Check if a boat has gear for the specific watersport(s) you're planning to do. If you have your own gear, you're also welcome to bring it.
When this filter is applied, you'll see boats that accommodate one or more of the following: wakeboarding, wakesurfing, water skiing, kneeboarding or tubing.
Many include built-in wake towers for towing riders, ballast systems that shape larger wakes for surfing or boarding, powerful engines for quick acceleration, and specialized propellers optimized for towing. You’ll also often find features like spacious swim platforms for easy water access, onboard sound systems, and comfortable seating so everyone on board can relax between runs.
Filter your search to Captained boats. Then, look for mentions in the listing title or description about charter options catering to the watersport you want to do, or about the captain providing instruction.
Damage or lost items should be submitted through our Damage claim process within 48 hours of your trip. However, you should also communicate with the boat owner or captain as soon as possible to ensure safety and so they can help resolve situations quickly.
Local regulations for waterways may apply. Otherwise, check with the boat owner if you'll be renting and operating their boat. Individual owners may have their own policies and can steer you clear of any locations to avoid where watersports may be hazardous.
