Warm Winter Destinations For Water-Lovers

If the chill of winter has you imagining jet-setting somewhere warm, chances are, you're not alone.

Boating Fun Bucket List - A Summer Full of New Adventures!

When you rent a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks and you are new to the area, you may not know where to begin. There are so many exciting things to do and gorgeous places to visit. We put our heads together here at BomBay Boat Rental Co. and came up with a bucket list of boating fun to get you started on your own adventure. 

Learn a new sport

Boating at the Lake of the Ozarks is an amazing activity all on its own, but there are also a lot of fun water sports that you can take part in with the help of a boat. 

  • Skiing
  • Tubing
  • Wakeboarding


Enter a fishing tournament


There are tons of fishing tournaments going on all of the time in the lake area. Some of them are geared specifically toward amateurs. The Big Bass Bash takes place every fall, and they give away $100,000 to the grand prize winner, as well as lots of other big cash prizes. You may find a new favorite hobby and make some money too. 

Go sight-seeing

The landscapes that you will see simply cruising around the lake will take your breath away. There are also lots of wonderfully scenic places to stop along the shore. An earlier blog of ours highlighted Great Natural Lake of the Ozarks Attractions By Water detailing these great places to visit by boat. 

  • Ha Ha Tonka
  • Bridal Cave & Thunder Mountain Park
  • Lake of the Ozarks State Park
  • Aquatic Trail

Attend an annual water event

Our lake hosts numerous thrilling events on the water every year. Funlake.com is a great site to visit to see a calendar of upcoming events. There are lots of holidays that lake area businesses shoot fireworks over the water. People make it a point to visit here annually for these popular events:

  • Harbor Hop (Fall & Spring)
  • AquaPalooza 
  • Lake Race
  • Shootout
  • Liquidforce Brostock   


Don't just boat


While there's nothing better than boating, we offer a couple of other exciting options that are just as awesome to get you out on the lake for a day full of fun. Our Lake of the Ozarks jet ski rentals can take you everywhere a boat does. If you are a member of our boat rental club, our waverunner rentals are included too. 

 We've recently started renting paddleboards from our Village Marina and Camden on the Lake locations. If you've never given it a try, move this one to the top of your bucket list!

Get out there and do nothing!

Not exactly nothing, but what we mean is you don't have to make a bunch of plans when you go out on our boat rentals. Instead, find a quiet cove, do a little swimming, lay out in the sun, and just relax. Simply coving out with a bunch of your friends can be one of the best days ever.

BomBay Boat Rental Co, Lake of the Ozarks

That list should be more than enough to keep you busy for the rest of the summer. Pick out your favorite ones to start with, then reserve one of our Lake of the Ozarks watercraft rentals and get started. This is just a taste of the incredible fun to be had out on our awesome lake, and BomBay Boat Rental Co. is here to make sure you have a chance to get out there and try them all.

Halloween Costume & Movie Ideas for the Boat Lover

The best boat rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks is still open for business.  You can still give us a call and reserve a boat or jet ski rental any day, but we realize that Halloween night you probably won't be out on the water.  Because of this, BomBay Boat Rental Company has some suggestions for you that keep boating in the forefront this holiday.  
BOATING COSTUMES






Your love of boating and everything that goes along with it can show loud and clear through what you choose to wear this Halloween.  There are plenty of incredible ideas out there revolving around the boating world, both real and fictional.  

  • Ship's Captain
  • Sailor
  • Pirate
  • Octopus
  • Jellyfish
  • Mermaid
  • Poseidon
BOATING MOVIES

 As long as you are a big enough lover of boating to not frighten yourself away from it, there are some great movies out there featuring water, boats, and some big aquatic creatures.  Some are scary, some are cheesy, but if you are up for it, you may enjoy these old favorites.   

 Friday the 13th
Everyone has heard about Jason and Crystal Lake.  This movie not only makes lakes creepy, but Summer camp and hockey masks too.  If you like it, there are plenty of sequels to watch all weekend long, including a more recent remake.    
  
Creature From the Black Lagoon 
You know how sometimes when you are in the lake and something brushes up against you, but then it's gone before you see it?  Well, it can't possibly be a prehistoric creature like in this 1954 horror classic.  

 Ghost Ship
When a salvage crew finds a long-lost ship floating in the Bering Sea, they prepare to tow it back to land.  The ship has other ideas.

Dead Calm
You don't normally get hitchhikers on a boat, but if you do, beware!  They may not be as innocent as they seem.

 Jaws
"Just when you thought it was safe to get back into the water..."  Actually, that tagline is from Jaws 2, but you get the idea.  A gigantic white shark is terrorizing everyone, and a police chief, a marine scientist, and a fisherman are the ones that have to stop it.   

Lake Placid
This time, it's a giant 30-foot-long man-eating crocodile out to destroy everyone in its path.  Who will save the people of Black Lake, Maine?




There you have it.  You can get all dressed up and go out for Halloween, or stay in, turn off the lights, and settle in for a scary movie.  With these suggestions from BomBay Boat Rental Company, you don't have to forget about your love of the water while you enjoy the holiday.  No matter what you decide to do, please have a very happy, very safe Halloween weekend.  When you are ready to get back on the Lake, we'll be here, ready and waiting for you.

4 Reasons That Dad's Love Boats



Father's Day will be here Sunday, and BomBay Boat Rental Company has the best idea for you... reserve one of our Lake of the Ozarks boat rentals and take Dad out on the water!  Just imagine the great big smile he will have from getting to spend a day with his family cruising along the gorgeous Lake of the Ozarks.  Here are 4 wonderful things that make Dad's love boats.   

     

1. Family Time


Boating is a great family activity.  You can pack a cooler full of food and drinks, grab some beach towels, and take everybody out for an entire day of fun.  Find a quiet cove and spend some time swimming in the water, or bring along the fishing poles and see who can make the biggest catch.  If you've got an active Dad, take out a tube or some water skis and see who can go the longest without falling off.  A day on a boat together is sure to make lots of happy memories for the whole family.

  

2. Tranquility 

The view from the middle of the Lake of the Ozarks is very likely one of the most relaxing and gorgeous sights that you will ever come across.  Our tritoon boat rentals offer plenty of room for everyone to sit back and unwind.   Sometimes weekends can be a bit crowded with other boats, but that doesn't change the beauty of our magnificent lake.  A beautiful end to a day out is catching the sun setting over the water.



3. Adrenaline Rush

Do you have the type of father that prefers excitement over relaxation?  Maybe you would be more interested in one of our ski boat rentals.  Put your dad behind the wheel and really let him open it up.  The main channel of the Lake of the Ozarks stretches 92 miles, so there is plenty of room to really pick up some speed and explore.    

4. Fresh Air

Getting outside is good for the body and the soul.  Boating is especially great for dads that don't get out much anymore or have a job where they are stuck inside for 8 hours a day.  The fresh air, the warm sun, and the wonderful atmosphere around you is sure to make it one of his best day's ever.  





So there you have it.  Get your father outside and on a boat this Father's Day.  Between the fresh air, the beauty, the fun, and the fact that you are there with him, he's gonna love it!  Make your boat rental reservation today to guarantee that you can spend Sunday on the Lake.  BomBay Boat Rental Company wishes all of the Dad's out there a very happy Father's Day.
