Lake Hopatcong · 1 hour from NYC
Lake Hopatcong boat rental — with a driver, not just keys.
We're not a rental counter. We bring the boat, the boards, the tubes — and a driver who runs the whole day. Or take the pontoon out yourself. Either way, you're on the water in minutes.

(Boats on the lake)
Most "boat rentals" hand you the keys and a life vest. We do the opposite — we drive, coach and run your day on 2,500 acres of open water.
Wakesurf, wakeboard, water ski, tube, swim or just cruise. Boards, ropes and USCG-approved life vests (kid and adult sizes) are included. Prefer to captain it yourself? The Sport Tritoon pontoon has a self-drive option. Lake Hopatcong sits about an hour up I-80 from NYC — trade the subway for the lake.
