3 Advantages of Renting a Boat

At BomBay Boat Rental, we know how important it is to find a way out on the water, but for many - that doesn't seem possible. If you don't own a boat, don't worry, we have you covered! Owning a boat can be expensive and a lot of upkeep and work. When you rent a boat, you can easily get out on the water worry free. Don't believe us? Here are three advantages that you can experience when renting a boat with the best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks.



No Maintenance
Yes, you read that right! When you rent a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks, you won't have to do ANY maintenance. Your boat will be ready to pickup for delivery in tip shop shape. If something out of the ordinary were to happen while you're on the water, we're just a quick phone call away and it will be made right - AND your boating adventure doesn't have to end. You won't have to winterize your boat, you don't have to make sure that the oil is changed regularly, and you don't even have to make sure that trailer is in good shape - because you don't need one.

Cost Effective
When you consider that fact that we have a very reasonable boat rental membership at the Lake of the Ozarks, that in itself makes renting a boat more cost effective. Not to mention that you don't have to provide any of the maintenance or repairs. Plus, you won't have a buy a special vehicle just for hauling your boat. Another cost effective benefit to consider is that when you rent a boat with us, you are getting a BRAND NEW 2017 boat. You aren't getting the old vintage boat that you took out as a kid (that's still being held together with duct tape!), or even a boat that is two or three years old. You are getting a brand new model that is ready to ride. Taking a brand new boat out has never been so affordable!

More Fun

We know you may not believe us, but it really is more fun when you rent a boat. You don't have to plan your day around when and where to get your boat from your dock or marina slip. At BomBay Boat Rental we will deliver your boat directly to your vacation rental dock, or you can pick it up at one of our three locations. Would you like to know what else can make your day on the water more fun? Knowing that when you head out, your boat has been prepared for the trip without you having to do a single thing. That's right - we have your boat ready so you can enjoy a day on the water WORRY FREE. You're welcome *wink*.

5 Major Benefits of a Rental Boat

Whether you are vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks or live here full time, we know how FUN it can be to spend time out on the water. While there are a number of expenses that go hand-in-hand with owning a boat, BomBay Boat Rental Company is here for you! We offer a variety of watercraft rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks, to make the most of your time on the water. Below, we have provided a few of the benefits of a rental boat at the Lake of the Ozarks!

1) Small Investment


The investment of renting a boat or jet ski is minuscule, compared to the price of owning. The value of a boat depreciates very quickly, similar to a vehicle. To avoid the financial burden of boat ownership, rent one from the professionals at BomBay Boat Rental Co.

2) Maintenance


There is a TON of maintenance that is required on a regular basis to keep a boat functioning properly. When you rent a boat or PWC with us, you don't have to worry about the maintenance aspect - just have fun out on the water! Even new boats, like ours, have regular maintenance required. Each year the vessels need to winterized in the fall and de-winterized come spring. Renting alleviates all of that hassle!

3) Try Different Vessels


If you have a different crowd attending or simply want to try out different types of boats, renting is a great way to do so. If you want to get out and jump some waves with our jet ski and come back another day with the entire family for a leisurely cruise on the Lake, our tritoon may be a better option. You are not stuck with one type of boat, when you rent!

4) Convenience


To avoid the headache of preparing a boat for your next excursion, you can schedule your rental with BomBay Boat Rental Company - that's it! For a convenient rental experience, visit us March 1st, when we open for the summer 2017 season.

5) Avoid Storage Expense


Storing your boat through the summer and off-season can be a hassle. Avoid the additional cost of boat storage, when you rent a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks. Don't worry about paying for a storage unit or dock slip rental this year - simply rent a vessel!

To get the best experience at our beautiful lake, we believe you should spend time out on the water. From the breath-taking views to family fun, there are TONS of reason you should spend time out on the Lake. To help you get out on the water, we offer a number of rental options, to find the best to suite your group's needs. From ski boats to tritoons to PWCs, you can find something you will love at the best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Next time you find yourself ready to rent one of the best rental boats on the lake we want you to be prepared. Whether you're interested in learning boat terminology because you want to increase your nautical knowledge or you want to impress your friends as you captain them through the water, there are so many things to study when it comes to boating. Before venturing out into open waters, it's important to have a basic understanding of common boat terms associated with the positions and directions of your boat. We want to make sure that you have the best experience possible on your boating journey, so take a look at our list of basic boating terms.

When you rent your next boat from BomBay Boat Rental Co. you'll feel confident and ready to have a great day on the lake!

Enjoying the Outdoors at The Lake of the Ozarks

It happens every year as we enter November. The cool, crisp air brings people out of doors to enjoy the warm sunshine as they gravitate toward their favorite fall hobbies. The Lake of the Ozarks is host to some of the best summer activities the Midwest has to offer, but we want to share why our area is just as fun in the fall. As a result of the unusually warm weather, BomBay Boat Rental Company has had an extended season, still renting boats into November! This weekend is no exception as the forecast predicts 70 degrees - give us a call and reserve your watercraft, we're waiting for you! If you want to get outside but prefer to keep your feet planted on the ground, grab your sneakers and head outside - there's plenty to do!

Fishing

Looking for that catch of the day? It may be getting cold outside but the fishing around the Lake of the Ozarks is heating up - note, the increase of bass boats flying up and down and in and out of coves. Time to pack that fishing gear and head down to the dock (or out in a BomBay boat) and start casting. You may find that the bass are feeding near the surface or in the shallow sections of the lake. Your "big bass" may be out there, good luck!

Hunting

Locals and visitors alike find the woods and fields around the Lake of the Ozarks to be filled with a wide variety of wild game this fall. During the designated seasons, you'll be able to test your skill and fill the freezer, if that's something you enjoy. If hunting is your hobby, the fall is a great time to look for that trophy buck, turkey and other migratory birds. 


Hiking and Biking

The Lake of the Ozarks is a great place to discover nature by foot or tire! There are 12 hiking trails at Ha Ha Tonka State Park and 11 trails at Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Take in the serene, natural characteristics of the Ozarks as you walk or ride your bike around the area.


Boating


With the unseasonably warm temperatures the Lake of the Ozarks is experiencing, we're noticing boaters are out - still soaking up the sun! The calm water will have you rocking to your fall beat, and the stunning scenery is simply the best. 

As you plan your weekend, pencil in time to get outside and soak up this exceptional weather. It's hard to beat a 70 degree day in November! And don't forget, your favorite Lake of the Ozarks boat rental company is offering HALF PRICE rentals! Make your reservation for this weekend. Give 573-365-1800 a call, or visit us online to make your reservation request through our website. An amazing time is waiting for you OUTSIDE.

Discover 7 Great Midwest Fall Scenic Tours

Autumn is in the air! The leaves are changing at the Lake of the Ozarks and the mild temperatures are calling us outdoors. Now is the perfect time to hit the road for a fall foliage tour and we're going to share some fantastic places to explore before the last leaf drops for winter. Of course, if you're so inclined to swap the scenic road tour for a boat ride, BomBay Boat Rentals can send you out for a day trip on the gorgeous Lake of the Ozarks! 


St. Louis, Missouri








Missouri makes fall look good! The season lingers here and we don't mind at all. You'll find many ways to celebrate this time of year in St. Louis. If heights don't make you fuss take a ride to the top of the Gateway Arch, you're sure to see the city in all it's fall glory from the window of this landmark. Forest park boasts over 1,000 miles of beautiful changing leaves and is perfect for a breezy picnic. But don't lose your walking shoes just yet! Take a stroll through the Missouri Botanical Gardens and don't forget to take time to visit the Zoo - it's free!

Illinois River Road National Scenic Byway


An easy drive from St. Louis, this National Scenic Byway is sure to please the leaf lovers. It threads through natural areas, past water views, bluffs and the beautiful fall foliage will be visible throughout. You won't miss a thing on this route. Meal options are plenty, history and art culture are around every corner and you might enjoy some local vineyards on your way too! 


Katy Trail


Did you know it's possible to pedal your way across Missouri? You may not have the time (or stamina) to bike the 225 mile Katy Trail but you may find a day excursion is all you need to enjoy some of the loveliest changing trees our state has to offer. The trail starts northwest of St Louis and loosely follows the Missouri River west. Depending on where you come into the trail, you'll find it winds through farmland, prairie, wooded country and more. If you're from the Lake of the Ozarks area, just an hour west you'll find the Katy Trail entrance in Jefferson City, Missouri. Whether you're biking or hiking, you won't be disappointed! 

The Glacial Hills Scenic Byway


Ready to see Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa from one great platform? The byway runs through rolling, wooded countryside that is sure to be in spectacular fall form this season. Take a break at an awe-inspiring outlook in the tiny town of White Cloud, located just 85 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri. When you'e reached this post on the bluffs of the Missouri River, you'll know you're at the end of the 63 mile Glacial Hills Scenic Byway.

Missouri Wine Trails


The colors on the trees can be seen in a glass when you travel Missouri's wine trails! As you make your way through the state you'll find many wineries along the Missouri River. The region will be bustling with fall festivities, wine tours and tastings.

The Ozarks


As the landscape transformation takes place, there's no better way to explore nature and beauty than through a tour of the Ozarks. Near Branson, Missouri you'll find, nearly every road you take offers stunning views from the hills and cliffs of the Ozark Mountains. From mountain tops to level lakes, you'll find overlooks in abundance and opportunities to take a stroll through many area nature trails.  


Arkansas' Eureka Springs


If art, history and quirky culture are on your fun list, a Victorian town nestled in the hills of Arkansas might be your destination of choice. This charming historical town offers more than colorful charms, you'll find art galleries, award winning cuisine, natural springs and enough trees to get your lovely leaf gazing fix. It's a must see on your scenic getaway!

 Autumn is an incredible time to discover the scenery of the Midwest. Whether your idea of a getaway is a long peaceful drive, or wandering the colorful tree-shaded streets of a small town, we know you'll love the beauty of these great fall tours. If you prefer to stay a little closer to home, BomBay Boat Rental Company invites you to reserve a boat on our website or by giving us a call. The Lake of the Ozarks is our backyard and it's beautiful foliage is on full fall display!

9 Tips for a Successful Day on the Water

Summertime is all about being outside and enjoying the beautiful weather. Cooling off in the water is a great way to spend time with friends and family in the warmer months. The best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to help you make your day on the water memorable. We have provided some boating tips to ensure your time spent on the water is a success!


1. Take it Slow

When driving around docks or other boaters, taking it slow is the best option. Unlike vehicles, boats don’t have a break to quickly stop when needed. Taking your time when driving a boat on the water makes for a safer and more enjoyable outing.

2. Stay Hydrated

Be sure to bring plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated. The summer heat can quickly dehydrate the body. Staying on top of this situation is beneficial for all. The last thing anyone wants when trying to enjoy the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks is to get sick from a lack of water.

3. Pack Those Snacks

Do not forget to pack food to last for the duration of your voyage. Along with staying hydrated, having enough food is crucial for a great day on the water. Your group will be cranky if you do not have enough food for them!

4. Waterproof Bag

Although no one plans on getting their personal items wet, it does happen. Place phones, wallets, and other items in a waterproof bag or plastic bag at the least. Keeping these items in a safe location on the boat helps keep them dry as well.

5. Sunscreen

Remember to pack the sun block to protect from getting too burnt while out on the water all day. Being around water can multiply the sun’s rays, so you are more apt to get a sunburn.

6. Dress Appropriately

Bringing clothing that can cover your skin if you do get too much sun is a good idea. Also packing sunglasses and hats to protect your face and eyes can be helpful for enjoying your boating experience.

7. Lifejacket

Making sure to have properly fitting life jackets for everyone attending is also a good idea. Nothing is more uncomfortable than wearing a lifejacket that is either too big or, even worse, too small! A properly fitting life preserver helps everyone enjoy themselves in the water.

8. GPS

It is a good idea to either bring a GPS or know how to use the boat’s GPS system. Being on the water can be disorienting, especially if you plan on staying out after dark. The lake looks different at night when most landmarks are not visible.

9. Weather Check

Before setting out on an excursion on the boat, double check the weather to make sure nothing has changed. Having your family and friends out on a boat while it is raining will be memorable, but not the most fun situation. Being on the water during a storm can be dangerous as well. Checking the weather throughout the day is also a good idea, if your device allows. Missouri weather changes frequently, so don’t be caught off guard on the water.

Boating is one of the most popular things to do at the Lake of the Ozarks. Keep these tips in mind when packing for your day on the water. Bombay Boat Rental is here to help make your boating experience enjoyable. We offer the best rental boats at the Lake of the Ozarks for you and your family to take out for the day.  Give us a call at 1-888-259-6096 to reserve your boat today!
