Sylvan PartyFish Tritoon Rental — Parkside Marina Cruises on the Mississippi (Wabasha, MN) | Boat Rental | Marina

Parkside Marina’s ST-7 Sylvan PartyFish Cruiser Tritoon puts you on the Mississippi River in Wabasha, Minnesota, launching from 829 3rd St W, Wabasha. This 23' Sylvan PartyFish Deluxe Seating Tritoon with a Yamaha 150HP engine seats up to 12 and brings a power Bimini, upgraded Bluetooth stereo, and set-ups for tubing and fishing. It’s designed for long summer loops across the river’s broad channel and into Lake Pepin’s calmer arms where limestone bluffs and river islands shape the scenery. Slide into bench seats with suntan-ready cushions, zip a playlist through the stereo, and point the bow toward the high bluffs that frame this stretch of the Mississippi. Expect to see carved limestone outcrops, driftwood-strapped islands, and shoreline hardwoods - habitat for great blue herons and bald eagles that patrol thermals along the current. The boat's shallow-draft pontoon hull makes it forgiving in moving water and easy to beach on sandy points for a picnic or short swim. The craft is set up for tubing and fishing, with space to rig rods and a cooler for catch or cold drinks. Practicalities matter: the vessel comes with adult life jackets for full capacity, but bring children's jackets; renters and drivers must be 25 or older and familiar with Minnesota boating laws. Boats come with a full tank; renters are expected to replace fuel used. Booking rates on the listing show weekday and weekend pricing ($395 Mon–Thu; $495 Fri–Sun), and the product title references a 4-hour rental while the detailed listing notes 8-hour availability - confirm your preferred duration when reserving. Why this boat and place? Wabasha’s riverfront is both accessible and scenic: easy launch at Parkside Marina and immediate access to sweeping river corridors without the traffic of larger ports. The combination of a roomy social tritoon, thoughtful creature comforts, and the chance to run tubing lines or drop a jig in current makes it rare among local rentals - equally suited to family days, small parties, or anglers chasing walleyes and smallmouth. Practical tips: stash sun protection, bring a dry bag for electronics, and plan navigation around the island shoals. Parkside Marina and the nearby Lake City Marina serve as reliable staging areas; experienced renters will find the Sylvan PartyFish a stable, lively platform for a memorable Mississippi day. On calm days the wide wake flattens to glass and the boat doubles as a floating lounge; on wind-whipped afternoons the twin tubes punch through chop with surprising agility. Anglers will appreciate steady casting platforms for walleyes, white bass, and occasional northern pike; keep an eye for heron rookeries along sheltered coves. Before you go, check weather and river levels, pack layered clothing, and confirm life jacket sizes for kids. Reservations fill quickly on summer weekends. Book early online.
