Our Unmarked Rental Boats

We respect your right to not be labeled as a “tourist”, “newbie” or “boat renter”. Our pontoon boats are not labeled as rentals, no phone numbers, no company names, no advertising messages, etc. In addition to maintaining your privacy we think advertising messages on the boat is just plain ugly.

We are the only boat rental company on the Chain O’ Lakes with zero advertising. We like to say: It’s your boat for the day – so to speak!
