Spend a Day on a 22' Bennington Tritoon at Lake Gaston

Lake Gaston opens wide from the slip at 2192 River Rd in Henrico, North Carolina, where a 22' Bennington Tritoon awaits a day of wake, spray, and easygoing fun. This daily rental from Northampton Marine (bookable through Jennifer at (252)578-6532) runs 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and carries up to ten people beneath a 150‑horsepower outboard—enough power for tubing, knee boarding, or a calm cruise. The craft’s tritoon hull balances stability and planning speed, making it a smart choice for mixed groups that want both tow sports and leisurely shoreline runs.

Lake Gaston is a reservoir that sprawls across the North Carolina–Virginia border, known for clear pockets of open water, tree-lined coves, and an average depth around 35 feet. Expect broad views, cattail-edged marshes and intermittent rocky shoals—bring a nautical depth map and give docks, piers, and other boats a 200‑foot buffer. Washburns Marina is the recommended refueling point on return; all boats are issued a full tank at pickup and must be refueled prior to docking.

Operational details shape the day: a 50% deposit secures your booking (nonrefundable), with damage deposits collected 24 hours before pickup—$750 for pontoons, $1500 for deck boats and tritoons—refunded after inspection if no damage is found. Northampton Marine reminds renters that pontoon hulls are not designed for towing; tubing and knee boarding are permitted only from appropriate boats. Boats lack brakes and headlights, so night operation is prohibited and all daily rentals must be returned by 4 p.m. The company closes at 5 p.m., and customers are allowed one parking spot at the marina.

Why book this particular 22' Bennington Tritoon? It’s a practical platform: wide decks for sunbathing, a stable wake for learning knee boarding, and a layout that keeps kids safe while adults handle the helm. For anglers it’s roomy enough to rig rods and chase flats; for social groups it’s a clean, comfortable stage for a summer escape. Local wildlife, from great blue herons to occasional bald eagles, punctuates shoreline quiet. Whether you’re teaching someone to stand up on a board, towing a laughing tube, or simply slipping between coves with a cooler, this rental packages convenience, power, and the easy accessibility of Lake Gaston’s wide water.

Booking is straightforward through the FareHarbor link provided with this listing; a 50% nonrefundable prepayment holds your date and the remaining balance is processed 24 hours before pickup. If you have special needs, call or text Jennifer at (252)578-6532 to discuss boat selection, tow equipment, or parking logistics. The rental is family-friendly but enforces minimum age and safety guidelines—review the vendor’s policies before you arrive. On Lake Gaston, a planned day on a Tritoon becomes a memory you bring home after sunset and repeat.
