Holiday Gift Guide For Boat Lovers

If you're like us, it's difficult to say goodbye to the warm mid-Missouri summer weather and embrace the chill of winter, but like every year, old man winter has his own agenda. BomBay Boat Rental Company misses our warm weather cruising but, we'll admit it, the coldest months do have their advantage - the holidays are here and the gift giving season is upon us! With just three weeks until Christmas, your favorite Lake of the Ozarks boat rental company wants to help you celebrate the holidays in sunny style with some suggestions for fun-loving lake inspired gifts. 


Artwork & Vintage Signs

When boating is your favorite hobby you'll love to display it on your home or office walls. At the Lake of the Ozarks, there's no shortage of unique wall art. Your gift recipient will appreciate the thought when you gift them the perfect lake-inspired artwork or sign.  

Nautical Decor & Pillows

Get into the holiday spirit with nautical themed pillows and decor. Decorative throw pillows are a great gift for the water loving friends in your life. For that person on your list who loves a nautical themed room, consider looking for photo frames and other unique accessories. They will love a reason to freshen up their lake house and you'll love the smile on their face! 

Outdoor Gear

Lake lovers will be overjoyed when they open up a gift related to outdoor living. Coolers, outdoor grills, water-themed tumblers, outdoor blankets, and compasses all make special personal gifts for that outdoorsy friend on your list.

Marine Electronics & Gadgets 

Have someone that you know will love the newest, latest and greatest when it comes to electronics? Waterproof cameras, portable audio systems, fish-finders, and stereo speakers all make excellent gifts for those water-lovers on your list. 

Water Wear

For guys and gals that spend a lot of time on the lake, you can't go wrong with apparel. Boat shoes that can carry the recipient to and from their BomBay Boat rental will definitely be a hit! Clothing designed for men and women who love to spend time on the water and want to look good while they're doing it is a great idea and can be found at a number of local shops. 


Tubes & Floats - For the Kids!

It may be several months before they'll be able to utilize water toys but the kids will definitely love the package! Active boaters and their families will enjoy receiving anything you can jump, toss or ride in the water!


BomBay Boat Membership

Renting a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks allows you all of the fun of being out on the water without all of the work involved with storing, cleaning, and transporting a boat of your own.  BomBay Boat Rental Company offers both boat memberships and wave runner memberships that can be used at any of our locations. Take a closer look at the excellent membership options on our website. 
Celebrating the holidays with your family and friends is always a good time, and when you're at the Lake of the Ozarks, it's even better!

Basic Boating Terms You Should Know

Do you love the Lake of the Ozarks? BomBay Boat Rental Company not only loves the Lake of the Ozarks, we love boating on 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.


Common Boating Terms

 Refers to the rear of the boat. When you move toward the stern, you are going aft.


3. Aft

When you moving towards the stern, you are going aft.

4. Forward

When you are moving towards the front end of a boat, this is called going forward.


5. Underway

When a boat is moving, either by power or sail, it is called being underway. A boat moving forward is moving ahead. When the boat moves backwards, it is going astern.


6. Port

If you are standing in the rear of the boat looking forward, port refers to the entire right side of the boat. 


7. Starboard

12. Cockpit

The cockpit is the space somewhere behind the helm where people can gather. 


13. Bow line

A bow line is a line that leads from the front of the boat, the bow, to the dock. It is used to tie the boat to the dock. (You'll toss this to a dock assistant when you're docking at your favorite Lake of the Ozarks shoreside restaurant!)

15. Outboard Motor

An outboard motor is a motor that is outside of the vessel. It is attached to the transom. The transom is the flat part of the stern, or back, of the boat.

You may find these boat terms come in handy when speaking with dock staff and communicating with service departments. Practice and memorize these useful terms and you'll be speaking the boating lingo in no time! 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.
