Harbor Country, located along the shores of Lake Michigan, is a well-loved spot for summer fun with its sandy beaches and warm waters.

Picture yourself sprawling out on this giant mat, feeling the sun on your face, or engaging in friendly competition with family or friends to see who can stay on the longest.

Whether you're lounging, tossing a frisbee, or challenging each other to push contests, this inflatable creates a lively centerpiece right on the lake. It’s perfect for groups seeking lighthearted fun, and because it's suitable for one to three days, you can plan a weekend of floating festivities. Aside from the sheer joy of the experience, Maui Mats transform a typical beach day into a memorable gathering that keeps everyone energized. Plus, they’re easy to set up and pack away, making them an accessible option for families, groups, or even individual adventurers looking to add variety to their lake visits.
Harbor Country's scenic shoreline, with its gentle waves and clear waters, is the perfect backdrop for a day on the water with Maui Mat Rentals. It’s a local secret that leverages the area's natural beauty to deliver a one-of-a-kind aquatic experience. The mats ensure everyone, regardless of kayaking skills or swimming ability, can enjoy the water safely while having a blast.

Route Schematic
Simple launch, long lake days
A straightforward sequence from beach to buoy keeps the focus on sun and water: carry, deploy, tether, enjoy.
Beach carry
Bring the packed Maui Mat to shore — plan for two people to move the 32 lb unit and set it near the waterline for inflation and deployment.
Deploy and secure
Inflate and affix the included tether system so the mat sits stable in the lake; store straps keep it compact when not in use.
Float and play
With the mat secured you’ve got an open platform for lounging, games, and playful pushes into the water across the 132 sq ft surface.
Pack and stow
When your session ends, deflate or compact the mat, fasten the storage straps and carry it back to your vehicle or storage spot.
Renters must be 18 or older to rent; plan for two people to move the 32 lb mat and follow any on-water safety guidance. Operator may adjust deployment procedures based on beach slope and wind conditions.
