image aboutus
We have been in the boat rental business for over 25 years. Whether we’re talking price or availability, Smith Mountain Lake boat rentals begin and end at Bridgewater Marina. We were one of the first on the lake to offer jet ski rentals and have perfected the process. We make sure you have a great time cruising around SML and even more importantly, we make sure you’re safe at all times.

Nobody on the lake can come close to the pontoon boat rentals we offer. Our luxury tritoon boats will completely change the way you think about pontoons. Rent a pontoon boat today and let us make a believer out of you.

Our dockside store has name brand clothing and lots of Smith Mountain Lake apparel that’ll let your friends and family know where you got that great sun tan! In addition to wake board rentals and paddle board rentals, we offer a great selection of wakeboards and paddle boards to purchase. Come in and check out great brands at GREAT prices!

Advance boat rental reservations are recommended for all watercraft rentals of more than 8 hours. However, walk-ins are always welcome. All pontoon boat rental, jet ski rental, and ski boat rental customers will receive a free safety and instructional orientation that meets all of the Commonwealth of Virginia requirements. We offer Smith Mountain Lake’s largest selection of tube, water ski, and wakeboard rentals on a first come-first serve basis. All of our boat rentals and other rental equipment are thoroughly inspected and are well-maintained inside and out to ensure a safe and pleasurable time on Smith Mountain Lake. Book online, call, or visit one of our three locations to begin your Smith Mountain Lake dream vacation!
