Tritoon Boat • Viaggio Lago L22U • Horsetooth Reservoir

On clear summer mornings the flat prairie west of Fort Collins gives way to a long blue ribbon—Horsetooth Reservoir—framed by the hogback ridge known as Horsetooth Rock and pine-scattered shorelines. Located in Larimer County just west of Fort Collins, Colorado, the reservoir offers steep-red sandstone outcrops, sheltered coves, and clean open water ideal for motorized recreation. The Tritoon Boat • Viaggio Lago L22U is built to make that water accessible to groups: a 10-person pontoon with a 150hp Mercury outboard, double Bimini tops, Bluetooth stereo, a tow bar for tubes, and an optional built-in BBQ grill for lakeside meals.

Choose a captain-guided scenic tour to relax while a local skipper navigates the coves and points of interest, or pick the self-captained On-The-Water rental for a hands-on day. Boarding and departure take place from the South Bay boat ramp docks; some booking options note Boyd Lake Marina and take-and-go pickups at the company’s rental facility. Trips are offered in 6- and 8-hour blocks—ideal for long afternoons when the light slants across the water and the pine-scented wind cools the sun.

What makes this option stand out is the combination of comfort, power, and accessories. The pontoon’s removable dining table and rear boarding ladder turn a day of cruising into a full-service outing. The tow bar and optional tube package make it an adrenaline option for families and friend groups; the floating lake mats and BBQ package turn shallow coves into dining rooms and sun decks.

The boat’s size and engine give quick access to quiet swim bays, and the double Bimini means shade for everyone on hot afternoons. Practical details matter: renters must be at least 21 to rent, operators 16+ with appropriate boating certification if under eighteen. Capacity is capped at ten people.

Bring sun protection, plenty of drinking water, and towels; extras like life jackets, floating mats, and towable tubes are available as add-ons. Bookings are processed through the FareHarbor link provided by the operator; check the booking page for current availability and policies. For visitors based in Fort Collins, a day on the Viaggio Lago L22U is a compact, social way to experience Horsetooth—swimming in clear water, slipping into quiet coves, and cruising beneath the red ridge that defines this part of the Front Range.

Operators addon options and attention to gear set this rental apart: shore-side staff stage each launch with inspected safety equipment, and the boat’s layout balances sun and shade so multi-generational groups can relax together. Families appreciate the rear ladder for easy swimming exits while thrill-seekers can tow tubes near the dam.
