On a crisp evening in Mount Dora, a luxury all‑weather pontoon glides from the Lakeside Inn and eases onto Lake Beauclair for a one‑hour Festive Sunset Cruise. The seasonal outing threads the shoreline at dusk, serves hot apple cider and Christmas cookies to guests, and closes with views of the Christmas Lights Display as the boat returns to Lake Dora and Mount Dora Marina.

This is a short, private evening on the water: a luxury pontoon carries up to six passengers from a dock at the Lakeside Inn, eases along Lake Beauclair as the sun sinks, and then moves back toward Lake Dora so the group can take in the Christmas Lights Display from the marina while enjoying seasonal refreshments.
