Lagoon Pontoons Reviews
"Fun for all ages"
Family outing on a pontoon. 6 adults, 1ten year old, 1 six year old, 1 four, 1 three and one that just turned one. All ages enjoyed cruising the bay, going uo beside the jetties, down the far end of Shell island. We anchored at Shell Island but the water was too cold (for us) and the wind was pretty strong. The pontoon was awesome! Clean, up to date, and plenty of storage for all the items we needed for kids and adults of all ages. Definitely will be visiting them again.
