Pontoon- 22’

Our 22' Pontoons have a maximum capacity of either 11 or 12 passengers, depending on which boat is booked. The boats are equipped with a 75hp OB motor, a side console steering wheel and a partial awning for optional sun and weather protection. Please note: We no longer offer BBQ grills on any of our pontoons and personal grills are not allowed to be taken aboard the boat. Rental prices do not include tax (8.875%) or Fareharbor booking fee (6%) that is non refundable.

DISCLAIMER

Please note that we are unable to guarantee one particular boat over another. Due to our high altitude marine environment and weather, we do not guarantee a working radio on all of our vessels, but you are welcome to bring along your own music. We also do not provide coolers on our boats but you may bring your own cooler as well. Personal grills are not allowed to be taken aboard the boat. We do NOT allow paddle boards or Kayaks on our rental boats. If you have any questions about what is or is not available on our boats prior to your arrival, please feel free to give us a call.
