Marina
There's nothing quite like a Minnesota summer on the water.
Whether you're chasing walleye at dawn, cruising Lake Darling on a sunset pontoon ride, or teaching the kids to paddle a kayak for the first time, our full-service marina is equipped to get you on the water quickly — and keep the day running smoothly.
Pick your pace. We'll handle the rest.
Motorized rentals include the first tank of gas and oil. U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets are provided for every passenger. View the full 2026 pricing sheet for hourly, half-day, and full-day rates.
