Surf boats, jet skis, and pontoons for Arizona’s most loved lake — just 35–40 minutes from Apache Junction. Pick up your ride from us, tow it to the ramp, and make a day of it under the canyon walls.
Saguaro Lake is the closest big-water playground to the East Valley — 1,200 acres of blue water wrapped in red canyon walls, with a full-service marina, wild horses on the shoreline, and room to surf, cruise, and rip. Whatever you’re into, Wave & Ridge has the boat for it.
Every rental is pickup-only from our Apache Junction shop. We hook you up, walk you through the trailer and brake controller, and send you off with everything you need for the day. No delivery games, no hidden fees — just a full tank and the open lake.

A little local know-how so your day runs smooth from the shop to the ramp.
Saguaro Lake sits in the Tonto National Forest about 35–40 minutes from our Apache Junction shop — an easy, scenic drive up the Bush Highway. You’ll pick up your rental from us and tow it to the lake.
Saguaro Lake Marina is full-service: paved launch ramps, a fuel dock, a restaurant, store, restrooms, and parking. Unlike the remote lakes, you’ve got everything you need for a full day right there.
The lake is on national forest land, so a Tonto Pass (day-use parking permit) or an America the Beautiful pass is required at the recreation sites. Grab a Tonto Pass online or at local retailers before you head up.
Keep an eye on the shoreline — Saguaro’s famous wild mustangs roam the surrounding forest and are often spotted from the water, especially early morning. Admire them from a distance and never approach or feed them.
Jet skis start at $199 for 2 hours ($219 for 4 hours, $349 for a full day). The Sea-Doo Switch pontoon is $449 for 4 hours or $699 for a full day. The Centurion RI 245 surf boat is $999 for 4 hours or $1,499 for a full day. Holiday weekends carry a 20% surcharge, and a refundable deposit is collected at pickup and returned the same day.
Saguaro Lake is about 35–40 minutes from our Apache Junction shop — a scenic drive up the Bush Highway. All of our rentals are pickup-only: you collect your jet ski, pontoon, or surf boat from us, and we walk you through hooking up the trailer, the brake controller, and launching before you head to the ramp.
Saguaro Lake is perfect for jet skiing, pontoon cruising, wakesurfing and wakeboarding, swimming, and scenic boating — all skill levels welcome. We rent jet skis, pontoons, and the Centurion RI 245 surf boat, each with life jackets and safety equipment included. Every rental goes out with a full tank; just bring it back full (or pay for the fuel used plus a $20 refueling fee).
No special boating license is required in Arizona for our rentals. To rent a jet ski you must be 21+ (and 16+ to operate one); pontoons and the surf boat require renters to be 25+. We give every renter a full pre-launch walkthrough so you’re confident on the water, whether it’s your first time or your hundredth.
Yes! One of Saguaro Lake’s signature features is its wild horse population. Free-roaming mustangs live in the surrounding Tonto National Forest and are often seen from the water, especially in early morning or late afternoon. Please observe from a safe distance and never approach or feed them.
Saguaro Lake Marina is a full-service destination with a restaurant, store, fuel dock, paved boat launch, restrooms, picnic areas, and parking. Unlike the more remote lakes, you’ll find everything you need for a complete day on the water.
Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are ideal, with perfect weather and great water conditions. Summer is hot and busy — book early. Winter is quieter with cooler water. Early-morning starts (7am–noon) get you the calmest water and the fewest crowds.
If a storm is forecast for your rental day, contact us before launch and we’ll reschedule at no charge — weather is handled by reschedule, not refund. Once you’re on the water, getting off safely if conditions change is your responsibility. Cancel 48 or more hours ahead for a full refund; inside 48 hours, deposits are non-refundable.
Pick your boat, pick your date, and we’ll have it ready and hooked up at pickup. Surf, cruise, or rip — the lake’s waiting.
