Family Boat Rentals & Lake Days at Lake of the Ozarks
Planning a day on the water with the family? We make it easy to get everyone together for cruising, swimming, tubing and time on Lake of the Ozarks.
From our Osage Beach location, we offer tritoon and pontoon rentals for families looking for anything from a laid-back day on the water to an afternoon filled with watersports. Add a tube, Maui Mat or other water toy and build the day around what your crew enjoys most.
If this is your first time boating at the lake, our staff can help you get comfortable with the boat and answer questions before you head out. Our goal is simple: great boats, friendly service and an easy rental experience.
Build a Lake Day Around Your Family
There isn’t one right way to spend a day at Lake of the Ozarks. You might want to cruise and take in the lake, find time for swimming, bring out the tube or mix a little activity with plenty of time to relax.
Having your own rental boat gives you the flexibility to decide what the day looks like.
Cruise & Explore
Spend some time seeing Lake of the Ozarks from the water. Cruise together, enjoy the scenery and explore at your own pace.
Swim & Relax
When everyone is ready to cool off, make swimming part of the day. A Maui Mat can add another place to relax, float and enjoy the water while the boat is stopped.
Get Out the Water Toys
For kids, teens and adults looking for more action, tubes, water skis, wakeboards and kneeboards can be added to your rental.
You don’t have to choose between an active day and a relaxing one. Mix things up and make the time on the lake work for everyone.
Choose a Boat Rental That Fits Your Plans
We offer tritoon and pontoon rentals in Osage Beach for families spending time at Lake of the Ozarks. Our boats are suited for everything from cruising and relaxing to tubing and watersports.
Features vary by boat, so it’s worth looking at the current fleet when you reserve. Depending on the boat you choose, available features can include shade canopies, Bluetooth audio and equipment for towing water toys.
Think about what you want to do before choosing your rental. A simple cruise and swim may call for a different kind of day than one filled with tubing, watersports and several stops around the lake.
If you’re staying in Lake Ozark, Linn Creek or elsewhere around the lake, our Osage Beach location gives you a convenient place to start your day.
Add More Fun With Tubes, Maui Mats & Watersports
The boat gets you onto Lake of the Ozarks. The extras help make the day your own.
We offer several water toys and watersports options that can be added to your boat rental, so you can plan the activities you want before heading out.
Towable Tubes
Add a tube for anyone in the group who wants a little more excitement behind the boat.
Maui Mats
A Maui Mat gives your group extra floating space to relax, play and spend time together when the boat is stopped.
Water Skis, Wakeboards & Kneeboards
Want to spend more of the day moving? Water skis, wakeboards and kneeboards are also available.
Choose what sounds fun to your group. You can spend part of the day playing on the water and the rest simply enjoying being out on the lake.
What to Know Before You Head Out With the Family
A little preparation can make the day much easier, especially if you’re bringing children or boating at Lake of the Ozarks for the first time.
We provide life jackets and required safety equipment with our boat rentals. Before you leave, we’ll also walk you through the boat and help you get familiar with it.
For everything else, think about what your group will need to stay comfortable throughout the day.
- Sunscreen
- Towels
- Snacks
- Drinks
- A cooler
- Personal items for the day
If you’re adding water toys, we can also show you how to attach tow ropes or set up your floating mat before you leave.
