Tri-County Boat Rental has served Lake Keowee and the Upstate for more than 20 years, led by owner Jay, offering upscale, clean, safe, and dependable pontoon, tri-toon, ski boat, and deck boat rentals delivered across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. The business specializes in multi-day and multi-week rentals, with a 2-day minimum (3-day minimum on major holidays).
The fleet includes the Hurricane 201 Fun Deck (great for water sports), the Bentley 243 Cruise Tri-toon (a spacious luxury option for larger groups), the Bentley 2400 Pontoon (a smooth-riding family option), and the Sea Ray 210 Sun Deck (performance and comfort combined). Every boat comes equipped with a large waterproof lake map, Lowrance Elite5 GPS navigation, all USCG safety equipment, Bimini tops for shade, plush seating, and an AM/FM/Bluetooth/MP3 stereo. Water accessories including skis, ski tubes, kneeboards, and wakeboards are available with any rental (not offered separately), and a free 30-minute demo is included with every booking.
Tri-County delivers directly to the customer’s chosen landing anywhere on the lake, launches the boat, and reviews all safety equipment before handing over the keys — then picks it up at the end of the rental. The business serves Lake Keowee (its home lake and primary destination, with free delivery to select locations), Lake Hartwell (GA/SC), Lake Jocassee, Lake Glenville (NC), and Lake Summit (NC).
Guest reviews consistently praise Jay by name for going above and beyond, with several guests specifically mentioning how he stepped in to save a vacation when another company’s reservation fell through, along with clean, well-maintained boats and a smooth pickup and return process.
Cancellation policy: a minimum $65 fee applies to all cancellations, rising to $250 within two weeks of the reservation, and the full rental rate is charged for cancellations within 72 hours or no-shows.
For visitors and locals looking to rent a pontoon, tri-toon, ski boat, or deck boat delivered directly to Lake Keowee, Lake Hartwell, Lake Jocassee, or nearby North Carolina lakes, Tri-County Boat Rental offers a highly reviewed, 20+ year operation led personally by Jay.
