BOAT RENTALS BY THE 6 DAY WEEK

Lake Boat Rentals - Ocean Boat Rentals

Maine Watercraft Rentals Inc.(MWR) is a separate corporation owned by the same owners as On the Water in Maine Inc. - Vacation Property Rentals and is located in that office. While there are several kayak rental businesses in Midcoast Maine, MWR is the only full-serviced boat rental company in the Midcoast area offering all small craft boat rentals - (kayak, sail, power, and fishing boats). MWR is also one of only two powerboat rental businesses in Midcoast Maine. We rent our boats primarily to our vacation rental guests first, then to the general public if we have availability.

2012 – BOAT RENTAL INFO

Boat availability calendars are located on each appropriate water-body type page (Lake or Ocean)

  • We only rent our boats in the Penobscot Bay Region of Maine, between Cushing and Searsport, as well as inland on the following fresh water bodies - Megunticook Lake, Crawford Pond, Alford Lake, Hobbs Pond, Quantibacook Lake, Coleman Pond, and Norton Pond.
  • We maintain our boats in the off-season so that they will run smoothly in our very short, 6-week rental season.  However, if a boat breaks down and is unavailable for rent, due to the small size of our business and the lack of other businesses that rent boats in Maine, guests should be prepared that it may be possible that we will not have a boat to offer them for rent in the event of mechanical breakdowns.
  • Boats are only rented to the guests of On the Water in Maine - Vacation Rentals. and must be kept at those vacation properties when rented.  (Exceptions are made depending on availability)
  • Boats are only rented by the week due to insurance requirements.
  • All boats include life jackets (paddles) and delivery/pickup to/from your vacation property.
  • Boat rentals weeks run from Sunday morning to Friday afternoon after 4pm so that we can "turn-over" boats for the next rental during the day on Saturdays. 
  • Powerboat renters will be required to complete an orientation before the boat is rented.
  • Boats may only be used by those aged 16 and older unless accompanied by an adult.
  • While boats come ready with a full tank of fuel, each renter is responsible for fuel costs during the rental.  We will charge your card for whatever it takes to fill the boat back up with fuel again after your stay. We add a 5% surcharge to all fuel costs to refill powerboats with fuel at the end of your use to cover our credit card processing fees. If you need fuel during your rental - we charge a $10 delivery & re-fuel fee.
  • Not all boats are available for rent at all our properties. When you complete the booking process for your rental property online, the reservation form will list only the boats that we would allow rental of at the property you are renting.  Inquire for more details.

IMPORTANT NOTE - REVIEW OUR BOAT RENTAL POLICIES BELOW REGARDING REQUIRED SECURITY DEPOSITS FOR BOAT RENTALS. BOAT RENTAL SECURITY DEPOSITS MUST BE HELD ON A MAJOR US CREDIT CARD AND WILL BE CHARGED 24 HOURS PRIOR TO THE RENTAL OF THE BOAT(S)

Renting a Boat Through Maine Watercraft Rentals at an On the Water in Maine Vacation property - feedback from a past Guest:

We rented three boats through you for the lake property we rented on Megunticook Lake recently, two kayaks and a speedboat.  We have to say, the whole boat rental process went very smooth and we were impressed with the operation you run.  We reserved the boats back in February, and you sent us a reservation form, which we faxed back and then you charged our credit card.  At first, I was amazed that it was as easy as that, but then I saw that I would have to meet you at the property after we arrived to do additional paperwork.  I was a bit concerned that we would have to wait for you to come after we arrived, then have to go get fuel, then do paperwork.... and then half our vacation would be over by the time we finally got to use the boat.

When we arrived at our vacation house, we were pleasantly surprised to see the boats on the dock, clean, and all the water toys neatly organized and ready for use.  The fuel tank was full on the speedboat as well.  The two kayaks were neatly arranged on the dock with paddles, nice life jackets, everything to start to paddling right away.  After we checked in to the house, we promptly got a call from one of your representatives who said he would be over within the hour to "check us out" on the speedboat.  Sure enough, Ben arrived a short while later and spent some time not only showing my husband how to operate the boat, but also took a short orientation cruise with him to show where the navigational hazards were in the lake.  Ben even pointed out some great fishing spots and a rope swing for the kids to jump in at.

After doing some final paperwork, Ben left us with the boats for the week, and use them we did!  We spent hours towing the kids in the tubes, fishing, and my favorite, cruising the shoreline of the lake in the evening looking at our houses along the lake.  Whenever we ran low on fuel, we called you guys and Ben came right over within the hour and re-fueled us.  We felt very spoiled!

While the house was spectacular, the highlight of our vacation was having the use of the speedboat all week.  The saddest part of our vacation was when Ben arrived at 4pm on Friday to take the boats back.  We understood he needed time to clean and service them for the next guests - so we let him take it without too much of a hassle :)  

We can't wait to come back and rent a house and boat from you again in 2011!  Ginny DeHoff - Allentown, PA
