Renting Your On-the-Water Fun at Grand Lake

Renting Your On-the-Water Fun at Grand Lake

By Mike Williams

Not everyone owns a boat, of course, but almost everyone enjoys a day or more of fun on the waters of beautiful Grand Lake. Several marinas on the lake have a few vessels for rent, but there are four facilities that offer a wide variety and a significant number of boats, personal watercraft, and accessories.

The oldest rental facility on the Grand Lake – and the one with the most offerings of water-fun-for-rent – is Sail Grand located at Shangri-La Marina (at Shangri-La Resort on Monkey Island). In addition to pontoon, tritoon, runabout, and personal watercraft rental, Sail Grand also offers Grand Lake’s only Yacht Charter (a 64-foot Bluewater Yacht) and the only parasailing adventures in Oklahoma.

H2O Sports Rental has two locations – one at Candlewyck Resort in Grove and a second location on Monkey Island. They offer pontoons, tritoons, runabouts, and personal watercraft.

Duck Creek Boat Club & Rentals located at Safe Harbor Harbors View Marina in Duck Creek offers rental of pontoons, tritoons, and personal watercraft, as well as paddleboards, kayaks, and bumper boats.

Serenity Point Resort rents a variety of vessels and accessories, as well, including pontoons, tritoons, a unique double-decker pontoon with a slide, and a 10-passenger ski boat, as well as kayaks and paddleboards.

All these rental operations have water toys available, as well, including tubes for the kids. Some offer skiing equipment, as well.

If you enjoy your time on Grand Lake as much as I think you will, many Grand Lake Boat Sales operation will be happy to accommodate you with virtually any brand of boat you can think of. Nichols Marine at Shangri-La offers Chris-Craft, Chaparral, MasterCraft, Bennington Pontoons/Tritoons, and Robalo Center Console boats.
