Once all drivers have arrived, we will verbally review the boat contract with your party, explaining all insurance information, rules, regulations, and safety guidelines. The primary renter and all intended drivers will sign the boat rental contract. A representative will walk you to the boat to point out all safety equipment, ropes, anchor, undamaged propeller, Lake Murray map, and radio.

Yes, we do allow dogs on our boats. Any damage due to pet claws, chewing, etc. will be the renter’s responsibility. Also, if the boat is excessively dirty due to the pet that may require a pressure washing, an extra cleaning fee may be charged. 

Grills will not be allowed on the boat at all. If you would like to grill out, there is a grilling area at the landing for no charge. Bring your own supplies. Gas generators are also not allowed.

Yes, we do allow all water sports from our pontoon boats. All pontoons can be fun for tubing if not too weighted down with occupants. We rent tubes from the landing for $35 for one day, $10 each additional day. Check specials tab for any current specials on tubes!

Upon check-in we will answer any questions you have about area businesses on the lake. You will also have the opportunity to borrow or buy ($10) a Lake Murray map for reference. However, if you or anyone in your party has a smart phone, using Google Maps is recommended. If your phones GPS location is turned on, you will be able to view your actual location on the map. As you move along the water, an arrow moves along with you to show you your location. You can enter in any address of any Lake Murray business and it will pin it on the map for you to see your destination. Visit the Landing & Area Info tab to view local businesses pinpointed on a Google map.

If the National Weather Service forecast is calling for at least a 70% chance of rain within 24 hours of your day of rental or if it is raining at the landing the time of your scheduled 9:00 am pickup or if there is a small craft wind advisory for Lake Murray; a cancellation can be issued with a full refund. Full refunds are also allowed as long as you cancel at least ten days prior to the reservation. In addition, the credit card on file will be charged ten days prior to the reservation as you are contractually obligated to pay off the full balance in this time frame. We will send a payment reminder before charging the card. No other refunds will be issued for any reason within the 10 day period prior to the reservation.

Parking is FREE, however parking is limited and therefore we have marked off a location for cars that are renting boats vs. cars and trucks that are pulling boat trailers. Someone will be there to assist with parking.
