If you haven’t rented a boat in Myrtle Beach before, here are some basic things you should know and look out for.

What better way to enjoy the great outdoors on your Myrtle Beach vacation than by renting a boat? Having your own boat not only lets you enjoy the waters at your own pace, but it can also serve as the perfect setting for a fun family excursion or a romantic afternoon. Crazy Sister Marina is best known for our fishing charters in Myrtle Beach, but we’re also popular for our boat rentals! Here’s everything you’ll want to know before renting a boat in Myrtle Beach.

Boat Rental Options

Crazy Sister Marina offers two types of boats available for rent: Carolina Skiffs and pontoon boats.

Carolina Skiff rentals are ideal for groups of up to 6 passengers. These boats are 17’ in length with electric starts and 50 HP Yamaha motors. You’ll find an anchor, rod holders, a bimini top, bench seats, safety equipment, and a full tank of fuel. Rent for a half-day, full day, or five days!

Pontoon boats are slightly bigger, holding up to 10 passengers. These boats are 20’ in length with electric starts and 70 HP Yamaha motors. All features are identical to the Carolina Skiff, but instead of bench seats, you’ll have cushioned seats.

Safety Information

Whether you’ve rented a boat before or not, our captains will make sure you’re fully confident operating your vessel before you leave the marina. We’ll explain all the safety features and equipment included with the boat as well as basic operation instructions. For the length of your rental period, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Age Restrictions for Renting a Boat

Guests of all ages are welcome to enjoy our boat rentals, but there are some age restrictions when it comes to who can operate a vessel. Anyone renting a boat from Crazy Sister Marina must be at least 18 years of age and possess a valid driver license and a valid credit card. Please bring these cards with you when you pick up your rental!

What to Expect after Booking Your Boat Rental

Now you’re ready to book your rental with Crazy Sister Marina! We ask that you arrive at the marina at least 45 minutes before you’re scheduled to pick up your rental. This arrangement allows us plenty of time to check your license, complete paperwork, and instruct you about how to operate your vessel.

When you pick up your boat, be sure to ask our team for recommendations about what to do in the area! We can point out the most beautiful areas to take your boat or nearby attractions you can reach via the water. The marina also features a fully stocked store with bait, tackle, ice, snacks, and more, perfect for preparing for an entire day on the water.
