How to Host Your Next Getaway with Motor Boatin’

Posted on by

Pssst —We’ve got a secret! Do you want to know our favorite reason at Motor Boatin’ for being on the lake? It’s simple. We love how easy it is to quickly get away from it all. No matter whether you rent one of our jet skis, fishing boats, or pontoons, when you are on the water, your mind is not on work, school, or other stressful daily tasks.

So, when you are ready to plan and host your next quick getaway, let us help you by showing you just how easy it is:

Naturally, it starts by knowing how many people you will be hosting. If it’s a group of 10 to 15, you are going to want one of our amazing pontoon boats. They are perfect for hosting a group of that size on the water. In addition, there is room for coolers, picnic baskets, swim bags, towels, sunscreen, life vests, and everything else you will need to have fun and stay safe.

If you are planning on embarking from our normal location at the Highway 50 Boat Ramp in Wake Forest, we recommend having your entire party meet us at the scheduled time at the ramp. This way, you can prevent extended wait times or having to stop in other locations to pick up and drop off guests.

Be sure to know the ages and sizes of all children because they are legally required to always wear vests while onboard. If you are looking to grill out, know that you must have the boat pulled up to a beach area. Grilling on board the boat is not permitted for safety reasons.

Entertainment is a breeze because our pontoons come equipped with stereos, and most have Bluetooth capability.

In short, our pontoons are the easiest way for a group to make a quick getaway for a day of fun in the sun. To see our availability, prices, and make a reservation, just click here or call us at 919-800-9716.

Renting a Pontoon Boat: Things to Consider

Posted on by

Imagine spending one last summer day on the lake. Riding through the waters with wind in your hair, or just casually cruising through the lake as a way of relaxation – either way a pontoon boat rental will be perfect. Prior to renting, there are some things to consider and think about to make sure that you are prepared for your day on the water. At Motor Boatin’, we want all our renters to be well-informed, safe, and of course, have fun when they are out on the water.

Here are three things to consider before renting a pontoon boat:

  1. Number of people: Before renting, it is important to get a head count of how many people will be in attendance. At Motor Boatin’, we offer boat rentals that can hold up to 10 to 14 people. It is also important to establish the number of people to get the correct amount of life vests. For every person on the boat, there must be a life vest. Every child 13 and under needs to be wearing one while in motion under North Carolina law.
  2. Activity: Figuring out what you intend on using the pontoon for ahead of time is important. Are you wanting a peaceful day on the water, a day full of water sports, or a casual afternoon fishing? All our boats can pull a tube, but not all of them are capable of hovering which is important when fishing. Figuring out what you want to do on the water beforehand is helpful, so you can rent the boat that best first your needs.
  3. Driving the boat: When renting a boat, you are going to have to drive it, so you need to make sure somebody in the party knows what they are doing and is comfortable with it. With Motor Boatin’, you must be 26 years old or older to rent and operate our equipment. If that applies to you, taking a refresher course online to go over all the mechanics and instructions for driving a boat can be beneficial just to make sure you are ready to safely go out on the water with passengers.

At Motor Boatin’, we want everyone to have a great day out on the water with friends and family. Contact us today to browse your boat rental options while the weather is still great!
