They keep things simple and transparent—fuel is included in the advertised price, and the team makes check-in a breeze so you spend more time on the water and less time on the dock. Keowee Marina

What can you rent?
Pontoons (fan-favorite for groups): Spacious layouts, easy handling, and comfy seating make pontoons the go-to for family reunions, birthday floats, and slow-roll sightseeing. Expect plush seating, bimini shade, and Bluetooth-ready stereos.
Tritoons & Sport-toons (more zip, same comfort): If you’re planning to tow or just want extra punch and stability, tritoons and sport-toons offer higher horsepower with the same roomy footprint. They’re perfect for mixed-age groups that want both lounge time and lively runs across the lake.
Center console fishing boat: Prefer casting lines to pulling tubes? The compact center console seats a small crew and is set up for angling and exploring, minus the tow gear.
Paddle sports: Looking for peace and quiet? The marina also offers kayaks and paddleboards—great for sunrise paddles or winding through quiet coves.
Pick the right boat for your day
- Family float & swim coves: Choose a pontoon—stable, roomy, and ideal for picnics and swim stops.
- Tow-friendly adventure: Go tritoon/sport-toon for stronger acceleration and confident handling when the lake gets busy.
- Laid-back fishing morning: The center console keeps the footprint small and the focus on the bite.
