Watercraft

Bull Shoals Lake has over a thousand miles of shoreline and this is a shoreline covered with forest. You may well want to rent a small watercraft to go with your houseboat, to aid in exploring the endless coves and inlets of the lake. Or you may want to rent a bass or fishing boat to get closer to the lake as you cast a line. You may want a ski-boat for the sake of waterskiing rapidly over the massive lake surface. We offer boats and water toys for every occasion. Rates vary by season and the type of equipment. Call one of our experts for pricing details.


Bass and Fishing Boats

A wide variety of fishing boats, from light 16' fishing boats of fiberglass to bass boats and the fully equipped 90 hp Ranger Fisherman, are available at Bull Shoals Lake. Accessories such as trolling motors, fish fingers, lights for night-fighting, life jackets, and rods and reels are also available, as are other accessories you may need. Outbords ranging from 9.9 hp to 150 hp can also be rented.

A sales and rental tax of 7 - 10% applies to all rentals.

Pontoon boats are fantastic for group relaxation, with a canopy keeping you shaded and a compactness that lets you explore coves. Porta pottys are available on the 22', 24', and 34' pontoons. Tube towing is permissable on the 24' and 30' pontoon.

A $75 security deposite is required on all boat rentals. Although pontoon boats are rentable by the hour when available ($35 per hour), rentals for 5 hours or less can be done in afternoon or morning only.

Ski and Deck Boats

Everyone knows that you can zip around the surface of the lake on a ski boat, but what about a deck boat? These are comfortable, quick hybrids of ski boats and pontoons, excellent for small groups. You can either lounge or waterski - it's the best of both worlds.

A $75 security deposit is required on all boat rentals. For a $25 charge, you can bring a pet on a ski or deck boat. You may rent a deck or ski boat by the hour for $35 per hour, when available.
