 2. Tubing Behind a Pontoon Boat   

What’s better than a boat day? A tubing day! Rent a pontoon from TC Watersports, hook up a towable tube, and let the giggles begin. Tubing is a great way for kids to burn energy, enjoy the thrill of the waves, and cool off under the summer sun.

Parents can relax onboard with snacks and drinks while the kids bounce and splash to their heart’s content.

 3. Swimming at Clinch Park Beach   

Just a short drive from our rental dock, Clinch Park Beach is a family favorite. With lifeguards on duty, shallow swimming areas, and a splash pad for toddlers, it’s a safe and exciting spot for water play. Pack a picnic, rent your water toys with us, and make it a full beach day!

 4. Paddleboarding Adventures   

Introduce kids to the joy of stand-up paddleboarding! It’s easy to learn, tons of fun, and a great way to build confidence on the water. Our kid-friendly paddleboards are lightweight and stable, perfect for beginners who want to paddle near the shore or explore hidden coves with their parents.

 5. Wildlife Spotting from a Kayak   

Traverse City’s calm inlets and coves are teeming with life — and there’s no better way to explore them than by kayak. Kids love spotting turtles, ducks, fish, and even the occasional bald eagle. Our double kayaks make it easy for parents and kids to paddle together and create real-life nature documentaries of their own!
