Private Tour
Guided Private Pontoon Charter (4 yrs & up)
Overview
2 hours
Mobile ticket
The very comfortable captain-chauffered Tritoon Pontoon boat offers you, your family, and friends a great way to get out on the water and enjoy the bay safely. The pontoon has a cooler full of ice waiting for you! Bring food, drinks, sunscreen, towels, and water toys, and have the fun you deserve on the brilliant blue water of the Grand Traverse Bay. You can head to Power Island for some swimming fun or tuck into a beach for the best of both worlds. This pontoon is actually a tri-toon, which means there are three tubes instead of two, making this ride super comfortable, smooth, stable and fast. Our highly trained captain is at your service! There may be an opportunity to swim, weather and wind permitting.

5.00We had a great time. It was relaxing to be on the water. Nate was a great captain, very friendly and easy to have good conversation with. We loved that it was just our group on the boat, and exactly what we did and where we went was flexible according to what we felt like doing. I would definitely recommend this tour and charter company to others.
Captain Nate was Great!

5.00My husband and I and another couple rented the pontoon for 3 hours and had an awesome time! I had called to make the reservation and they were very friendly and easy to work with to set up our preferred day and time. Captain John was great – fun, informative, accommodating and very skilled in boating. He gave us a tour of the bay (loved the tiki bar stop!) and then took us to Power Island at our request so we could sit at a picnic table to enjoy the bottle of wine and snacks we brought with us. The pontoon boat was very comfortable – lots of room for the 4 of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 hours and will definitely be requesting another boat trip with Captain John the next time we are in Traverse City during the summer!
Beautiful sunset cruise
