A concise guide to the region’s premium multi‑day and full‑day rentals — tri‑toons, wakeboats and Sea‑Doos with capacities, age rules and operator notes so you can pick the right craft for your group.

Calhoun, Tennessee, serves as a low‑profile base for accessing a cluster of luxury boat fleets and personal watercraft operators in nearby Morganton, Mineral Bluff, Chatsworth and Chattanooga.

Whether you’re organizing a family day on the water, a wakeboarding weekend, or a multi‑day cruise with a larger group, the regional suppliers listed here provide distinct craft and operational rules to match different priorities: capacity and stability for social afternoons, powerful wakeboats for watersports, or nimble Sea‑Doos for solo performance. Each operator supplies check‑in procedures, age and licensing requirements, and on‑water support.

01 · Multi‑day comfort

24' Tritoonz — roomy, stable multi‑day cruising

2–7 daysUp to 12 guests
24-foot tritoon on a calm lake with groups aboard
A 24' tritoon built for larger groups and extended days on the water.

This 24' Tritoons model is set up for relaxed, extended use: a 150 HP 4‑stroke outboard gives steady cruising power and the deck layout is meant to carry groups while leaving room for coolers and shade. The operator notes the craft is intended for parties of up to 12 and supports multi‑day bookings, making it a practical choice if you plan to base several days of lake time around a single boat. Shuttle transportation to the water is provided, and operators ask renters to arrive 30–45 minutes before departure to complete checks and briefings.

Practical rules are prominent in the listing: there’s a pet fee ($50 per pet, max two), renters must meet insurance age requirements (typically 23+), and boater education is required if you were born before 1/1/98. BYOB is permitted onboard but alcohol is not allowed on the dock or premises; a designated driver is required for any onboard alcohol consumption. These restrictions are typical for multi‑day charters that balance convenience with safety and liability management.

02 · For wake sports

Moomba 20' — a high‑power wakeboat for serious riders

2–7 daysUp to 10 people

The Moomba 20' is equipped with ballast tanks and a wake plate for customizable waves.

The Moomba is a purpose‑built wakeboat: 20 feet long, 325 HP, and outfitted with a wake plate plus three ballast tanks that can create significant wakes within minutes. The craft seats up to 10 people or 1,700 lbs and includes safety features such as a shallow water alarm. Dock staff are on call during rentals to supply life vests, extra gas or accessories, which makes it easier to focus on sports rather than logistics.

Reserve this boat if the aim is watersports performance: the listing highlights delivery to lake houses (dock access required), a $1,500 security authorization hold, and a firm minimum age of 25 to rent or operate. Operators also note that gas is deducted from the deposit and that launch is restricted to the operator’s permitted lakes; these are standard insurance‑driven rules for high‑performance rentals.

03 · Sporty solo & duo rides

GTI's New Sea‑Doos — modern PWCs with comfort features

2–7 daysUp to 3 people
Two‑seat Sea‑Doo on the water with Bluetooth speakers
GTI Sea‑Doos include cruise control, ECO mode and Bluetooth audio for a modern ride.

The GTI Sea‑Doos are contemporary personal watercraft configured for comfort and control: cruise control, ECO mode, reverse and integrated Bluetooth speakers make them a strong choice for short high‑performance outings or paired rentals. They’re offered with delivery options; the operator handles launching so guests don’t have to trailer the craft themselves, and staff provide a safety tutorial and fitting for life jackets before departure.

Operational policies are explicit: renters must be at least 25 to operate, gas is charged to the card on file (the craft comes full and fuel used is deducted), and several waiver and check‑in processes must be completed in advance. Daily rentals are structured as 4‑ or 8‑hour durations, with multi‑day options available. The operator emphasizes care while docking and storage, warning that damage to new craft may result in significant charges.

04 · Family fun

30' Tritoon with Slide — play‑focused and safety minded

Full dayUp to 10 people

A 30' tritoon outfitted for family play; life jackets are provided by the operator.

This 30‑foot tritoon listing is positioned squarely as a family activity: operators provide life jackets, and the boat’s play features — such as a slide — make it ideal for children and mixed‑age groups. The rental does not include anchors, and the operator requests no pets, grills or smoking aboard. Fuel is not included and must be purchased from the marina’s fuel dock.

To rent this craft you should have a completed boat safety certificate and a valid driver’s license; the minimum age to rent is 25. The operator frames the boat as an uncomplicated, safety‑forward choice for a full‑day on the water where the emphasis is on supervised family fun rather than high‑performance watersports.

05 · Day boat option

24' Tritoonz — half‑ or full‑day luxury cruising

4–8 hoursUp to 12 guests
Daytime tritoon rental with passengers lounging in the sun
A 24' tritoon set up for half‑day or full‑day outings with shuttle service available.

This variant of the 24' Tritoons is optimized for day trips: it’s the same 150 HP platform designed to carry up to 12 guests but offered in shorter windows (4–8 hours) for those who prefer a single‑day experience. Like its multi‑day sibling, the operator requests early arrival — at least 30 minutes prior — for checks and safety briefings and offers shuttle access to the water.

Rental rules mirror the longer‑term option: age and insurance‑related minimums (often 23+), boater education if required by birth date, pet fees for animals aboard, and strict policies around glass and dock‑area alcohol. For groups who want a single predictable day without overnight logistics, this is an efficient luxury choice.

06 · High‑capacity cruiser

Full Day | 25' Tri‑Toon — luxury full‑day from Chickamauga

8 hours (10a–6p)Up to 15 people
25' Harris cruiser tri‑toon with Bimini and Bluetooth stereo
A Harris Cruiser 25' tri‑toon — high capacity, Bluetooth stereo and full marina support.

Erwin Boat Rentals’ 25' Harris Cruiser is notable for capacity and on‑water amenities: a Mercury Sea Pro 150 HP engine, room for up to 15 guests, dual helm seats, a 12' Bimini top and a Fusion Bluetooth stereo. The operator provides life jackets and an anchor; the craft’s dimensions and features are tailored for a comfortable, sociable full‑day from Chickamauga Marina.

The listing includes explicit scheduling and rate information: the full‑day window runs 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Eastern), and the operator lists amenities such as a fuel dock, restrooms and ample parking at the marina. The operator’s published full‑day rate and marina services position this option as the go‑to for larger groups wanting a single full‑service day on the lake.

How to choose

Match the trip to the story you want from the destination

Pick the Moomba wakeboatIf your priority is wakeboarding or surfing, ballooning ballast and 325 HP deliver purpose‑built wakes and performance.
Go with the Sea‑DoosFor sporty, modern PWCs and shorter, high‑energy outings or a paired experience for two or three riders.
Reserve the 30' tritoon with slideIf a family‑friendly, play‑focused day with life jackets provided and simple operations is your top concern.

Before you go

Four practical planning checks

01
Confirm age and license rules

Operators commonly require renters to be 25 (wakeboats, PWCs) or 23+ (some tritoons) and may require boater education documentation depending on birth year.

02
Expect security holds and fuel charges

High‑performance boats can trigger sizeable authorization holds (e.g., $1,500). Most listings charge for fuel used and deduct it from a deposit.

03
Complete waivers and arrive early

Many operators require waivers and pre‑rental paperwork; plan to arrive 15–45 minutes early for check‑in and safety briefings.

04
Pack practical non‑negotiables

Bring approved life jackets if you prefer your own, spray sunscreen (not lotion if disallowed), towels, snacks and a change of clothes.
