The boat
Brand new 2026 Sylvan A20 pontoon available exclusively on Lake Minnetonka. Comfortable seating for up to 10, power sun shade, Bluetooth stereo, GPS and depth finder, easy to use boarding ladder powered by a reliable and quiet Yamaha 50HP outboard.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL MINNESOTA RENTERS:
- Minnesota Statute 86B.306 requires ANY operator of ANY age (18+) of ANY rental watercraft have a valid Watercraft Operator’s Permit. Sec. 86B.306 MN Statutes
- How do I get a Minnesota Watercraft Operators Permit?
- Option 1: 180 day temporary permit
- Option 2: Permanent / Lifetime Minnesota permit
- https://boattests101.com/united-states/minnesota
- Please note that these legislative changes are confusing: a very similar boating law passed at the same time which requires a watercraft operator’s permit based on age, phase-in time until 2028, to ensure every boater born after July 1, 1987 to operate their own / private watercraft. This is NOT the rental law and while similar, does not apply to rental watercraft.
- All operators of rented watercraft must have a valid Watercraft Operator Permit, regardless of age.
*BOOKING WITHOUT THE APPROPRIATE WATERCRAFT OPERATOR’S PERMIT OR FAILING TO OBTAIN ONE PRIOR TO DEPARTURE WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR REFUND*
