Clear Rules on Where You Can Go and What It Costs

Rentals require a damage deposit and fuel is charged separately; there are also firm area restrictions—most notably that the boat may not visit the Lake Clarke Sandbar and must remain in at least 5 feet of water.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

Launch from the marina for a day that can shift from lazy drift-fishing to adrenaline-fueled tubing; the deck boat’s layout makes moving between casting, relaxing, and rigging a tow quick and intuitive, while the 140 hp engine keeps the boat responsive for short bursts of speed or steady cruising with a full load.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits best—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Groups and Day PartiesUp to eight people can share the deck comfortably—ideal for groups wanting a mix of tubing, fishing, and cruising—as long as the group includes a qualified driver who meets the operator’s age and certification rules.
2
AnglersThe boat offers space and stability for fishing, but anglers must bring their own gear and account for passenger limits; it’s a practical choice for small fishing parties.
3
Families with ChildrenFamilies can rent this boat, but every person aboard counts toward the eight-person limit (including infants), and the designated driver must meet the age and certification requirements.
4
Renters Seeking a Captained TripNot a match—Long Level Marina does not supply a captain; you must bring someone from your party who meets the operator’s driving requirements.
