$132 for an All-Day Pontoon Rental for Up to Nine ($265 Value)

From 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., fishers, swimmers, or lovers of the Oneida Lake can zip across the water on a 21-foot Grumman C2180 CFP pontoon boat with two fishing seats, or the 21-food Grumman C2180 FP with four fishing seats. Up to nine passengers can sit on cushioned seats beneath a shade-granting canopy as they make use of an onboard fish and depth finder and fishing rod holders while listening to jams on the stereo. Life jackets are provided with the rental, and customers can check the day's fishing report before setting off.

Boat Oneida

Boat Oneida’s pontoons, fishing boats, and sport-fishing boats cast off onto shimmery Oneida Lake, a body of water formed more than 12,000 years ago when glaciers blocked the flow of the St. Lawrence River. Today, the lake stretches 22 miles long and 5 miles wide with an average depth of 22 feet, letting boaters cast their lines to lure walleye, perch, and bass. Boat Oneida’s vessels allow groups of up to 14 to skirt the gently rippling surface as they angle, swim, and practice jumping out of moving vehicle. Grumman pontoon boats outfitted with Suzuki motors find prime fishing spots with onboard fish and depth finders, whereas sport-fishing boats seat up to six for speedy tubing and cruising.
