Guided Private Pontoon Charter (4 yrs & up)

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.

Summary: My husband and I took the new pontoon ferry service out to Power Island and loved every minute of it! Captain Nate was relaxed, organized, and personable and we enjoyed learning about the island from him. We spent about an hour hiking around the island, including taking the isthmus out to Bassett Island, and had a bald eagle fly right in front of us. We spent the rest of the time relaxing on the beach and swimming in perfect turquoise waters...the best! I now have yet another favorite beach on Lake Michigan. This is a great way to get out to Power Island safely and quickly; highly recommend this company.
