Wide decks, 200 horses, and a day of coves: Bennington Tritoon outings on Grand Lake
A practical guide to renting a Bennington 200 Tritoon from Sail Grand Waterfront in Afton — what the boat offers, how rentals work, and planning essentials for a full day on the water.
Wide decks, 200 horses, and a day of coves: Bennington Tritoon outings on Grand Lake.
On Grand Lake, the Bennington 200 Tritoon is a social boat: roomy seating for a dozen people, a powerful 200-horse engine and a layout built for picnics, swimming and towing. Sail Grand Waterfront positions these Tritoons as full-day platforms for families and groups who want to explore shoreline coves and claim a private patch of water for the afternoon.
Rentals are offered in multi-hour blocks, with typical options spanning from shorter half-day windows up through extended six- to ten-hour bookings to fill a summer day.

Picnics, swimming and tubing
The tritoon is set up for a full day of lake activities: anchor in a quiet cove for a picnic or swim, or rig tubes and kneeboards for tow-time with friends.
