Captain Shawn's Rentals operates boat and watercraft rentals out of Chisago City, Minnesota, serving visitors to the Chisago Lakes chain of five scenic lakes. The business offers a simple fleet of options: 6 Passenger Pontoons, 10 Passenger Pontoons, fishing boats, and single-person kayaks. Each rental is designed to support day trips, lakeside picnics at designated day camps, and exploration of the newly formed Water Trail that connects the five lakes.
