Lake Murray SC Rentals is a locally owned, family-operated watercraft rental business in Chapin, South Carolina, offering a one-stop shop for watersports needs on Lake Murray. The team includes a certified marine technician and lifelong Lake Murray residents, with no clubs to join or membership fees required — rentals run by the hour or by the week.

The fleet includes pontoon boats, bowriders, and personal watercraft (jet skis), along with canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, towable tubes, Sunchill/Megachill inflatable loungers, and water trampolines. Renters must be 25 to reserve a boat or jet ski, or 18 for kayaks and paddleboards, and vessel operation is strictly prohibited from dusk to dawn (violations result in loss of the security deposit). All rentals include life jackets, paddles, safety equipment, and insurance in the price, with a 3% credit card processing fee added at checkout.

Beyond rentals, the business also offers lakefront vacation rentals (“Sunrise” house and “Pool” house), giving visitors a full lake getaway package. The team maintains a helpful guide to nearby Lake Murray marinas and restaurants for gas, food, and drinks, including Siesta Cove, Jake’s Landing, Lighthouse Marina, Lake Murray Marina, and Southshore Marina.

Cancellations 7+ days out receive a full refund, 3-6 days out receive 50%, and 1-2 days out receive no refund; weather cancellations are handled at the owner’s discretion. Security deposits are refunded when the boat is returned undamaged, clean, and on time, with a $50 late fee applied every 15 minutes past the return deadline.

For visitors and locals on Lake Murray looking to rent a pontoon, bowrider, jet ski, kayak, paddleboard, or water trampoline, Lake Murray SC Rentals offers a well-reviewed, family-run operation with lakefront vacation lodging also available.
