Captained pontoon charters for the Candlewood Lake crowd — up to 12 guests, tubing and lake tours included, just 10 minutes north on Lake Lillinonah. Book online today.
If you're searching for a pontoon rental on Candlewood Lake, here's the straight answer: there isn't a captained pontoon charter operating on Candlewood itself. The good news is we're right up the road. Connecticut Water Sports runs captained pontoon charters on Lake Lillinonah in New Milford — about a 10-minute drive north of Candlewood Lake. Up to 12 guests, captain and fuel included, tubing and swim stops on the menu.
For guests in New Fairfield, Brookfield, Sherman, Danbury, and the surrounding Candlewood area, we're the closest professional private boat charter you'll find. Show up, step on the boat, and let the captain handle the rest.
Our launch is at 143 West St, New Milford, CT — a straightforward drive up Route 7 from the Candlewood Lake area. View on Google Maps.
Lake Lillinonah stretches roughly 14 miles up the Housatonic River with quiet coves to anchor in and open water for tubing or wakeboarding if you want a mix.
Plenty of room for a family day, a friends' afternoon, or a small group celebration. Bring your food, drinks, and music — we handle the boat.
Morning glass, midday swim stops, or a sunset cruise — we run charters all day, every day in season.
Your captain knows every stretch of Lillinonah — quiet coves, the best swim spots, and where the light hits at golden hour. Just cruise.
Anchor in a calm cove for a swim, or have the captain tow the kids on a tube. Mix and match across your charter however the group feels.
Up to 12 guests with real seating for everyone. BYOB welcome, dogs welcome, music welcome — bring the party, we drive.
Lake tours, sunset cruises, swim stops, tubing, and group days.
Booked by the hour. Most groups do 2–3 hours. Gratuity not included.
