Stars and Stripes Pontoon Rentals is a veteran-owned business offering pontoon and tritoon rentals on Lake Keowee, along with golf cart rentals and separate boat/RV storage services in Pickens, South Carolina (near Lake Jocassee, Keowee, and Hartwell). The business prides itself on quality rentals at an affordable rate, with pontoon pickup and drop-off at Mile Creek Park landing on Six Mile.
The 2026 fleet features 24-foot pontoons and tritoons with room for 10 riders, powered by 140 HP Suzuki four-stroke motors, plenty for a great day on the lake. Every boat includes a state-of-the-art lake navigation and water depth system, a tube tow bar, Bimini top, swim ladder, and a Bluetooth stereo with speakers throughout. Golf cart rentals are also available daily, partial-week, or weekly.
Single-day pontoon rentals (10am pickup, 5pm drop-off) run seasonally: $350/day January-April and October-December, $400/day May 1-21 and September 8-30, and $450/day weekdays ($500 weekends/holidays) during peak season, May 22-September 7 — all plus fuel. Renting 4 consecutive days drops the rate to a flat $350/day year-round. A tube with tow rope rents for $25/day or $100/week. Renters must be 25 or older, with a $5 Mile Creek Park parking pass required and a $100 refundable deposit (48-hour cancellation notice needed).
Separately, the business offers self-easy-access boat, RV, camper, and utility trailer storage in a fenced, surveillance-monitored yard, available on monthly or yearly agreements (yearly plans offer a discount), plus utility trailer rentals at $50/day.
With 30 reviews at a 5.0 average, Stars and Stripes has built an excellent reputation for straightforward, veteran-owned service on Lake Keowee.
For visitors and locals looking for a pontoon, tritoon, or golf cart rental on Lake Keowee — or separate boat and RV storage in the Upstate — Stars and Stripes Pontoon Rentals offers a highly reviewed, veteran-owned operation out of Pickens.
