It depends on the adventure. Pontoons are perfect for all ages including young children and grandparents with no height or age restrictions. For UTVs, ATVs, and jet skis all passengers must be at least 46 inches tall. If you are coming with little ones we recommend starting with a pontoon rental and adding a UTV or jet ski experience for the older kids and adults in the group. Give us a call at 715-227-3004 and we can help you put together the right combination for your family.
