Guided Private Pontoon Charter (4 yrs & up)
The very comfortable captain-chauffered Tritoon Pontoon boat offers you, your family, and friends a great way to get out on the water and enjoy the bay safely. The pontoon has a cooler full of ice waiting for you! Bring food, drinks, sunscreen, towels, and water toys, and have the fun you deserve on the brilliant blue water of the Grand Traverse Bay. You can head to Power Island for some swimming fun or tuck into a beach for the best of both worlds. This pontoon is actually a tri-toon, which means there are three tubes instead of two, making this ride super comfortable, smooth, stable and fast. Our highly trained captain is at your service! There may be an opportunity to swim, weather and wind permitting.
