Lake Murray Boat Rentals is South Carolina’s #1 source for fun on Lake Murray, based at Acapulco Marina off Hwy 378, about 20 minutes from Lexington. The business runs a fleet of 12 rental boats, including four 2025 models, with owner Randy and team pointing to well-maintained, pet-friendly boats that are ideal for a day of fishing on the lake.
A standout feature is the business’s flexibility for vacationers: as one of the few Lake Murray rental companies allowing overnight mooring, guests staying at an Airbnb or rental home can keep the boat at their own dock for the entire stay, with delivery available for a fee. No prior boating experience is required, and the team takes pride in teaching new boaters how to safely navigate Lake Murray’s waters.
Tri-toon rates run from $365 Monday-Friday or $400 Saturday-Sunday, with rental hours running 9am-6pm and a refundable $400 damage deposit per pontoon. Towable tubes (rope and vest included) are available at 20% off the regular $45 price at checkout. Multi-day deals are also available for longer stays.
Guest reviews consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable, and professional service, with repeat customers specifically highlighting easy online booking, clean and reliable boats, and fair handling of weather-related issues (including a partial refund for a rained-out rental day).
For visitors and locals looking for a reliable, flexible pontoon or tri-toon rental on Lake Murray — including overnight mooring for vacationers — Lake Murray Boat Rentals offers a highly reviewed operation at Acapulco Marina.
