How’s the water? 🌡️

We’re keeping a close eye on the temps as we head into mid-June. While the air is starting to feel like summer, the bays are still a bit chilly, but they are gradually warming up every single day! By this weekend we should be into the 60s. 📈

Because it's still early-season, remember to keep your lifejackets handy and wear them while in motion. Not only is it the safest move for your crew, but a vest acts as a great extra layer against that cool June lake breeze! 🛟

Did you know water skiing was born in the Midwest back in 1922? 🌊⛷️

We’ve had over 100 years to perfect the art, and there’s no better place to keep the tradition alive than on the inland lakes of Northern Michigan.

To the brave souls already cutting glass at sunrise—we see you! 🫡 For the rest of us, it’s officially time to get out there and cut it up.

✨ We include one piece of watersports gear (Tubes, Skis, Kneeboards, or Wakeboards) with every rental. ✨

The only hard part about being surrounded by so many beautiful lakes? Having to choose just one! 🏝️

Our early-season pick is Long Lake. It’s one of the quickest inland lakes to warm up and features 5 islands with shallow sandbars—perfect for anchoring and soaking up the sun.

With its calm waters, numerous islands, and abundance of fish, Long Lake is the perfect summer getaway. Water skiers love it because there’s plenty of room. ...

The lakes are waking up! ☀️⚓️

While the air is starting to warm up, the water is still catching up. Inland lakes are usually 5–8 degrees warmer than the bay. If you’re looking for the best spot to cruise, they are the place to be!

If you’re heading out this month, follow these essentials:
🦺 Wear your life jacket
🧣 Dress for the water, not the air
🌊 Stay safe & dry

May is the season for exploring. 🗺️

The waters are still chilly, but they are quiet. A shoreline cruise is the perfect way to soak in the spring sun and see the lakes before the summer rush begins.

Book your Aussie pontoon and get on the water.
