The 30th Annual Fall Harbor Hop

Another exciting Lake event is just around the corner - The 30th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Fall Harbor Hop!  Summer's over, but the fun on the water isn't!  The best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks wants to make sure that you have all of the information that you need to participate this year.  After you learn about all of the fun surrounding this awesome event, call us up and get your Lake of the Ozarks watercraft rental reserved.  


Saturday, October 10, 2015 marks the big 3-0 for the Fall Harbor Hop.  This event was so popular that a Spring Harbor Hop was added 18 years ago.  This Lake-wide day of fun on the water is open to everyone.  You will travel to over 40 participating waterfront bars and restaurants collecting cards to create a (hopefully) winning poker hand.  

 An optional $20 donation will be collected at your first stop, and you will drop off your hand at your 7th stop.  As long as you have it turned in by 7 pm, you'll have a chance to win one 16 prizes.  You are welcome to enter more than once.  Also, an additional "Section Winner" prize will be recognized.  If you draw all 7 of your cards within the same section, you are eligible for this.

Aquatic Trail at the Lake of the Ozarks

When you think about exploring a trail at the Lake of the Ozarks, most people assume you are talking about dry land.  Our awesome lake area has something most places can't boast - an Aquatic Trail!  This is a trail that is only accessible by water.  A perfect way to experience it is to reserve a Lake of the Ozarks jet ski rental and start exploring.  

The Aquatic Trail is a nine-mile long, 2-hour boating trip running between the Grand Glaize Bridge and Public Beach #1.  It is suggested that you allow two hours for a round trip.  While you are traveling the trail, you will find 14 points of interest marked by orange and white buoys.  These include many natural, historical, and geological spots including woodlands, glades, and streams.

You can pick up an Aquatic Trail guide at the park office (573-348-2694) and at various locations in the park.  You can get a jet ski or boat rental at the Lake of the Ozarks at any of our three locations:  Village Marina, Dog Days Bar & Grill, and Camden on the Lake.  Fall is a fantastic time of year to cruise this trail because the leaves in our area turn to a rainbow of unbelievable Autumn colors. Give us a call at BomBay Boat Renal Company to find out about even more incredible lake areas that you can explore when you rent from us.

7 Reasons That Boating After Labor Day is the Best

It's a common misconception that once Labor Day is over, life at the lake comes to a screeching halt.  NOT TRUE!  As a matter of fact, late Summer and early Fall are the best times to rent a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Here are 7 of the reasons that you should be making a boat or jet ski rental reservation with us at BomBay Boat Rental Company.  


1. There's less traffic.
Many of the people that vacation here in the Summer have kids in school or are busy with work this time of year.  There are still plenty of locals and visitors to the area around, but much less than smack dab in the middle of tourist season. This gives you plenty of room out on the water to relax and not worry about too many other boats getting in your way. 
2. You'll have a smoother ride.
With less traffic on the Lake, you will get a much smoother riding experience. Fewer boats mean fewer waves, which means a much more calm and relaxing day for you. 
3. It's peaceful.
Another benefit of fewer boats on the water is that there is a lot less noise.  The sound of multiple boat engines on the Lake can sometimes drown out all of those sweet sounds of nature.  Get out there this time of year and you will truly experience the beauty of the Lake of the Ozarks without all of the noisy distractions.
4. It's gorgeous.
We are lucky enough to live in a part of Mid-Missouri that is beautiful year-round.  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. Seeing this from the water elevates this experience to another level.  
5. The fish are biting.
Yes, the fish were biting all Summer too, but you had to find a quiet spot where they weren't all scared away.  This time of year it's a lot easier to find quiet spots with hungry fish wherever you go.  
6. You can always find a parking spot.
Many of the waterfront bars and restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks stay open as long as the weather allows, and we've got a lot of beautiful days ahead of us before it's too nasty to get to these places.  You will have no trouble finding an open slip to dock your boat rental and enjoy your favorite waterfront hot spot. 
7. Shorter wait for food and drinks.  
Once you make your way up from the dock, it is very likely that you will be seated right away, 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-July.  
Your best bet for all of these things above to be true is to rent your boat during the week.  The weekends will be slower than usual, but there are a lot of fun Fall events scheduled in the Lake area, so there will still be visitors wanting to have the same fun that you are.  

 Don't miss out on exploring the Lake on one of our boat or jet ski rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks.  It is an experience that we suggest everyone try at least once.  We are positive that you'll love it and want to do it again every year.

Labor Day Fireworks Are Beautiful At The Lake

Fireworks make a Labor Day weekend especially festive.  If you've never seen them from a boat on the Lake, then you are missing something beautiful.  The best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks has some experience with this.  The reflection of the fireworks on the water makes you feel like you are sandwiched between two amazing shows.  Here is a list of some of the places around the area that will be shooting off fireworks this holiday weekend.

The Lake of the Ozarks is an incredible place to spend your Labor Day Weekend. There are lots of opportunities to have fun everywhere that you go, but the most fun that you can have is to get out on the water.  BomBay Boat Rentals has 3 locations for you to rent ski boats, tritoons, and jet skis from.  If you meet our distance guidelines, we even deliver!  Have fun this weekend, and above all, play carefully and stay safe.
