The only Pontoon & WaveRunner/Jet Ski Rental Place on Lake Winnebago!

If the driver was born before 1-1-1989 then they automatically have their boater license.  Persons born after 1-1-1989 need a Boater Safety Certificate to drive the boat.  Those people have three options: Temporary License, Permanent License, or ”On The Dock Test”. 

(1) Temporary Boater License (1 hour): CLICK HERE

(2) Permanent Boater License (5+ hours): CLICK HERE

(3) “On The Dock Test” (30 mins): Take a written test upon arrival at the dock and pass with a 80% or higher score

YES!  You can bring along your own food and drinks.  You also may bring a cooler.

If you need special equipment please contact Brad at 920-948-4900.

No one else rents any motorized watercraft on Lake Winnebago.  That means we are the only place that rents Pontoon Boats and/or WaveRunner Jet Skis!  

 No dogs or pets unless you get special permission in writing from Brad at Lake Winnebago Boat & WaveRunner Rentals. 

Our knowledgeable workers will meet you at the dock and show you how to work everything before you go out.  

We always like to be at the dock when you return.  Our workers can help you park and tie up the watercraft.  You can contact our staff for a question or early/late return:

Jake (920) 810-2580

Each renter is required to pay for fuel.  Each watercraft leaves the dock with a full tank of fuel.  Upon completion of your rental you may use the Lakeside Park Marina for gas (pay them directly) or you may elect to pay our staff to fill up the watercraft upon your return.  We charge $40 per quarter of gas used on the Pontoon and $20 per bar of gas used on a WaveRunner.

You can get fuel at the Lakeside Park Marina. It is located less then one mile away from where our watercraft are docked.

We are completely paperless!  After you Reserve and Pay for your Watercraft on this website the final step we require is for the driver of the watercraft to complete our Online Waiver.  Click here to complete this Online Waiver.

Mercury Marine employees get a $200 reimbursement from their employer on any watercraft rented that has a Mercury Outboard Motor. Our pontoon rental boat has a 115 Horse Power Mercury Marine Outboard Engine so it qualifies for that reimbursements. This is a generous employee perk and we are thankful Mercury Marine does this for their employees!

NO!  Renting a boat for the few times a summer you would use one is not expensive.  In fact is financially a smart move if you think about all the money you save.  When renting you do not need to buy your own boat, maintain your own boat, store your own boat, buy a trailer for your own boat, put insurance on your own boat, etc.  

Our rental company takes all the hassle out of the typical boating experience.  

Your price depends on how many total hours you take the watercraft.  The longer you rent the better the deal for you.  For example, our 8 hour Pontoon Rental is $455.  That breaks down to only  $57/hour.  Our Pontoon holds 12 people so that is only $4.75 per person per hour!

We are by appointment only.  Simply reserve and pay for your watercraft on this website and we will have a worker meet you at the dock.
