Taking Out a Jet Ski!

There are only two important words you need to remember for the next few weeks: Summer vacation. These two words play a huge role in your kids lives (and probably yours, too). Don’t let your kids waste the summer away stuck and home playing video games and watching television. Help get active in their lives by getting them outside enjoying the sunshine and having a wildly good time, as well. It’s time to rent a Lake of the Ozarks jet ski from Bombay Boat Rental. Here are a few reasons you should consider a jet ski for your next outdoor adventure.



You Can Teach Fun

There’s nothing more fun that racing across the water with your family on a couple of jet skis. You can explore the Lake of the Ozarks, take in the scenery, and enjoy quality time together as a family. Not to mention, you can race across the Lake and see who wins: guys vs. girls, of course. Teach your kids how to have fun by renting a jet ski at the Lake of the Ozarks and taking it out for an afternoon or even a whole day! We have three convenient locations, and can even drop the watercraft off for you - it’s truly that simple.

You Can Teach Responsibility

Every time you take your kids out to do something, you’re teaching them about responsibility. You can show them how it’s important to carry the right documents while riding on the jet ski, and obeying the rules of the water. You can teach them about safety while being on the water, as well as how to take care of something that belongs to someone else (but still having an amazing time!) Everything can be a teachable moment, even taking your kids out on the water.

You Can Teach a Love of Nature

You’ll be surrounded by nature when you’re riding on a jet ski - and there’s nothing quite like it. Fresh air blowing in your face, cool water spraying you, and the warm sun kissing you skin. It’s going to be a memory that they keep forever and ever. Take some pit stops throughout the day, explore some local attractions. There are many places around the lake that have dock access to some of their amazing facilities. From local parks like Ha Ha Tonka and Lake Ozarks State Park to family attractions like Bridal Cave. Explore the area a bit, and when you’re ready, hop back on the jet ski for a great time!


Jet Skis at the Lake of the Ozarks

You don’t have to be a tourist to come rent a jet ski at the Lake of the Ozarks. If you don’t have one, you are the perfect candidate to get one!

Reasons to Rent a Jet Ski from BomBay!

It may not look like it, but jet ski weather is right around the corner. Before you know it, you'll want to be out on the water, catching waves, and feeling the water spray in your face. It's not always practical for your to own a jet ski, they take up room,, require maintenance, and you must have a way to transport it from one place to another. Because of this, BomBay Boat Rental provides the best watercraft rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks. We take the hassle out, and leave ALL of the fun. Here are a few reasons you should rent your jet ski from us this summer!


Hours of Fun

Not only just hours, you can even have days or weeks of fun! At BomBay Boat Rental we rent hourly, by the day, or by the week. Whether you're vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks for a short while, or a long extended visit, we can keep your jet ski in tip top condition and ready to enjoy. Jet skis are literally the most fun personal watercraft on the Lake!

Hassle Free

One of the best benefits of renting your jet ski from BomBay Boat Rentals is that we do all of the work for you. From routine maintenance to even dropping it off at your dock - the only thing you have to do is call us. Another great advantage is that you are always riding on a new watercraft. You don't rent jet skis that are five years old from us - we ONLY rent NEW PWCs.


Cost Effective

Unless you live on the Lake and plan on using your jet ski as daily transportation, it can be much more cost effective to hire a rental company to provide your watercraft. You can enjoy hours of fun on the water without the monthly payments on your watercraft. In fact, if you DO pay monthly payments, you could just pay them with us and get a membership. Then your watercraft will always be in working order, not require any maintenance from you, and you only pay for the months that you use the craft, April through September. There are NO payments October through March when you won't be riding anyway.



Fun for the Whole Family

Your family's dream of great days on the water can happen TODAY! The Sea-Doo GTI 130 is easy-to-ride and boasts the most fuel-efficient engine available. The Sea-Doo GTI 130's exceptional power-to-weight ratio makes it a more nimble, playful, and effortless ride, every time. Perfect for the entire family. It's light, colorful, and it's the most fun personal watercraft on the Lake of the Ozarks.


Rent Your Jet Ski TODAY!

It's never too early to make plans for your summer on the Lake. Reserve your jet ski, or better yet, join our membership program. At BomBay Boat Rental Company, we are committed to providing you, the customer, with the best rental fleet on the water. When you rent from us you will find a very clean and well-maintained vessel with all the amenities to assure that you and your family have a wonderful day on the water!

Beginner Boaters- Now's The Time to Test The Water!

Boating in the fall can be the perfect time for a novice boater to get some hours under his or her belt. The water is calm, the weather is comfortable and there are fewer people zipping around; a recipe for boating success! If you want to experience recreational boating but feel you need some practice behind the wheel, now is a great time and, renting a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks is an easy and affordable way to get your feet wet (literally!). From PWCs and ski boats to Tritoons, BomBay Boat Rentals has all the equipment and rental options to build a great day on the water! We offer some advice to our lake lovers that are still getting comfortable on the water.


Once you’ve decided to rent, where do you start?


BomBay Boat Rental Company has three convenient locations to welcome you and give you all the options you desire to meet your boating needs. Once you’ve chosen the best location you will find that we offer the best fleet of boats around! Depending on the size and desire of your party, we have ski boats for the fast fun seekers, spacious Tritoons for serious relaxation and comfort, and waverunners for the adventurous!


Now that you’ve chosen your boat, what do you need?


Autumn is upon us and while we’re fortunate that warm afternoons are typical of the Midwest fall season, it’s important to keep an eye on the weather before and during your trip so you’re not caught by surprise. You’ll want to dress appropriately. Fall days can bring significant changes in temperature and conditions. It’s better to have layers on so you can adapt easily when the weather gets warmer or cooler. You won’t want to forget a map! If you’re planning on spending the day navigating the large Lake of the Ozarks, and you're not familiar with the area, you’ll want to find out about possible shallow areas or obscurities. Let someone know where you’ll be and when you expect to be back- darkness comes earlier this time of year and you won't want to get caught out at night.


You’re on the water, what do you do now?


Wear a life jacket if you are an inexperienced boater, and children should always wear a PFD. It’s even more important when the weather is cooler. During autumn, the days might be warm, but cold nights mean the water can be chilly. Next, have fun! The Lake of the Ozarks has a variety of waterfront restaurants that are open in the fall and you will find other boaters out enjoying the same beautiful Ozark weather you are.


Autumn’s arrival doesn’t mean the boating season has come to an end and it can be an excellent time for beginner boaters to gain experience and knowledge about boating. BomBay Boat Rentals is committed to great customer service and would be happy to assist you with your rental. Our fall boat rentals are an exceptional value and impeccably well maintained. You can always count on a dependable rental from Bombay Boat Rentals!

4 Myths About Our Very Own Lake of the Ozarks

When you take out one of our boat rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks, you are in for a fun-filled adventure on the water.  While you are cruising in one of our Lake of the Ozarks watercraft rentals, do you ever take a minute to think about what may be under that water? Deep below the surface, too far for the eye to see?  
If you believe everything that you hear, then this might be too creepy for you to continue reading.  If you love a good tall tale and the mysteries that surround them, then here are a few about the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks.  


1. Giant catfish at the bottom of the lake.

People love to tell stories about the giant, man-eating catfish at the bottom of the Lake of the Ozarks, usually near Bagnell Dam.  They say that the Dam cannot be inspected because the divers will be eaten by these monsters!  



Don't worry, this one is NOT true, and the Dam IS inspected regularly.   The largest fish found in this area is the paddlefish, and they don't even eat meat. The largest catfish ever caught in the Lake of the Ozarks (on record) was 103 pounds.  Big, but not big enough to swallow a man.  

If you still want to believe in these giant catfish, I did come across a story that said there used to be the Missouri Aquarium on the Bagnell Dam Strip, and it featured a 5-foot long catfish that they claimed was caught in the Lake of the Ozarks.  Even scarier, it had bite marks around it's middle!  I couldn't find any proof of this, but it sure is a good story to make me want to keep looking deeper.

2. Dozens of towns were flooded out of existence when the Dam filled the lake.

Once Bagnell Dam was completed in 1931 and Lake of the Ozarks began filling up, rumors say that dozens of town sites were flooded and lost underwater. 

This is also NOT true. The only town back then that was actually large enough to be considered a real town was old Linn Creek.  The others were really just made up of a building or two, or a few cabins.  Linn Creek was completely relocated, and all other "towns" were abandoned, and any large buildings were demolished.

Technically, 8 town sites were truly flooded, 4 were no longer in existence by 1931, and 11 were at a high enough elevation that they were not actually covered by the water.  In actuality, NO towns were flooded that still existed.
    

3. A church steeple peeks just about the waves when the lake is low.

Of the many people that tell the story of a church steeple peeking out of the water, most of them can never remember exactly where it was that they saw it. At least one person stated seeing this at Linn Creek Cove.  

Old Linn Creek was relocated, as told above, and old photos show 3 churches in that town.  After everything was either moved to the new Linn Creek or demolished, photos show that nothing taller than a man's head was left in the old town. Definitely not a church steeple tall enough to peek out of the filled lake.

One possibility is an optical illusion.  From a distance, some things like a lighthouse in the area, can look like they are jutting out of the water, but when you get closer to it, it's actually on dry land.  Another possibility is suggestive thinking from stories like this combined with a few adult beverages.  

4. There are grave sites underneath the Lake of the Ozarks.

There were 60 cemeteries and possibly 2800 graves in the area before Bagnell Dam was constructed.  Union Electric created 8 brand new cemeteries to relocate the graves to.  The problem was, back then not all graves were clearly marked.  Many had small, family burial spots that were marked with a rock, a tree, or some other kind of marker that only family members might be aware of. Every effort was made to move all of the graves before flooding the dam, but there is a very good possibility that a few may have been missed.

So what do you think?  Just a bunch of tall tales, or are you interested enough to look into this a little further?  True or not, it does add another aspect to the excitement that is the Lake of the Ozarks.  Come on over to BomBay Boat Rental Company, take out one of our boats or jet skis, and do a little research of your own.

Staying Safe on the Lake on a PWC

If you have never experienced driving a PWC (personal watercraft) on the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks, then you are missing an amazing day on the water!  BomBay Boat Rentals offers the most fun jet ski rental on the Lake of the Ozarks:  our Sea-Doo GTI 130.  Not only does it have the most fuel-efficient engine out there (meaning less gas for you to buy), but it's also easy-to-ride, so even beginners can have a great time in no time. 


To guarantee that you have the best day ever on the water, it's extremely important that you keep yourself and those around you safe.  Here are a few wave runner safety tips to guarantee that you are around to play another day. 


TOP 10 TIPS FOR WAVE RUNNER SAFETY:
  1. Always wear a coast guard approved life jacket.
    • This will keep your head above water in case of an accident.  It's also a good idea to attach a whistle to your vest so that you can summon help and alert other boat traffic that you are in the water.
  2. Always keep the safety lanyard attached to you.
    • If you fall off, the key attached to the safety lanyard will come with you so that the engine will stop.  Forget to do this and you could end up with a long swim to shore!  
  3. Stay at least 150 feet away from boats and other PWCs. 
    • PWCs (and boats) do NOT have brakes.  Your best offense is to drive defensively.  Stay aware of your surroundings and take action early if you need to avoid a collision or come to a stop.  
  4. Use the buddy system.
    • Keep an eye on each other so that you can act quickly if the other rider is in need of assistance.  If you must ride alone, it is wise to keep your home base in sight.  
  5. Keep an eye on your gas level.  
    • If you run out of gas, you are stuck until help arrives to tow you in.  
  6. Have a cell phone with you.
    • In the event that you do run out of gas, or get stuck in any other way, it is wise to have a cell phone with you to call for help.  Waterproof cell phone cases/containers are available to keep your phone dry.
  7. Keep away from the intake grate.
    • Loose items, such as long hair, clothing, PFD straps..., can get caught in the moving parts.  
  8. Do not apply throttle when anyone is directly behind the PWC.
    • Water &/or any type of debris coming out of the jet thrust nozzle can seriously injure someone.  
  9. Do your homework.
    • Know the area that you will be traveling in; where it's safe to be, where you should avoid, and how to recognize these spots.  Also, it's good to know how to safely remove anything that gets stuck in the impellor.  Even the most watchful eye can easily run over something small.  
  10. Do not drink and drive. 
    • Drinking alcohol will impair your judgement and slow your reflexes, putting both you and those on the water around you in unnecessary danger.
BomBay Boat Rentals excellent staff can give you the answers to any questions that you have about the wave runner itself, the area you will be traveling in, and any other tips that can keep you safe out there.  You can access Missouri's Official Boater Safety Education Course and be in the water in just a few hours.



Our PWCs rent by the hour, by the day, or even by the week.  Is that not enough time for you? Then you should join our wave runner club for UNLIMITED riding!  Memberships last April through September, and we offer a few different options:  weekdays, 7 days, and family or shared plans.  Call 1-573-348-3433 today and ask for Jason, or visit our website to request more information online about all of our Lake of the Ozarks boat and jet ski rental options.
