How old do I have to be to rent a boat?

You need to be 21 years old to rent a pontoon boat – any age to ride along!
We will go over all the safety features with you, give you full instructions and rules for boating on Lake George, and provide you with a map of the lake.

Do I need a boating license?

No. A boating license is not necessary, but you must present a valid driver’s license.

What if I’ve never driven a boat?

No problem. It’s simple – like driving a car. The majority of our rentals have never driven a boat before. We go through full instructions with you, and take you out for a short “practice” before your trip.

How many people can fit on a pontoon boat?

The 16’, 25hp pontoon holds 1-5 people. The 24’, 25hp pontoon holds up to 10 people, and the 24’, 50hp pontoon holds up to 12 people. The boats are new, super comfortable, and spotless. It’s like having a couch on the water.

Can I bring a pet?

Yes. Pets are allowed on the boats.

Where am I allowed to go?

Depending on the duration of your outing, we will show you how far up the lake you can travel and how long it takes. You are free to take your time along the way, stop, fish, or do as you please. For your safety, we do not allow waterskiing, tubing or swimming from our boats.

Are we allowed to bring coolers and food? What about alcohol?

Yes, you can bring coolers and food for a picnic on the lake. No alcohol – New York State law prohibits alcohol on boats.

Do I have to pay for gas?

Yes. Gas and taxes are additional.

Do you provide life jackets?

Yes. Life jackets are provided for children and adults, and available in all sizes. It is required that all passengers 12 years old and under wear a life preserver at all times while boating.

What if it is bad weather?

Time credits are issued for any unused time.

Do I need a reservation? What about refunds?

No. We do not take reservations. Rentals are on a first-come-first-serve basis.
There are no cash refunds – time credits will be issued as necessary.

Where are you located?

We are at 204 Canada Street in the Village of Lake George. Enter the Village Mall, walk through the mall and down the stairs to our docks and rental booth.
