About
Jelly holds up to 10 people or 1,925 lbs. These are great for cruising with a group of friends or even just a couple people. A round table in the middle is perfect for food and beverages. Our Donut Boats can also be anchored or beached in our “cove” area before Lake Michigan and make for a fun afternoon for swimming or just hanging out. They can also go to our sister waterfront bar, the Red Dock cafe.
