You don’t need to own a boat to enjoy the crystal clear waters of Table Rock Lake and the spectacular Missouri Ozark Mountain scenery that surrounds it. You can explore the coves as you follow the more than 750 miles of shoreline. You can fish, swim, parasail, scuba dive and much more. Finding the right boat for the day’s activities is easy. Let’s say you’re staying at one of the lake’s premier accommodations, The Lodges at Table Rock. This lodge in Branson is also known as the Silver Dollar City lodge because of its proximity to that famous theme park. Among lodges at Table Rock Lake, The Lodges at Table Rock is popular with families and groups who enjoy the convenience of a private lodge with a full kitchen and many other amenities. From The Lodges at Table Rock, it’s only a few minutes’ drive to several marinas that offer affordable boat rentals: Port of Kimberling Marina. Located just 15 miles west of Branson, Port of Kimberling rents ski boats, pontoon boats, WaveRunners and houseboats. The marina has been in operation for more than 30 years. What’s Up Dock? Marina. A part of the Port of Kimberling complex, What’s Up Dock? is a full-service marina. You can rent a ski boat, bass boat or WaveRunner. At the shop, you can purchase drinks, ice, snacks, apparel and boating accessories, as well as fuel. State Park Marina. This marina offers boat and WaveRunner rentals, as well as parasailing, scuba diving and daily cruises on the 48-foot sailing catamaran the Spirit of America. In the store, you can buy sportswear, bait, tackle, drinks, snacks and more. Table Rock Lake Pontoon Rentals. The area’s largest pontoon rental operation, Table Rock Lake Pontoon Rentals is close to Branson and Silver Dollar City. Its pontoon boats are a great alternative for relaxing on the water and ideal for fishing, swimming and scuba diving. There are some rules governing boating in Missouri, and some of them are relatively new. So it’s a good idea to learn about them now before you try to rent a boat. In 2005, Missouri passed a law mandating that people born after January 1, 1984, who wish to operate vessels on the state’s lakes must complete a boating safety education course approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators. To demonstrate that they have completed the course and meet the law’s requirements, operators born after January 1, 1984, must carry a card issued by the Water Patrol. Of you’re not from Missouri and wish to operate a boat on Table Rock Lake even though you were born after January 1, 1984, you can request a 30-day permit. You can contact the boat rental company to learn the details. When you’re planning a visit to Missouri’s playground, contact Table Rock Lodge reservations or visit www.LodgesAtTableRock.com. The Lodges at Table Rock is a great place to start — and stay.
