01 · Big-capacity cruiser
23' Suntracker Pontoon — 150HP for groups
The 23' Suntracker is the workhorse option for larger groups that want both speed and space. With a 150HP engine and capacity for up to 11 passengers, it accelerates cleanly across open water, making it easy to reach long lakeshores or island coves before crowds arrive. Operators deliver the boat to your chosen shoreline on Sebago Lake and return to pick it up at a scheduled time, which removes the hassle of launching and recovery.
Practical details matter: operators require drivers to be 21 or older, provide life preservers for all passengers, and ask that boats be returned fueled. The Suntracker is ideal if your itinerary includes towing tubes, water play, or moving between multiple anchorages across a long weekend.

Nice Avalone Pontoon — Comfortable 90HP option
The Nice Avalone pontoon pairs a spacious layout with a 90HP engine that feels stable for family cruising. It comfortably carries up to 10 passengers and is commonly booked as a multi-day rental, which encourages relaxed itineraries—think slow mornings, long lunches at quiet coves, and sunset runs. Delivery to your preferred launch point on Sebago Lake means you spend less time handling logistics and more time on the water.
If your priority is a smooth, roomy platform for swimming and socializing rather than top speed, this Avalone hits the sweet spot. As with other operators in the region, drivers must be at least 21, boats are delivered between morning windows, and a security deposit is required at booking.

Sweetwater Double Decker — Slide, top deck, 12-person capacity
For groups seeking a lively day afloat, the 24' Sweetwater Double Decker stands out. It offers a raised top deck and an integrated slide for playful exits into the water—features that turn a standard cruise into a full-day party. With room for up to 12 passengers and a 115HP engine, the boat balances capacity with performance so you can move between beaches and anchorages efficiently.
Because this model invites more active use, plan for extra considerations: secure stow for gear, a clear plan for swimming and re-boarding, and respect for quieter shorelines. Operators deliver and collect the boat within specified windows, and like all regional rentals, a deposit and proof of operator age are required.

24' Lowe Pontoon — 150HP for extended cruising
The 24' Lowe Pontoon is another 150HP option favored by groups who plan longer transits across Sebago Lake. Its capacity for 11 passengers pairs with a powerful engine to make reaching distant coves or island lunch spots straightforward. Delivery service to your selected shoreline reduces the friction of boat handling, letting you focus on itinerary and provisioning.
Choose this model when your plans include moving between multiple anchorages in a single day or when you want the confidence of higher horsepower for windier conditions. As with the other rentals, fuel is not typically included and boats should be returned fueled to avoid additional charges.

Sweetwater 'Thompson Lake' Pontoon — 70HP for easygoing days
The Sweetwater Thompson Lake pontoon is the choice for travelers who prefer a relaxed tempo on the water. With a 70HP engine and seating for 10, it’s ideal for scenic cruising, swimming stops, and long picnics at quiet bays. Delivery and pickup windows offer convenience, especially for guests staying in Auburn or nearby towns.
If your priority is downtime rather than speed—reading on deck, swimming off the swim ladder, or a gentle tour of shoreline camps and beaches—this model provides a comfortable platform without excess power. Standard operator requirements and deposit policies apply.

Avalone Pontoon — Bring the dog (with deposit)

With a 40HP engine and room for up to 8 passengers, it’s a comfortable pick for smaller groups who want to include their pet in lake days. The operator notes some additional wear on the vessel, positioning it as a worry-free, dog-friendly choice.
If bringing a dog is part of why you’re renting—a shoreline picnic, gentle swims, and short runs between coves—the Avalone makes that straightforward. Confirm deposit and any pet-specific rules at booking and remember all standard safety equipment is provided by the operator.
