Good to know
Do I need a boating license to rent a boat at a marina?
Requirements depend on state laws, but most US states require drivers born after a specific cutoff date to hold a NASBLA-approved safety certificate. Marinas frequently administer a 15-minute temporary online or printed course for $10 to $15 prior to departure. Drivers must be at least 21 or 25 years old and present a valid photo ID.
How much does it cost to rent a pontoon or powerboat?
Half-day rentals (4 hours) typically range from $250 to $500, while full-day rentals (8 hours) run between $400 and $900 depending on location and vessel size. Fuel is usually charged separately at marina pump prices upon return, adding $40 to $120 to the total bill. Peak summer weekends often require full-day minimum bookings.
What equipment is included with a boat rental?
Rental rates include US Coast Guard-required safety gear, such as adult life jackets, throwable cushions, fire extinguishers, and anchors. Renters must bring properly fitted life jackets for children under 13, as marina stock in youth sizes is limited. Watersports gear like towable tubes or wakeboards can be rented separately for $30 to $75 per day.
How to shrink wrap a boat?
To shrink wrap a boat, cover support structures with protective padding, lay the shrink film across the hull, heat-shrink it with a heat gun, and add ventilation ports. For large vessels or professional weatherproofing in Georgia, check the 34 marine service providers cataloged on MarinaAtlas.
What is a marine survey?
A marine survey is a detailed inspection of a boat's hull, mechanical systems, and overall condition conducted by a certified surveyor. Across Georgia, MarinaAtlas indexes 34 qualified marine operators and survey specialists to assist buyers and insurance companies.
