No Experience Required

Lake Linden, Michigan, sits on the southern shore of the vast and storied Keweenaw Waterway, a natural gateway connecting inland waters to Lake Superior. Here, the landscape is shaped by dense northern forests and the rugged shores of the largest freshwater lake in the world. It’s against this backdrop that Jam Service offers their standout Double Decker Pontoon Rental — an experience that turns a day on the water into an all-out adventure.

This isn’t your typical pontoon boat day. Jam Service’s pontoon is powered by a robust 150hp Mercury Outboard engine that lends it strong, smooth handling across the water’s surface. Perfectly sized for up to 12 guests, the boat’s two-story design means there’s a top deck from which you can survey the surrounding pine-lined coast, and a thrilling waterslide that drops you straight into the clear, cool water – a magnet for families and groups seeking both relaxation and excitement.

Life vests for safety come included, ensuring everyone stays secure while splashing around or cruising near the shoreline. Rentals operate from 9 am to 6:30 pm, giving ample time to soak in the late spring to early fall warmth. Imagine coasting past rocky promontories carved by ancient lava flows, islands dotted with spruce and fir, and occasional sightings of bald eagles or otters playing nearby.

Jam Service’s location in Lake Linden positions it as a unique gateway to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula water recreation scene. Unlike crowded lakefronts farther south, this spot combines rugged natural charm with the convenience of a well-equipped, no-hassle rental — making it a rare gem for both locals and visitors eager to experience Lake Superior’s edge in style and comfort. Whether it’s a family gathering, a friendly reunion, or just a sunny escape, the Double Decker Pontoon Rental offers a memorable float filled with adventure and easygoing fun.
