Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Sturdy 20' SunChaser with modern power and practical range

Sweet N' Low is a 20' SunChaser tri‑toon fitted with a 2025 Suzuki 75‑horse EFI outboard and a 26‑gallon fuel tank; with one or two people aboard it will cruise at roughly 20 mph, though speeds fall as additional weight—passengers and coolers—are added. USB and USB‑C charging points are onboard, and pets are welcome.

THE WATER

Scallops, springs and shipwrecks — choose your escape

The craft is used to run scalloping beds, anchor for swims in crystal‑clear springs or serve as a base for near‑coastal dives on shipwrecks and underwater structure — a flexible platform for whatever form your aquatic escape takes.

THE SERVICE

Ramp‑side orientation and hands‑on support

Rentals include a thorough check‑in: staff meet you at the launch, walk you through safety equipment and local hazards, help load and launch the boat, and then assist with return procedures and refueling after the trip so you can focus on the day on the water.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

From the ramp orientation to the slow churn of the tri‑toon as it eases onto open water, the experience is deliberately low‑stress: a short safety briefing and familiarization, a launch with hands‑on help, then you at the helm pursuing scallops, springs, sandbars or wrecks until you call ahead to coordinate return and check‑in.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and where to be cautious.

1
Active FamiliesFamilies and friend groups seeking a relaxed day on rivers, springs or near‑coastal waters fit well; the platform is geared to social, low‑speed outings but remember a full 12‑person load will slow boat speed.
2
Pet OwnersPets are allowed aboard, making the trip a fit for groups that travel with animals — just plan to clean up after them and manage their safety on deck.
3
Scallopers & Recreational FishersThe boat is presented as a platform for scalloping and nearshore fishing trips, with enough range for day trips and basic onboard amenities to support a hands‑on outing.
4
Swim & Dive TeamsSmall dive or swim groups using springs, sandbars or wreck sites can use the SunChaser as a staging platform; the operator emphasizes safety briefings and local‑hazard orientation before launch.
