Good to know
Winter visitor questions, answered.
How old do I need to be to rent?
Boats and the Can-Am are 25 and up to rent. Jet skis are 21 and up to rent, and anyone 16 and up can operate one as long as the renter is on site with them.
Do you deliver to the lake?
No. Every rental is pickup only from 724 E Scenic St, Apache Junction. You need a tow-capable vehicle with a suitable tow rating and a 2-inch receiver. The Can-Am trailer requires a minimum 5,000-lb tow rating. Call us to check your setup. No ball mount? We rent a hitch for $20. No tow vehicle? Ask about using a U-Haul. We take $20 off 4-hour and 8-hour rentals toward the rental cost; mileage is not included.
Is Canyon Lake open this winter?
Canyon Lake closed to the public September 8, 2026 for dam work and is expected to stay closed into late 2026 or early 2027. Saguaro Lake is not part of the closure. Check current access and conditions before your lake day. Bulldog Canyon is a desert trail destination.
Is fuel included?
Every rental goes out with a full tank. Return it full, or pay the cost of fuel plus a $20 refueling fee. Pontoon rentals include life jackets, a tube and a speaker. Can-Am rentals include helmets, goggles, a permit and trail maps; its trailer is an $80/day add-on.
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card, not a charge, and it is released the same day after a clean return. Optional Damage Protection has plan-specific limits and exclusions. Deposit reductions depend on the plan. Read the plan terms before choosing. THIS IS NOT INSURANCE.
What if the weather turns or plans change?
Cancel 7 or more days before your start for a refund minus the $49 booking fee and any purchased protection fees. Inside 7 days, there is no refund; a one-time reschedule credit is available up to 48 hours before your start, subject to availability. Travel Protection costs 10% of rental charges and must be purchased at booking. It allows cancellation for any reason up to 24 hours before your start, with the $49 booking fee and purchased protection fees retained. THIS IS NOT INSURANCE. If a storm is forecast, contact us before launch to reschedule at no charge. Weather rescheduling does not provide a refund.
What are your winter hours?
Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM. Closed Sunday. Early starts are welcome: arrive one hour before your rental for hookup, the walk-through and the safety briefing.
How does the $50 referral work?
Your friend books and mentions your name. After their ride is complete, you choose a $50 Visa gift card or $50 off your next rental. Text us at (480) 637-4848 if you want to check on one.
