Why Fall Is the Best Time to Get on the Water at Lake of the Ozarks
Calm Water, Colorful Shorelines, Trusted Crew
Fall on the lake means smooth cruising, vibrant foliage, and fewer wakes. Captain Bob’s Boat Rentals & Charters has served visitors and locals for years with clean, well-maintained boats and a friendly, safety-focused team that makes getting on the water easy.
Boat Rentals vs. Captained Charters
Enjoy the lake your way:
- Standard Boat Rental: You take the helm and explore at your own pace (must meet Missouri boating requirements).
- Captained Charter: A professional captain handles the driving, docking, and navigation while you relax and take in the views.
Both options include the same commitment to safety, clear instructions at check-in, and easy online booking.
Why Fall Boating Rocks
- Fewer crowds for peaceful cruising and easier docking.
- Glassy conditions ideal for relaxing, tubing, and sightseeing.
- Cooler temps perfect for cozy golden-hour rides and photos.
Multi-day rentals are available if you’re planning a longer lake stay. Ask our team about availability and details.
Pro Tips for a Perfect Fall Boat Day
- Dress in layers—mornings and evenings can feel crisp on open water.
- Plan a golden-hour departure for rich colors and calm water.
- Consider a captained charter for a totally stress-free experience.
