The combination of a beautiful day, friends and family, and a pontoon boat on the Great Sacandaga Lake has never failed to add up to a good time. At Reets Boatworks & Marina, customers always enjoy our Princecraft Pontoon Boat rentals throughout the boating season. Renting a pontoon boat from us is simple, but our team recommends that you do a little planning to make sure the boat meets your expectations and everyone on board stays safe. Here are some tips on how to ensure your pontoon boat adventure on the Great Sacandaga Lake is a great one. Consider Capacity Before leaving the dock, it’s important to know how many people and how much gear the boat will carry. Pontoon boats come in various sizes, so overloading it can create space and safety issues. Everyone needs to be seated comfortably and have plenty of space to move around without tripping over any fishing rods or coolers. Check Amenities & Features You never know what pontoon boat features you’re getting unless you check. Just winging it with a rental can throw a wet blanket over your plans for the day. For example, if you bring towables, the boat might not have enough horsepower to tow big Uncle Ernie. Also, it may not be equipped with the type of amenities you’re expecting. Our brand new Princecraft Pontoon boats are top-of-the-line watercraft designed to be comfortable, practical, and fun on the lake.  Questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out to us prior to making your reservation. Stay Weather Vigilant The forecast you saw the day before your lake excursion might not be what’s in store after you leave the dock. In the Adirondacks, the weather can be unpredictable and change quickly, so it’s smart to bring an extra layer in case of rain or to stay warm on a breezy day out on the water. It’s also important to watch the weather while you’re on the lake. Thunderstorms may roll in, and if conditions look ominous, it’s time to head back to the marina. Keep in mind that you can always postpone your trip if extreme weather is in the forecast, and that’s generally the best option. Review Safety Features Before you leave the marina to enjoy the Great Sacandaga Lake, our team will go over the safety features of the pontoon boat with you. We know things can get a little chaotic on the dock prior to casting off, but It’s important to pay attention and ask any questions you might have about safety or the operation of the boat.  We want to make sure everyone on board can locate the life jackets, fire extinguishers, and other essential safety equipment to ensure a safe trip. Verify Rental Policies Before you make a deposit or cast off from the dock, you need to understand the rental company’s policies. At Reets Marina, we’re upfront about our requirements. For example, we make it clear that the fuel in our pontoon boats must be refilled prior to return. However, some rental companies might not be so straightforward, which can lead to surprises and even additional fees at the end of your day. If you have questions about our rentals, don’t hesitate to ask our team either on the phone or at the marina.
