About this business

Lake Murray's ONLY source to rent Deck Boats and Double Decker pontoon boats with a water slide off the back.

All boats include bimini tops, plush seating, AM/FM/CD stereo, boarding ladder, depth finder, compass, lake map and more so you can cruise, tube, fish, ski, swim and relax.

Rick and I had a great time the other afternoon on Lake Murray. Rick had never driven a boat before but Austin explained everything ahead of time and it was really easy. We had a ball and the weather could not have been more perfect. Will definitely rent from Better Boating again. 

Business response:

Thank you Shirley! We will make sure we pass on the praises to Austin!

Excellent experience. Boat was new, clean and waiting for us when we arrived. Staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We had an amazing day would definitely recommend them and can not wait to do it again. It is very nice to just bring you stuff throw it in the boat and go and then grab your belongs and leave when you are done. 

Business response:

Thank you for the excellent feedback. We also cannot wait to have you back again!

I recently rented a pontoon boat and tube while I had family visiting. The staff was excellent and provided us with a great pre-briefing about everything onboard the boat. It was a terrific outing and we will be back this coming weekend to try out the paddle boards!! Thanks Better Boating! 

Business response:

John, we are glad that you had a great time. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Our family had the best time on Lake Murray with our double-deck pontoon boat. Our two granddaughters, ages 2 and 5, loved the slide. The staff is very friendly and informative. 

Business response:

The slide is fun for adults too!

We rented last week and had a great experience. People were nice and helpful and the boat was in great shape. I would recommend renting from here and plan to rent again myself soon.

Kristen, thanks for the helpful feedback. We will use this to improve our operations and will send you a gift certificate for your troubles with the water slide. The problem with the water pump for the slide was a blown fuse which was replaced immediately. Your questions on tubing are good ones. We provide a 60' tow rope which is the correct length for tubing and has a fixed loop on each end to make hooking it to the boat and tube easy.
