22' Cobalt — Open-bow powerboat for watersports
This 22' Cobalt is presented as the operator’s most popular multi-day rental for groups up to eight. As an open-bow runabout with a deep-V hull, the boat is configured for cruising and towing: the listing highlights compatibility with tubes, wakeboards and water skis, and notes onboard amenities such as a Bluetooth stereo, life jackets, safety equipment and a bimini for shade. Multi-day bookings include the first tank of fuel and offer graduated discounts for longer rentals—10% for 2–3 days, up to 20% for a week or more—according to the operator-provided rates.
The operator sets a 25+ age requirement to rent and operates a 50% deposit policy with a 72-hour cancellation window. Delivery to West Shore lakefronts or buoy locations is offered; when planning from Carson City, factor in time for pickup or confirmed delivery logistics so your group can maximize on-water hours.

27' Playcraft Pontoon — Room to socialize and relax
The 27' Playcraft pontoon listing emphasizes capacity—up to 12 guests—and creature comforts such as a Bluetooth stereo and extended shade via a bimini top. Operator notes stress that pontoons are optimized for relaxed cruising along the West Shore and for social days on the water rather than aggressive towing; pontoons can pull tubes but are not set up for skis or wakeboards. Multi-day pricing and the same staged discount structure apply, with delivery options available to many West Shore lakefronts.
For travelers based in Carson City who value space and accessibility, the 27' pontoon is an efficient way to place a large group on the lake without coordinating multiple vessels. Confirm the operator’s delivery boundaries and any extra fees, and remember the listing prohibits dogs and anchoring outside designated services.

27' Pontoon — Same Playcraft option (operator repeat)
This entry represents the same 27' Playcraft pontoon listed elsewhere in the operator’s inventory. Details mirror the primary Playcraft listing: seating for up to twelve, a Bluetooth stereo, bimini shade and the operator’s multi-day discount schedule. The operator specifies that pontoons can pull floating tubes but are not configured for skis or wakeboards, and reiterates the no-dogs and no-anchoring policies except via restaurant valet services.
When comparing listings, treat this as an equivalent option; availability numbers shown with the operator may differ across listing IDs but link to the same booking flow. Always review the operator’s fuel, delivery and cancellation terms on the source page before committing.

25' Southbay Pontoon — Mid-size comfort and maneuverability
The 25' Southbay pontoon is presented as a mid-size choice for groups up to eleven. The operator’s description highlights the same convenience features: Bluetooth stereo, life jackets, safety equipment and a protective bimini. Multi-day rentals follow the operator’s discount ladder and include a first tank of fuel; renters must return multi-day boats with a full tank or be responsible for refueling.
For Carson City travelers who want more elbow room than a small runabout but prefer a vessel that’s easier to dock and maneuver than a full 27' pontoon, the Southbay 25' offers a compromise. Confirm delivery availability to your desired West Shore drop-off and check the operator’s 50% deposit and 72-hour cancellation policy before booking.
