THE FLEET

Three pontoon categories to match intent and budget

Moose Landing offers a range of pontoons — including tritoons and dual‑console options — so you can pick a modest, family‑friendly craft or upgrade to a more luxurious layout for an easier afternoon afloat.

THE ACTIVITIES

Tubing and fishing, with clear limits

The rental explicitly allows tubing and fishing but forbids waterskiing and wakeboarding; anglers must secure the appropriate Maine fishing license before casting a line.

THE PRACTICAL

Bring the dog, buy the ice, plan for cleanup

Dogs are permitted aboard for a $75 cleanup fee; the marina also sells ice for coolers. Renters and operators are jointly responsible for any damage to the vessel.

What a Half Day on the Water Feels Like

Whether you’re towing a tube for a few adrenaline minutes or anchoring to fish, the rental is organized around easy access to the water and a single‑afternoon time window.
