Board the Gracie and spend a full day on Lake Camanche aboard a 19‑passenger party barge that puts waterside privacy and basic comforts within reach: a waterslide, a gas grill, an onboard bathroom and an upper deck for lounging. The setup lets your group swim, eat and relax on the water without returning to shore.

THE ACCESS

Reach parts of the lake only boats can

The Gracie launches from Lake Camanche North Shore Marina and gives you access to stretches of the lake that are reachable only by boat, providing the kind of privacy and undisturbed water time that larger shore‑based options can’t match.

What the day feels like

How a day aboard the Gracie unfolds

A full‑day rental on the Gracie is structured around flexibility: depart from the North Shore Marina, cruise to quieter sections of Lake Camanche, and anchor where the group prefers. The barge’s facilities—restroom, kitchen sink and grill, upper deck and waterslide—mean you can swim, tan, cook and relax without returning to shore for hours at a time.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this barge suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Large friend groupsWell suited: the Gracie fits up to 19 passengers, letting an entire social group spend a full day together on the water. Note that the renter or captain must hold a California Safe Boater Card.
2
FamiliesSuitable for family outings up to the 19‑passenger limit; families should ensure the designated renter/captain has the required California Safe Boater Card.
3
Private eventsA good match for private celebrations that need an all‑in‑one floating platform, provided the guest list stays within the 19‑passenger capacity and the responsible renter/captain holds a Safe Boater Card.
4
Novice boatersPossible with the right preparation: novices can rent the Gracie but the renter/captain must be in possession of a California Safe Boater Card and should be comfortable managing a larger vessel for a full‑day outing.
