RENT A BOAT
The best way to start your trip to Lake Havasu is to rent a boat. There are many different types of boats for the different types of activities and experiences you might be seeking!
A pontoon boat is the best choice for a lounging experience and docking at the local coves and beaches. A waterskiing and wake boarding boat is best if you are into water-sports and want to give waterskiing and/or wake boarding a try! The third option is a bowrider boat. This is a type of boat that has a seating area in the forward part of the ship, the bow. Bow riders are generally designed for recreational use, such as day cruising or water skiing. This is a good mix of the first and second options mentioned above.
