Pontoon Rentals

If a lazy day on Dale Hollow Lake is just what you need, you’ll want to rent one of our standard or double-decker pontoons.

We have two standard pontoons that accommodate up to eight passengers. These rent for $250 +tax per day for a 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. excursion.

There are three double-decker pontoons with slides with room for as many as 12 passengers. They’re $350 +tax per day and can be enjoyed between 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. If you rent a pontoon along with your houseboat rental, you’ll be able to return the pontoon at the same time as the houseboat, which is at 9 a.m. on the last day of the houseboat’s rental.

For your safety, we provide adult life jackets, a fire extinguisher, a safety whistle and flotation throw pillows. You’ll need to bring your own cooler, children’s life jacket, grill, radio, etc. Sorry, we don’t allow pets on our pontoons or anywhere on the marina grounds.

Below you’ll find some helpful articles about safely enjoying the lake as well as the boater safety license regulations.

  • Must be 21 years of age or older.
  • Must have a current State of Tennessee Boating Safety License.
  • Out-of-state guests must have proof that they are properly licensed to operate a boat in their home state.
  • No pets allowed on the pontoon or anywhere on the marina property

  • A separate damage deposit is required for all pontoon rentals but will only be charged should you return the pontoon with damages.
