What Do I Need to Know About Renting a Boat?

Heading out for a day on the water with friends and family is a dream for many people, and it’s accessible to more of us than you might think. Owning a boat can seem too expensive or bothersome, which we totally get. However, that’s not your only option to take a ride on a boat—in fact, renting one at a marina in Lewiston, CA has never been more popular. All it takes is some basic paperwork and planning, and we can have you on board your personal rental before you know it.

There’s something for everyone

We stock a variety of boats that fit the bill for all different types of renters. If you’re looking for a zippy vessel that you can waterski or tube behind, then our wakeboard boat could be the right fit. If you’re eager for a day out on the water to grill and hang out, then one of our pontoon boats probably fits the bill.

For longer stays, we offer more luxurious options like our custom model. This vessel sports two bathrooms and sleeps up to 10 people. There’s a number of entertainment options as well, including a stereo and a television, and the boat’s cabin is large enough to walk around in. No matter what type of aquatic fun you’re looking to have, chances are we have the right boat for rent at Trinity Alps Marina in Lewiston, CA.

Plan in advance

Some of our most popular boats get booked up well in advance, so if you have your eye on one and are planning a day out, be sure to call us and make sure we can get your name on the schedule. Also, do keep in mind that boating is largely seasonal, even in California, so some times are going to be more popular than others (particularly holidays and long weekends).

Also, one nice thing about renting a boat is that you don’t actually need a boating license. If you were to drive your own or even a friend’s, you would require one, but California law makes it easy to get behind the wheel quickly and easily!

Pack properly

In addition to items like cold drinks and a picnic lunch, you’ll want to remember that the weather can change quickly around here. Be sure you have clothes packed for all seasons—just because it’s sunny at the marina in Lewiston, CA doesn’t mean it’ll be warm when you pick up speed on the water! You should also remember to bring swimsuits, towels, water and the contact information for the marina in case you need to reach them while you’re out on the lake.

Renting a boat is a fun and affordable way to enjoy a day or even a weekend—plus, it’s the ultimate social distancing activity, so it’s perfect for these strange times. If you’d like to learn more about our boat rentals, feel free to give Trinity Alps Marina a call today. We can get you out in the sunshine before you know it!
