Suitable for all fitness levels; mostly seated with light activity during fishing.
Set sail on a relaxing fishing cruise through Wabasha, Minnesota's stunning river waters. Enjoy a peaceful day aboard a private pontoon with expert guidance and plenty of wildlife sightings.
Basic pontoons are a smaller and more economical option! 5 or 8 Hours • 10 Passengers
Our Basic pontoons are beautiful boats but smaller, lower powered, and more economical than our larger luxury tritoons. This 20' pontoon offers dual captains chairs in the rear, perfect for lounging or fishing, along with traditional cruiser seats up front for relaxing and catching some sun. As with all boats in our fleet, this boat is equipped with a 4-cycle Yamaha outboard, giving plenty of power to get you around safely on the mighty Mississippi!

Early/Late Season (May & September)
Effective July 1, 2025, anyone Minnesota Resident operating a motorized rental boat must have a Minnesota Watercraft Operator's Permit. Getting a permit is fast and easy. Operators can follow the link below to get their permit. https://boaterexam.com/usa/minnesota/
Operators from outside Minnesota must either be compliant with their home state regulations or must hold a Minnesota Watercraft Operator's Permit as described above.
Renters, it is your responsibility to make sure only qualified operators are allowed to drive the rental boat. You must have at least one permit holder on-board, or you will not be able to leave the dock. The permit must be presented to Pool 4 Adventures staff and be available to law enforcement should they want to check.
Our add-ons for this boat include such things as:
Mosquitoes and gnats are common near the water, especially in the evening. Use repellent to stay comfortable.
Weather can change quickly on the river; monitor forecasts and dress in layers accordingly.
Pontoon decks can be wet and slippery, so sturdy footwear helps prevent falls.
Make sure you have a valid Minnesota fishing license to comply with local regulations.
Wabasha is one of Minnesota's oldest settlements and historically important as a river trading post along the Mississippi.
Pool 4 Adventures promotes sustainable fishing practices and protects river habitats by following catch limits and minimizing disturbance.
Bring appropriate tackle to maximize your fishing success during the cruise.
Protect your skin from the strong summer sun while out on the water.
