About our pontoon rentals

Discover the ultimate way to savor the picturesque beauty of the lake with our pontoon boat rentals! We present a diverse fleet for your choosing, perfect for your lake vacation.

Our premium pontoons boast enhanced furnishings, increased deck space, and a powerful Bimini top, ensuring an unmatched quality in rental boats. 

We work with you to make your vacation effortless! Book online and we deliver directly to you, at your rental or at a public access, and pick-up the boat at the end of the rental.

Our rental day is from 8:00am until 5:30pm. We are open from mid-May until the end of September. 

Our Policies 

  • Minimum age to rent is 25.
  • Only licensed drivers on the rental contract are allowed to drive.
  • Overnight rentals require a dock to secure the boat. We do not offer docking space on any lake.
  • Life jackets are required for children under 13 per state law.
  • All drivers must be familiar with Indiana boating laws: https://www.in.gov/dnr/law-enforcement/education/boating-education-and-safety/

Reservations

Reservations can be made online or over the phone. If you are booking for a lake outside of Steuben county, please call us and we will work with you. 

Deposits

One-third of the total rental cost is due when reserving the boat as a down payment. The rest of the amount is due 14 days before the rental start date. Reservations made within 14 days are required to pay in full. A $300 incidental deposit is required at the start of the rental on a major credit card. 

Cancellations 

We allow cancellations up to 14 days before the start date of rental for a full refund of the down payment. Within 14 days, the down payment will only be returned if we are able to re-rent the pontoon. 

Rentals

Our boats come with the first tank of gas, adult life jackets, and two sandbar augers so you're ready to enjoy your day on the lake!

Rental Returns

We ask that you return the boats with a full tank of REC 90 fuel, available on most lakes at marinas. 

An extra $50 cleaning fee will apply to boats returned dirty with trash left aboard. A $25 fee plus the cost of gas will be charged for boats returned without a full tank. A 'rescue' fee of $50 will be charged if you run out of gas, have a dead battery, or need other assistance while boating. A $200 fee is charged for damaged props.

Marian

What our renters think

I rented last summer for my sister's birthday in August. It was a great experience! From reservation to return at the end of the day - it was seamless. The pontoon was new, immaculate, and easy to use touring the entire lake. Already booked for Summer 2024 again.

Daniel

What our renters think

"Just finished a pontoon rental supplied by 101 Lakes Pontoon Rentals in Angola, IN. I'd like to give them a shout out for their flexibility in accommodating our needs. Mackenzie was so helpful and contributed to a lovely day exploring the local lakes. The boat was extremely comfortable and in tip-top condition. If you are in the area and looking to rent a pontoon I would highly recommend them. They are a 5 star business in my book! Very satisfied customers."
