Waverunner rentals can exceed 60 miles per hour.  This strongly implies that only responsible adults should operate these units.  This is a great way to tour the Lake of the Ozarks area, and to experience the thrill of flying across a great body of water.  What are some of the more luxurious features on these waverunners?  Some newer models incorporate features like telescopic steering, cruise mode and no-wake mode.  

Some of the top selling models for rental purposes include the Yamaha VX Deluxe, the Yamaha VX Deluxe Cruiser, the Yamaha FX HO, and the Yamaha GP 1300.  When renting waverunners, you usually pay by the hour or in hourly blocks.  Rental prices for Waverunners range from $60 for an hour on a deluxe model up to $70-75 for an hour on a premium model.

Iguana Watersports sells all of these models of waverunner.  These are superfast, high-acceleration, ultra-light vessels that were created from lightweight nanotechnology.  This technology is patented by the Yamaha Company.  No, you won’t get much fishing done with this unit.  However, it’s a great way to get around town to all the bars, or to take a loved one out on a thrilling date.  These sea-Cadillacs can take up to three people at once.  Bring along a friend for the ride!

If you want to commune with nature make plans to camp by the lake.  Camping is not only fun in its own right, but is also a great bonding experience for new friends and family members.  Camping also goes very well with water sports and boating, which are the primary reason why tourists come to Missouri in the first place.

Lake of the Ozarks is always open for business and there are several camping sites near to the lake.  Some of the most popular locations include the Ozark Trails Family Campground, Majestic Oak Parks, Cross Creek Campground and Lazy River RV Resort.  Camping sites do tend to make it “rough” on you, but don’t be surprised when you find a few handy features along the way.  For example, some camping sites provide full hook ups for water and electricity, while others go for the “resort” experience and including swimming pools and playgrounds.

That’s a perfect combination: camping and boating.  You can camp out on land and then ride out to the middle of the lake for a grand view of the Lake of the Ozarks.  You don’t have to own a boat just to enjoy the ride.  You can rent a fishing boat or a waverunner for a low price and see all of the lake area.  Why, you could even camp out on the lake if you rent a pontoon or a houseboat! 

The lake is well over 50,000 acres so trust us—you will be riding on the water for a good part of your day!  You can contact Iguana Watersports to learn more about cheap rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks.  This destination is truly an outdoorsman’s paradise!

Have you ever thought about visiting the Lake of the Ozarks for your spring or summer vacation?  This is one of the United States’ most popular attractions, and an outdoor lover’s dream.  After all, what other location besides the Lake of the Ozarks gives you golfing, camping, boating, and fishing all within a few blocks?  If you could manage to throw in a luxurious condo for a good night’s sleep, you have created the perfect vacation package!  

Lake of the Ozarks’ condos are in between economic motels and shameless resort luxury.  These homes do have a homey atmosphere when compared to flashy hotels, but they are still very attractive homes and have an endearing and almost rustic quality to them.  They tend to have large windows, which welcome the morning sun.  The bedrooms are spacious and the views are magnificent.  This brings us to the primary reason why condos in the Lake of the Ozarks are so popular—because they have a great location!  Most condos are usually situated by the lake or just a few blocks from the beach.

The location of your accommodation is not always significant.  In this case, however, judging from the fact that you will be spending most of your time on the lake and not visiting the rest of the city, a nearby condo location is an advantage. 

Truthfully, the condo is just a pleasant distraction from the main purpose of the trip: to go out there and drive a boat or waverunner all over the Lake of the Ozarks!  Whether you want to speed in a waverunner or take a calm trip around the beach to do some quality fishing, the lake will call to you from the moment you arrive on the scene.  Take a tour of the area by renting your own boat.  Iguana Watersports can provide you with an affordable rental that caters to your vacation plans.  Call us today to book your rental and don’t forget to mention that you saw this post and you can save 20% off your waverunner rental or 10% off your boat rental!

When you finally leave the hotel; however, your eyes should be on the Lake of the Ozarks.  This giant lake area takes hours, perhaps even days, to fully take in.  For the best vacation experience, try to view the lake up close by taking a boat ride through it.   Iguana Watersports is offering affordable rentals on a variety of boats including pontoons, waverunners and fishing boats.  You control the boat and your own speed, so it’s a very comfortable and safe experience.  Enjoy the luxury of Lake of the Ozarks resorts, but don’t forget Missouri’s claim to fame—this massive lake!

The fishing scene at the Lake of the Ozarks is very active.  Anglers can catch everything from largemouth or smallmouth bass to black and white crappie to bluegill fish and catfish.  There is no off season here.  The lake is open all year round as are the boat rental facilities

If you are planning on fishing or splashing around in a swimsuit for most of the afternoon, then your ideal season would be spring and summer months.  Remember that feeding activity falls with water temperature.  Besides, it’s not always fun waterskiing in 40 degree weather! 

Besides procuring a boat rental, you will also have to apply for an annual fishing permit and a daily fishing permit.  Follow all state regulations regarding types of fish and legal fishing practices.  What kind of boat should you rent?  Iguana Watersports has everything from pontoons to yachts and sailboats.  The fishing boat inventory will be of particular interest to you.  You can rent a fishing triton, a center console or a specially made bass boat for trolling. 

The Lake of the Ozarks is nothing without the lake!  Forget the shopping and the fancy restaurants and come out to the lake.  This is the part of the trip you will remember for the rest of your life—guaranteed!

Pontoon boat rentals are a popular model of boat that are frequently requested for parties.  These boats are floats that can hold several people at once.  You might recognize these boats from your old vacations—the “tour boats” that transported several people all over a river neighborhood. They are a great idea for holiday weekend adventures, family vacations, or any other time for that matter.

Don’t be put off by price—in fact, you may be surprised to learn that pontoon boats are cheaper to rent than a traditional boat.  Why is this?  Because pontoons are statistically much safer than speedboats and sailboats.  The “shallow draft design” protects you and your party guests from the threat of falling over and from collision damage.  These boats can also be used for transporting a large number of people across a lake.

Another option would be a chartered boat.  This is an ideal selection for a corporate event or for a group of golfing buddies to get together.  You can also get the boat chartered with a licensed captain so you can be free to entertain.  Iguana Sports’ charter boat model is 44 feet long (SeaRay Sundancer) and has full surround enclosure with climate control.

  Contact Iguana Sports to find affordable rates on all of our great boats!

What type of boat rental should you order?  It depends on what you want to do on your vacation.  If you want to experience the thrill of a sixty-mile-per-hour watercraft then order a waverunner.  These Yamaha-produced vehicles are your own personal thrill ride on the water.  If you have a group of friends that aren’t used to water travel, then order a pontoon, which is similar to a tour boat.  If you have a larger party then go with the yacht.  It’s flashy, yes…but no one’s ever complained about a yacht party!

What if you want to do some quality fishing when you arrive at a Lake of the Ozarks vacation?  Then you can choose between a Fishing Tri-Toon, a Center Console, a Fishing Deckboat and a Bass Boat.  Tritoons are the slowest ride, while bass boats are made to be fast and powerful—strong enough to hold 1-3 anglers at once.  You can also opt for a mid-level boat that’s affordable and fast enough.  A deckboat, a runabout and a speedboat are popular options for fishing and sightseeing. 

Contact Iguana Sports for more information on popular boat rentals.  There are four locations in the Lake of the Ozarks area from our Headquarters location at the Bagnell Dam Strip to as far as the Sunset Beach Resort  or Coconuts Caribbean Beach Bar & Grill.

What are the best Lake of the Ozarks Hotels?  If you want to go all out and spend your full vacation fund then try one of the four-star hotels.  Some of the best four-star locations are also close to the central area of the lakes.  For example, the Rippling Waters Resort is near the central area and it offers a private fishing pond for children.  It also offers a variety of physical activities like hiking, mountain biking, golfing, and hang gliding.
