Litchfield Hills • New Milford, CT

Cruise Past Waterfront Estates & Local Wildlife

Lake Lillinonah sits in the heart of the Litchfield Hills — calm, scenic, and genuinely stunning. Your captain knows every bend, every estate, and the best spots to find local wildlife in action. Cruise past the dramatic cliffs at Lover's Leap, one of the most iconic landmarks in the region, and take in views that guests from Washington, Woodbury, and Litchfield say you just can't find anywhere else.

Thinking about Candlewood? Lake Lillinonah is 10 minutes away — calmer water, no boat traffic, more scenic, and a fraction of the crowds. Guests who've done both say there's no comparison.

  • ✓ Iconic views of Lover's Leap & the Litchfield Hills
  • ✓ Luxury lakefront estates & stunning scenery
  • ✓ Local wildlife sightings along the shore
  • ✓ Smooth, comfortable ride — easy for all ages
  • ✓ Captain navigates — you just enjoy the view
  • ✓ Free professional photos of your day

Something for Everyone

Tube, Cruise & Unwind

Tubing on the pontoon is a great time — smooth, gentle, and perfect for beginners, younger kids, and anyone just getting started. The pontoon cruises up to around 15 mph, which makes for a fun, comfortable ride on the tube. Want a more thrilling pull? We can recommend our watersports boat for that.

Want to relax? Pack lunch, bring your favorite drinks, and let the captain handle everything. BYOB cruises are a guest favorite — tube first, cocktail cruise after. A great fit for seniors, retirees, and anyone who just wants a beautiful day on the water without the fuss.

Book 1 to 4 hours depending on your group. Most guests do 2–3 hours.

Larger Groups & Watersports Add-Ons

Need a Bigger Setup?

Combine our pontoon with our watersports boat to accommodate larger groups. Add wakeboarding, waterskiing, or wakesurfing to the day — kids tube while adults ski, then swap.

Pontoon Charter
★★★★★

"We did a BYOB cruise for my husband's birthday — 10 of us on the pontoon for four hours. The captain took us past gorgeous lakefront estates, we spotted wildlife, and tubed until we couldn't hold on. Best day of the summer."

Melissa R., Fairfield CT
Family Pontoon Charter
★★★★★

"Brought the whole family from 3-year-olds to grandparents. Everyone had a blast — little ones tubed at slow speed with a parent, the teens were flying. The lake is absolutely stunning. We'll be back every summer."

The Kowalski Family, Westchester NY
Birthday Party Charter
★★★★★

"Rented the pontoon for a bachelorette party. We tubed, cruised past beautiful waterfront homes, brought mimosas and snacks. The captain was so much fun. 10/10 — every bride needs to do this."

Jenna T., New Haven CT
Pontoon Charter
★★★★★

"Drove up from NYC for the day and it was absolutely worth it. The lake is gorgeous — spotted wildlife and cruised past beautiful waterfront estates. Captain was knowledgeable and made the whole thing feel effortless."

David L., Manhattan NY

Yes! Guests are welcome to bring alcohol on the pontoon — it's a guest favorite. Our insurance requires that all in-water activities (tubing, swimming) are completed before drinking begins. The most popular setup: tube and swim first, then kick back with drinks for a scenic cocktail cruise. Cheers!
Absolutely — pack a cooler, sandwiches, snacks, whatever you like. There's a small table on board. Just bring your own plates, napkins, and utensils. We provide bottled water.
All ages — we have infant life vests onboard and regularly host senior groups for lake cruises. The pontoon sits level with the dock for easy boarding. Please note the marina has a few steps and a 20-ft ramp to reach the dock.
Yes — well-behaved dogs are welcome on the pontoon! Bring a towel and a leash for boarding. Dogs often love the ride — just let us know when booking so we can plan accordingly.
We've had guests as young as 3 go tubing at gentle speeds with a parent on the tube. We match the speed to the rider — slow and smooth for little ones, and a fun comfortable ride for older guests and beginners. For a more intense experience, ask us about our watersports boat.
