Blue Goose Double Deck — a full-scale party on the water
The Blue Goose double deck is the default choice when the goal is a high-energy lakeside celebration. Designed for groups up to 50, the boat includes a jump platform, onboard restroom, seating and a grill. Operators provide a captain and crew, lighting for evening cruises, life preservers and a generator—details that matter when you’re hosting a larger party far from shore.
If your trip from Midlothian centers on a group milestone or a multi-family outing, the Blue Goose minimizes logistics: a single vessel accommodates food service, music and an active swim platform. Note the operator’s strict capacity rules, a required check-in window before departure, and a three-hour minimum; confirm the company’s sunset swim and life-jacket policies when you book.

Daycation — Outdoor Dock Party: spa-style amenities without staying overnight
For travelers who want a refined day on the water without an overnight, the Daycation flotel at Love and Boat trades a motoring itinerary for a hospitality-forward stay on a floating platform. The package emphasizes wellness and comfort—sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, outdoor kitchen and a floating net—along with kayaks, SUPs and games to fill the day.
This experience is adult-focused and designed for small private groups; the operator limits access to ages 18+ and up to 15 guests. Because the offering runs on a single-day schedule, plan arrival, catering and any extras in advance. It’s a good match for a milestone celebration or a low-key luxury outing that prioritizes amenities over cruising.

With lounge seating, mood lighting, a large cooler with complimentary ice and water, and a canopy, the boat reads like a day-club on the water. Operators permit pets and ask that renters be 21+ with a valid driver’s license—practical details that make same-day departures smoother for Midlothian travelers.
Choose the four-hour option for an afternoon spin or the eight-hour window for a full-day itinerary that includes multiple coves and swim stops. The vessel comes stocked with life vests and basic safety gear; bring snacks, sun protection and any personal water toys you plan to tow or use.

2023 Aloha Club 23’ — more power, flexible windows
The Aloha Club 23’ targets renters who want a substantial engine and straightforward rental terms.

Spacious VIP Tritoon — premium short cruises
A 25-foot tritoon with a large bimini top and a 150HP engine, the Spacious VIP Tritoon is tuned for smaller groups who want comfort and shade. The operator emphasizes safety—life preservers, throw cushions and shore-distance rules (stay 100' from the shoreline)—and encourages renters to present boater education credentials depending on age.
Short two-hour blocks are convenient for an afternoon cruise or a sunset run without committing to a full day. For groups leaving from Midlothian, the quick options reduce driving time to launching marinas while still offering a premium, well-equipped experience.

Before you go
Four practical planning checks
Operators list minimum hours, capacity limits and age requirements. Verify the three-hour minimums, deposit rules and any no-beaching policies before you book.
Some rentals require renters to be 21+ or 25+ and to present a boater safety certificate if born after a given date. Pack driver’s licenses and certificates to avoid delays at check-in.
Follow posted life-jacket policies and shoreline-distance rules (many operators require staying 100' from shore). Confirm swim-window and sunset restrictions if you plan evening activities.
Ask about check-in arrival windows, catering or DJ setup time, fuel or engine-hour billing, and whether pets are allowed so your trip runs smoothly.
