Why Should I Rent vs. Buy?

If you are trying to decide whether to rent or buy a boat this season, BomBay Boat Rental Co. is here to help you weigh your options! We are the best boat and jet ski rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks, so we have a lot of boating experience and knowledge that we are ready to share with you. Keep reading to learn more and to find out the pros and cons of renting vs. owning a boat.

Lower Cost


Buying a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks can be incredibly expensive. Especially if you are looking for a new boat like the ones available for rent from BomBay Boat Rental. New boats can cost anywhere between $40,000 and $200,000 depending on the type and model you are interested in buying. And the costs don't end there! You will also spend the lifetime of the boat spending money on potentially costly repairs and maintenance (think, winterizing and de-winterizing every year). Renting a boat or jet ski is a very minimal cost and can save you a lot of money in the long run. Not to mention, BomBay Boat Rental Co. uses the newest models of boats so you can have a high-class experience for a low cost. 

Variety is the Spice of Boating!


When you rent boats, you can try several different kinds of boats to fit your activity for the day. Looking for a fast boat that can make the tube fly across the water? Rent a ski boat! Looking for a peaceful way to boat with your whole crew while enjoying the sunshine? Rent a pontoon! You never have to choose between your favorites. You can always have the best of both worlds with renting.


Never-Ending Fun on the Lake


Renting a boat from BomBay Boat Rental is a great choice for your vacation at the Lake! Even if you live here full time, renting with BomBay is the best way to go boating at the Lake of the Ozarks. We have the best boats, the best staff, and the best locations. We can even deliver your rental directly to you! Just give us a call and make your reservation by the hour, by the day, or even by the week!

Stay Familiar with the Weather


Missouri weather can be fairly unpredictable, so it's important to check the forecast more than once as you get ready to head out for a day of fun. If it starts to rain, it is important to turn back and switch to fun land activities. You may think that a light rain isn't too dangerous; however, that is not always the case. Rain can seriously impede a driver's ability to see other boats, obstacles, and other potentially dangerous objects. When you're driving on the road, you know where to expect other cars to be. But out on the water, there aren't any road lines and a boat can appear in your path before you know it.

Drink Responsibly


As the driver of the boat, of course, you shouldn't drink at all. Drinking and driving carries the same limits and penalties on water as it does on land. As passengers, it's important to drink responsibly while you're out on the water. If you drink too much, it could be very easy for a serious accident to occur. Tripping and falling into the water can quickly turn from a silly blooper into a devastating accident. If you are drinking, make sure to eat plenty of food and stay hydrated throughout the day.


Use Life Jackets


Legally, you must have coast guard approved life jackets on board and accessible for everyone on the boat. That means stowing life jackets deep in the boat under a lot of other supplies could be dangerous. It's also important that the life jackets are the right size and weight rating for your occupants. If someone weighs 200 pounds, a life jacket rated for 150 pounds will be useless. And for someone that weighs 100 pounds (perhaps your teenage kid), an extra large life jacket won't help keep them afloat. Before casting off for a fun day on the Lake, make sure everyone has a life jacket that fits them well and store them in a place that is easily and quickly accessible in case of an emergency.

Take Care of Yourself


It's easy to get excited about finally getting out on the water after spending time prepping the boat, but don't neglect your personal health and safety! Be sure to apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or above) and bring more to reapply, pack snacks and/or a lunch, fill water bottles to stay hydrated and avoid heat exhaustion, and bring sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays. A fun day on the water can suddenly feel not so great if you experience hunger pains, heat exhaustion, dehydration, or sunburn. Take care of yourself this summer!

Ways to Observe Memorial Day 2020!

Memorial Day is just one week away, and summer will officially be underway at the Lake of the Ozarks! This Memorial Day Weekend may look a little different than years past, but there are still a lot of great things to do and ways to observe the occasion this year. BomBay Boat Rental Co. has a few great ideas for you to help inspire your own Memorial Day observance. Keep reading to learn more!


Honor Our Heroes


Memorial Day isn't just another holiday. This is a day set aside to remember on honor fallen troops - heroes. We take this time out of our workweek to remember the sacrifice that has been made so that we can live freely. Because of them, we are able to truly experience living in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It's important to pause and acknowledge these heroes and their sacrifice. Teach your children about our history as a nation and why Memorial Day is a national holiday, that it's not just about hot dogs and an extra long weekend.

Back to Basics


Staying at home has likely increased the kids' screen time, especially with school being move to an online format. Break away from the screens and get back to basics and the traditions you may have had as a child. Draw hopscotch on the sidewalk and teach the kids how to play, go bike riding or rollerblading in the neighborhood, set up a tent in the backyard for a make-believe camping trip, see if you can make homemade ice cream! ... Think back to your childhood and the fun things you used to do without smartphones. You may be surprised just how fun it is to reconnect over the simpler things.


Enjoy the Freedom of the Lake


While it may not be a good idea to travel or spend time in large groups yet, the water can be a safe place to spend time. Recreational activity on the water is a great way to get out of the stuffy house while still helping prevent the spread of germs between others. Renting a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks can give you and your family the freedom to get out on the water away from crowds while you enjoy time together in the fresh air and sunshine.

Boat Rentals at the Lake


Get ready for Memorial Day Weekend by giving BomBay Boat Rental a call. (573-723-3502) We are the best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks, so you won't want to miss out! There are a lot of different options, but once they're all rented, you'll be out of luck. Choose yours today!

Rent a Pontoon for a Great Time!

Warmer weather is here and the Lake of the Ozarks is ready for boaters to start enjoying days on the water. One of the best ways to have a great time at the Lake of the Ozarks is to rent a pontoon and catch some sunshine on the Lake with your family. BomBay Boat Rentals has the best pontoons at the Lake of the Ozarks. Read on to learn more about what a pontoon can do for your vacation at the Lake!


Drive Easy

Pontoons are much easier to drive than other kinds of boats, so you don't have to have a lot of experience in order to stay safe while you're out on the water. 

Smoother Ride


Because of their size and construction, pontoons are able to ride smoother across choppy waters than ski boats. They don't tip side to side as much as other kinds of boats, so you can feel more secure and less "sea" sick. 

More Space


Because pontoons don't have curved edges, they have more seating and floor space naturally. It's much easier to bring along the items you enjoy having with you for a day on the water. Because of this, it's also easier to bring your dog along for the ride so that they will have more room. 


Relaxation


The stability and size of a pontoon also makes it easier to have a relaxing day, soaking in the sunshine and enjoy the cool breezes out on the water. Stretch out on the seats like you can't in other boats and kick back to relax!

BomBay Boat Rental has the best pontoon rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks! You can rent pontoons for a few hours, a whole day, or even the entire week. Whatever your boat rental needs are, BomBay has what you need! Contact one of our four convenient locations to find the perfect rental for you.
