boat rentals

We recently finished our vacay in Deep Creek Lake.  This was our second trip, and it looks like we are going back again.  Everyone had a blast!  Due to our recent visit to DCL, you will see many new photos and articles coming your way to help you better navigate the area and find just what you’re looking for.  In order to achieve our goal of helping you plan your upcoming vacay (vacation), many of you are going to need to know who to call to rent a boat, or a waverunner.

Our families had an excellent experience with Deep Creek Marina.  Fair disclosure (they are also a sponsor of our site now).  We did however make use of both waverunners and boats during our stay and now have a good grasp as to what worked best for our rather large group balancing both time and need to be out on Western Maryland’s largest and most attractive lake.

Renting “The Boats” for Deep Creek Lake

by DCL Vacay on October 9, 2008

Backing up the Boat

What kind of a trip to a lake doesn’t involve boating?  Deep Creek Lake has 69 miles of shore to explore!

We had pre-planned our boat rentals and used 2 different companies in the area, as we rented 2 different boats during the week.   We rented from Bill’s Marine and Deep Creek Marina.  It is of course well advised to book your boat rentals well ahead of time.

Our first rental was the 190 HP Ski Boat.  This is a fast boat!

Here is a picture of us backing up for 1 of at least 50 tubing trips!  We had a ton of fun exploring Deep Creek Lake for 2 days with this boat.  There are so many beautiful houses and miles of open sea, it was truly relaxing and exhilirating to power that baby up down a wide open lane.  The kids definitely love the tubing, and the adults can enjoy fishing, relaxing, or just plain checking things out as there is so much to see.

For more info on Deep Creek Lake Boat Rentals:

Deep Creek Marina 1899 Deep Creek Drive McHenry, MD 21550 phone # 301-387-0732

Also, very important to know:
