2 x pontoon style boats, both have a shade cloth roof, with one seating 6 pax and the other 8 pax (one has a 15hp Yamaha motor and the other a 9.9hp Mercury). There is NO speedboat tender boat.

Please Note: Tender Boats are for fishing and game drives, distance dependant on fuel available. Clients are permitted to drive the boats IF they produce a valid Skippers Licence, otherwise the boats are strictly crew driven. If you would like to bring your own speedboat to be towed behind the houseboat, one of the houseboat tenders will be left behind, as towing 3 boats causes damage (please bring your own rope for towing and fuel.) (Contact us for details).
