Maine Pontoon Boat Rentals

Yes & No! 

Only for individuals looking to operate motorized equipment born after January 1st 1999. 

Passengers wanting to pay and "rent" do not need any type of license. 

Starting January 1st 2024, the State of Maine will require any individual wanting to operate rented equipment to obtain a boaters license if the individual is born after January 1st 1999. 

If an individual is born before January 1st 1999, the individual is not required to obtain a license in order to operate motorized equipment. 

Already have a license?

There is no need for an additional license if you have previously acquired a NASBLA Approved license from another state.

We only accept Credit Cards. We do not accept cash or debit cards. This is to allow us to eliminate the need to hold a deposit on any of our guests bank cards. We do not require a deposit and believe this is the proper way to rent equipment. 

Our insurance requires our guests who would like to rent and/or operate be 18 years of age with a valid drivers license or passport. This includes all Boats and Waverunners.

Due to our insurance, we are not allowed to let guests tow equipment to their waterway of choice. We do offer complimentary delivery with a 3 day minimum rental up to 30 minutes away.

All of our Pontoon Boats are equipped with a tow bar. We also include a complimentary tube with every rental.

Dogs are currently the only pet we allow on our vessels.
