Testimonials
Best boat rental on lake. Steve and his wife were awesome and went out of their way to get us in a pontoon during the busy season. Awesome lake.
Steve and his wife could not have been more accommodating. (the exact opposite of the other marina on the lake). They are new owners and are doing a great job. highly recommend
We recently rented a pontoon for the day and had a wonderful day! Steve and Marcella were welcoming and helpful and the marina was clean and organized. We left our favorite camp chairs behind and they were so kind to find and store them until we could return:)
Marcella and her family are absolutely amazing! We wanted something special to celebrate our daughter's high school graduation. Santeetlah Boat Rentals not only met, but far exceeded our expectations. Great communication and follow up. Nice personal touches. Little and big things that made for a wonderful and memorable family celebration of our graduate. I can't thank them enough. Highly recommend!
This year has been the hardest for our family. We lost an amazing husband and father to Covid. My father wanted a pontoon boat as well as have a family reunion the 4th of July. After his passing we still granted his wish and had all his family come to his favorite place as planned. We rented 5 pontoon boats and we were thinking this is going to be stressful with many people. Yet, it wasn’t and the owners were amazing and truly feel like family. My father would say the same. We will forever rent from them when we are in town. They were amazing and can’t put into words how they made this day even more special. Thank you - from the bottom of our hearts. The Schneider family ❤️
We had a great time. The staff are friendly, the rental rates are fantastic, and the boats are in tip top shape. We are definitely going back. Highly recommended.
We rented a deck boat and tube from this place two years in a row. The boats are clean and had brand new motor. We pulled kids around on tube for several hours. When bringing boat in I mentioned the gas gauge may be broken because it read full all day. We found out it wasn’t broken and only used about $10 in gas!! Beautiful day and great staff. We will be going back again!

Awesome! Great people, great equipment, easy to book online, and everything was ready to go upon arrival. Wonderful service and very friendly! We loved our day on Lake Santeetlah!
Marcella and Steve treated us like family. Marcella is always gracious, polite, and welcoming. Steve was super knowledgeable and helpful with navigating the lake. 5 star experience, absolutely recommend. Boats and tube we renter were excellent. We drove right past the other marina closer to our house and made the right choice at Santeetlah boat rentals.
I rented one of the big pontoon boats. Steve was a good coach and gave great instructions.
They made it so easy to go out and have a great time. This lake is an absolute treasure.
I highly recommend Santeetlah boat rentals. They take care of you and want you to have great time. It was such a blessing to find such good people to do business with.
Kind Regards

I had never rented a boat before so it was a new experience. However, the staff at the "Santeelah Boat Rentals " were helpful and made out experience fun and one we won't forget. The boat was great, the river was great and we can't wait to go again!
We had such a great experience with Santeetlah Boat Rentals! They were very friendly and family oriented. Such a great value as well. We spent the whole day enjoying the beauty and tranquility of Lake Santeetlah! Simon is 9 months old and LOVED every minute of it! I hope that we get back this way again! Thanks!
My family had a wonderful day on the water with a pontoon from Santeetlah Boat Rentals!! The boat ran like a dream & gave us the opportunity to see all of Lake Santeetlah! They were very helpful from the time of making the reservation to the time we boarded the boat!! And everyone we encountered was super friendly, making us feel welcome & totally at home!! If/when we decide to rent again, Santeetlah Boat Rentals is the place we’ll be going to!! Thanks for everything!!

Getting back to Mother Nature
Want to hike where the Indians and mystical panther made their way centuries before Columbus discovered America? Are you seeking an encounter with wildlife which can be from the continent to continent traveling hummingbird, the kingfisher with its unique cry and pattern of flight, even the coyote or possibly a bear? With their “reintroduction” into the mountains the chances grow each day that you just might hear the bellow of the Elk that resonated through the valleys and ridges so long ago. You might just spot signs of the Red Wolf or catch the faintest glimpse as they reinhabit their natural habitat. Perhaps as evening falls and “night sounds” begin to awake there could be the splash of the otter, the beaver, then the song of the whippoorwill, followed by the “Who, Who, Who” of the owl or hair raising song of the screech owl. The night sky appears so close and the stars so brilliant, you can almost hear the whish of the hand of God as He placed them with His word. Perhaps you will come to enjoy the unique sunrise or sunset that can only be experienced on a mountain lake. Knowing from the sheer beauty experienced on your trip is just the beginning of your adventure, that sunrises and sunsets are not the only fantastic sights to be found. All these are yours alone and available only on your private and ever-changing excursion.

Looking for an adventure, awesome beauty, abounding excitement, or absolute peace and quiet? Lake Santeetlah is a hidden oasis with the coolness of the mountains where each direction you look, see, or turn, day or night, beauty and endless possibilities are right in your path.

Perhaps your dreaming of finding your own personal “hideaway” to picnic, swim, kayak, or just relax among sights, sounds and freshness that cannot be duplicated anywhere else on earth. Traveling individually, as a couple, or family there is something for everyone.
A little something for everyone
Are you young or just young at heart? Possibly the seasoned fisherman, back country trekker, or adventurer that desires a new possibility each direction you look? Lake Santeetlah also has a wide variety of fish that will entertain the fishermen. The most popular being smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and walleye. The lake also has a good population of crappie, bream and lake trout. Until recently Lake Santeetlah was home to the state record largemouth and walleye. The trophy bass awaits you.
