Sun, Slide and Stainless Steel: A Luxe Day Afloat on the Landau Island Breeze 252 at Horsetooth Reservoir
A 6- or 8-hour pontoon experience for groups (up to 13) aboard a fully equipped Island Breeze 252—this guide explains what to expect, where you launch, and what to pack for a day on the water.
Sun, Slide and Stainless Steel: A Luxe Day Afloat on the Landau Island Breeze 252 at Horsetooth Reservoir.
Sweeping shoreline cliffs and sheltered coves frame Horsetooth Reservoir outside Fort Collins; aboard the Landau Island Breeze 252 Sundeck you trade a beach blanket for plush seating and a top deck with a water slide. Renters can relax on a captain-led scenic tour or take a self-captained On-The-Water vessel, enjoying premium furniture, ample storage and a 175HP Suzuki that keeps the day moving.
