Self-Care on the Water

This year has been a rough one for a lot of us, so prioritizing self-care is more important than ever these days. As the best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks, BomBay Boat Rental Co. has some great ideas of how to take care of your physical and mental health this season. Keep reading to learn more!


Beautiful Landscapes


The Lake of the Ozarks has incredible landscapes that you will love to see, particularly in the fall. The Lake of the Ozarks has won second place as the most beautiful fall foliage in the United States, so you won't want to miss out on this beautiful fall season. With Ha Ha Tonka State Park and Lake of the Ozarks State Park, there are a lot of gorgeous places to spend time with the family. Witnessing the beautiful nature from the water is even better! BomBay Boat Rental has the best boats for rent at the Lake of the Ozarks, so you can enjoy the beautiful views from the best vantage point. 


Spending Time Around Water


There have been several studies that have shown that the presence of water can have some great health benefits. In fact, some studies have shown that living near water can help lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the brain and heart. The peacefulness of water at the lake in the fall can be calming and very relaxing. Many people schedule their vacations at the Lake for September and October for that very reason!


Fun & Family


Boating is an incredibly fun activity to enjoy with the whole family and all your closest friends. If you are looking for a great way to unwind and spend time with the people that mean the most, give boating a try! Weather you're just cruising around the water or giving skiing and wakeboarding a try, we're sure you're going to love it. 

Boat Rentals at the Lake 


If boating at the Lake of the Ozarks sounds like a great time to you, give BomBay Boat Rental a call to reserve your watercraft. Have a great time on the lake with one of our rentals. We have the best ski boats, jet skis, and tritoons available!

Don't Miss These Lake Events!

After Labor Day, a lot of people assume the Lake is winding down and there's nothing left to do but pack up and go home for the off-season. That couldn't be further from the truth! 

While there is less traffic and the temperatures have cooled off somewhat, BomBay Boat Rental Co. sees these as huge bonuses to enjoying a vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks in September and October. Not only is it easier to get around and less humid and hot, but there are also incredible events and fun things to do throughout the fall season. Keep reading to learn more about why you are going to want to reserve your rental and take advantage of these activities! 


New Race Event! 

This year, a new race is coming to the Lake of the Ozarks that will be a lot like Lake Race and the Shootout Lake of the Ozarks. This event is called Offshore at the Ozarks, and you won't want to miss this great event. 

The official sponsor and host are the Performance Boat Center and the Offshore Powerboat Association, and it will be held October 2nd (Friday) through October 3rd (Saturday). Similar to the Lake Race, these races will take place between the five and nine mile markers in front of Camden on the Lake. 

Get out and continue to enjoy the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks and witness this fun new-to-the-lake racing event with a boat rental from BomBay Boat Rental

Annual Fishing Tournament

Not a professional fisherman but would love the chance to win big bucks in a fun competition? Then the Big Bass Bash is for you. Every year, amateur anglers come to the Lake of the Ozarks to compete for the grand prize of $100,000! Even if you don't get first place, there are over 280 prizes that will be awarded to other placements, so you are not going to want to miss out on this fun time.

You can launch from anywhere on the Lake of the Ozarks and weigh-in at any of these five locations to hopefully win a big prize: 
  1. PB#2
  2. Red Oak Resort
  3. Ivy Bend
  4. Alhonna Resort
  5. Point Randall
This event will take place October 3rd (Saturday) through October 4th (Sunday). Although it will overlap with the Offshore at the Ozarks races, times have been adjusted so that there isn't a major conflict, and boats will be allowed to move through the race course during the tournament.

Reserve Your Rental!

Benefits of Fall Boating at the Lake!

Many people think that boating and enjoying the water is over once Labor Day has come and gone. But that's not true! These pastimes can be enjoyed well into the fall and can be even more fun and relaxing in some respects. BomBay Boat Rental Co. is the best boat and jet ski rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks, and today we are bringing you several great reasons why boating can be even better in the fall. Keep reading to learn more!

Natural Beauty


Mid-Missouri has incredible year-round beauty! Here at the Lake of the Ozarks, the leaves will soon change to a rainbow of fall colors, and the entire area will look like it came straight out of a painting! In fact, the Lake of the Ozarks has been awarded second place for the most beautiful fall foliage in the United States. Seeing this from the water can make it even more special.

Peaceful Fall Atmosphere


With less people milling about on the Lake in the fall, there is a lot of peace and serenity to be enjoyed. Get out on the water during the fall and you will truly experience the beauty of the Lake of the Ozarks without all of the noisy distractions. Nature can truly shine through in the months of September and October at the Lake. 

Less Traffic on Land & Water


The Lake of the Ozarks tends to have a lot of traffic in the summertime. Not only on the roads, but also on the water. With kids out of school, there are a lot of families coming down to the lake and getting out on the water in summer. In the fall, as school picks back up, traffic dies down and there are a lot fewer cars and boats out and about to navigate around. 

Less Choppy Rides


With less traffic on the Lake, you can enjoy a much smoother riding experience on the boat. Fewer boats mean fewer waves, which means a much more calm and relaxing day for you!

More Parking


Many of the waterfront bars and restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks stay open as long as the weather allows, and we have a lot of beautiful days ahead of us before it's too cold to get to those places. You will have no trouble finding an open slip to dock your boat rental and enjoy your favorite waterfront hot spot!

Less Waiting in Lines 


Once you make your way up from the dock, it is very likely that you will be seated right away in the fall season. And, with fewer customers, the cooks and bartenders will be able to whip up your favorites much quicker than they were able to in mid-summer.

Fall Boat Rental at the Lake 


Summer isn't the only time you can get out on the water and enjoy the Lake of the Ozarks! Enjoy the beauty, peace, and convenience that the fall season provides with a boat rental from BomBay Boat Rental! We have the best boat rentals at the Lake, and our service and prices are incomparable!

10 Items You Should Bring Boating

A day out on the water is a perfect escape from everyday worries that may be bringing you down. Our boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks has some great boat and PWC rental options available and four locations around the Lake of the Ozarks. As you choose what type of vessel and which BomBay Boat Rental location to rent from, you're likely thinking of the items you need to pack for your next day out on the water. We have you covered with our complete list below:


License

In the state of Missouri, you have to have a boating license in order to operate a boat, even if you are just renting. Make sure you either keep this with your boating supplies or in your wallet so you'll have it.

Phone

Having your phone handy is important for a number of reasons. You can quickly make a phone call if something doesn't go as planned on the water. You can also check the weather if a storm looks like it's rolling in. Another perk is to be able to take photos of your fun day on the boat!

Sunscreen

The sun can cause serious damage to skin, if you don't use sunscreen. Protecting your skin is important for an enjoyable boating experience (and you'll thank yourself the next few days after, too).

Snacks

A day on the water makes you hungry! Pack non-perishable food items, like crackers or granola bars to ensure your crew can fight those hunger pains. You can also pack a cooler with a complete meal, if you plan on spending more than a few hours on the water.

Towels

You'll likely want to swim to cool off in the hot summer heat. Once you get back on the boat, it can be uncomfortable to be wet. A towel can help keep you and your seat on the boat dry, after swimming.

Spare Clothing

Clothing can easily get wet or blow out of the boat. Try to pack an extra pair of clothing for everyone on board so you can ensure you have clothes if you decide to stop for a bite to eat or for a more comfortable ride home, after your day on the water.


Water

Staying hydrated is important, especially in the hot summer temps. Pack plenty of water for your entire boating crew to stay hydrated and healthy on your boat outing.

Eye Protection

The bright summer sun can take a toll on your eyes. Bring sunglasses or a hat to try to shade your eyes from the direct sun.

Floats

If you're planning to swim in the water during your day on the boat, bring floats for everyone on board. This gives swimmers something to hold on to while floating in the water. It's more relaxing for everyone that way!

First Aid Kit

While no one plans on injuries on the water, it does happen from time to time. Bringing a first aid kit can help you take care of minor injuries that may occur while boating or swimming in the water.

Now that you know some of the items you should pack for your next boating adventure, you're ready to schedule your boat rental at the Lake of the Ozarks. We have four convenient locations to pick up your rental so you're likely close to one of them already! Book your rental with BomBay Boat Rental Company today!

Perks of Renting a Wave Runner

Are you dreaming of getting out on the water this summer but aren't sure what kind of watercraft to rent at the Lake of the Ozarks? BomBay Boat Rental is here for you! We have a ton of rental options available and we're pointing out the perks of renting a wave runner at the Lake of the Ozarks today. Check it out!


An All Around Fun Experience

You'll find this out very soon after you begin riding, but before you do, we can assure you that you will have the time of your life. They are fast and put you a little bit closer to the water than you are on a boat. You can get into smaller areas, letting you explore more. It's extra fun to rent a few with friends and race to all of the cool spots that the Lake of the Ozarks has to offer. After you jump a couple of wakes from some of the bigger boats out there, your adventurous spirit will be hooked.

Maneuver Easily on the Water

This particular jet ski is the only watercraft of its kind that comes with an on-water brake. This means that you will be able to come to a stop up to 100 feet sooner than on other jet skis. The brake is located on the left side of the handlebar, meaning you never have to take your hands away from them. Squeezing the brake lever brings you to a stop, and squeezing it again while stopped will put the PWC in reverse. This makes docking a breeze. These extra features make it easy for even a beginner to pick up this exciting sport.

Do Your Own Thing

Spending time with your crew is fun, but sometimes it's nice to do your own thing. A wave runner gives you the chance to break away in a small group or by yourself for a few hours of fun! Cruise down the lake or float in a cove and take in the breathtaking scenery around the area. Either way, it's sure to be a memorable and relaxing time away from your big group!


More Fuel Efficient

Our jet skis are lightweight, and the compact design makes it easy to get them into the water and get you on your way. Another great bonus is the fact that they are extremely fuel-efficient. That means lots of cruising around the Lake for less money spent on gas when compared to a large boat.

What are you waiting for? Now's the perfect time to book your wave runner rental at the Lake of the Ozarks. Lucky for you, we have FOUR locations around the lake so there's one conveniently located near you!

Some studies also say that being near a large body of water can help decrease anxiety, lower your blood pressure, and boost your mood. Incredible!

If you're planning to make some fruit kabobs, why not utilize the rest of your skewers for some delicious Caprese salad skewers! It may feel like a little bit of work putting everything together, but trust us, once you're on the boat grabbing a skewer will make snack time easy! 

Ingredients

Cherry tomatoes
Mozzarella balls
Fresh Basil
Olive Oil
1 cup balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

Instructions 

  1. Assemble, tomatoes, basil (roll from one end to the other), and mozzarella balls on medium-sized toothpicks. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. To make balsamic glaze, add one cup of balsamic vinegar to a saucepan over medium heat. Once it comes to a boil, set on simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it reduces to a syrup consistency. You can check by dipping a spoon in the balsamic and if it covers the back of it, it's done. As it cools, it will thicken a bit more, then drizzle on top of Caprese salad skewers.

6 Must-Know Tubing Safety Tips

Tubing is a great activity that can make your day on the water an even more fun and adventurous experience! Boating at the Lake of the Ozarks is already incredibly fun, but when you add the thrill of riding behind the boat on a tube, it's hard to beat! One thing that BomBay Boat Rental Company knows is that tubing is a blast. But we also know it can be dangerous if you are not prepared. Keep reading to learn about safety precautions you should take when tubing at the Lake of the Ozarks.


1) Get Familiar with the Equipment


When tubing, it is very important that the rope and tube you are using are in good condition. If the rope is worn or the tube has a tear, things could go wrong very quickly while out on the water. BomBay Boat Rental always makes sure that our watercraft are in excellent condition, but the tube you use will be your responsibility. Check the weight limit and capacity of the tube you are using before going out on the water. And make sure the line is secure before you take off.

2) Follow the Rules


There are a lot of special rules about how you should and should not use a tube while boating in Missouri. To find a list of Missouri boating laws, check out this website: www.boat-ed.com.

3) Watch Your Surroundings


The Lake of the Ozarks is a very busy place, especially on weekends and even more so on holidays. If you plan on tubing this weekend, it will be very important for you to keep an eye on your surroundings. Double-check that your rider is ready before taking off, or they could get left behind or injured. Watch out for other boat or jet ski drivers that may not be paying attention. Sometimes it can be difficult for people to see a tow line and tube until it's too late. 


4) Designate a Spotter


It is incredibly important to have someone dedicated to watching behind the boat to make sure the tuber is safe and still riding. If the rider should fall off the tube into the lake, it is the spotter's responsibility to raise the orange alert flag and notify the driver. The flag indicates to other boaters nearby that someone is overboard and to drive carefully when passing by. This will help keep your riders safe while tubing.

5) Take Your Rider into Consideration


Tubing can be a rough water sport with the amount of jostling from wakes and water spraying in your face while you ride. It's important to take your rider's experience into consideration when tubing. A 30-year-old man who is strong and good at swimming can probably take a faster speed and sharper turns than a 10-year-old boy who may not be good at swimming.

6) Wear a Life Jacket!


Even if your rider is a gold medal Olympic swimmer, it's important that they wear a life jacket while tubing. It's hard to know how you will react when thrown from a tube into the Lake until it happens. You may be too surprised and disoriented to find the right direction to swim to the surface without a life jacket. It can also get extremely rough and choppy at the Lake of the Ozarks when the water traffic is high. Some of the wakes can be incredibly large and hard to manage without the support and buoyancy of a life jacket.
