Renting Jet Skis For The Entire Weekend?

jkjoshuatree · 03-07-2007, 12:36 PM

Does anyone know of a place? I'm looking for a place on the lake so I don't have worry about towing it.

Thank you.

who in their right mind would want to rent a jetski this time of year for an hour let alone a weekend at Lake Winni.

We rented a boat and driver from Anchor Marine last year and we had a blast. My nephew who was a first timer to NH and to water skiing did really well, in fact got up on the first time, with tutoring from the driver. If my nephew decides to come up again, we will definitely do this again.

Thank you Anchor Marine!

The Entire week-end ??

I'm sure there would be a few places that would accomadate your need (Anchor Marine as indicated above .... there's also another down by Handy LAnding) --- but based on what I remember hearing last year for "hourly" rates -- bring your Platinum Card (not gold) !! You seriously might be better off renting a boat for the week-end vs. a couple of jets. Also consider that "jets" are a MP target (especially rentals)!! A boat (even smallish) can be a lot more versitile for getting around and can obviously handle (seat more comfortably) more people. There are a number of Marina's that will rent boats for multiple days -- I know Fay's did a season or two ago

Good Luck

There were a couple of places that rented semi-long term like that and both of them would deliver the machines to you if you rented them for more than a half-day. The place on Rte 3 on Winnisquam seems to ring a bell as one of them. The other, the guy had a billboard sign in the back of his pick-up truck and did some local advertising, I seem to remember used two telephone numbers...Laconia/Gilford area and Wolfboro area. Again, he would also deliver them to you. Seem to remember seeing his truck parked at Christmas Island alot, you might try asking there. Check with some of the local PWC dealers...someone had to sell and service those machines.

I did some research for my company summer of 05 for renting a few jetskis for a day. Based on that data if you rented 2 for a weekend you'd be paying ~$750 each. The rental places make big money renting on weekends and no way would they discount renting 2 for the weekend as both would bring full dollars anyway.

I know there is a guy that rents in the big lake over by the Burger King in Paugus Bay. I think his company name is Winnasquam Jet Ski and he has the site that was mentioned on Rte 3 by the lake.
I am pretty sure Bob an Anchor Marine doesn't rent overnight. But he is the place I rented from before I purchased.
Good luck and have fun.

Thank you.

Curious minds need to know...

Lots of suggestions; but without any follow-up from you...

What was your final decision and would you do it again?
