Make the most of Beaver Lake while you are with us.  Available only to registered guests of Beaver Lakefront Cabins, we have either a 20-foot pontoon or a 16-foot lake explorer / fishing boat, each designed to accommodate a variety of uses and activities.  Rental times are from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM, 2:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and for great candle-lit dinners or all-night fishing, from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Please note that there are some age-based operator restrictions as detailed below.

20-Foot Party & Fishing Pontoon Boat

The pontoon boat is loaded with amenities including a collapsible canopy for sun or shade, a well-cushioned tanning deck, wrap-around lounge seating, an AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo system, swivel dining table, built-in ice chest and a handheld GPS navigation system.  For swimming, there is a convenient pop-up changing room to get in and out of your swimsuit and a four-step boarding ladder for easy lake access.  The boat comes with a small, gas barbecue grill.  For a small fee, we also offer a four-person dinner kit, which includes cooking utensils, cutting board, coffee pot and tableware for relaxing picnics or romantic, moonlight dinners . . . and we’ll do the dishes!

If it’s fishing you’re after, our pontoon boat is equipped with two live wells, two high-backed swivel seats, a Garmin 145 fish finder, a spotlight to attract fish and find your way through the dark, a fishing pole box, racks and an anchor.  The boat can be rented for the night or for an extended excursion, you may combine consecutive time slots at reduced rates as detailed below.

16-Foot Lake Explorer & Fishing Boat

Faster and more maneuverable than the pontoon boat, we call this little gem the Lake Explorer because that's just what it does.  Although not shown in the photograph to the left, the Lake Explorer is equipped with a collapsible canopy for shade, trolling motor, combination depth gauge and fish finder, a portable GPS system for ease of navigation, an ice compartment and all the standard safety items, plus two 5-gallon gas tanks for peace of mind.

While you're exploring the lake, the front seat stays in the lower section of the boat which also gives you space to lay out a beach towel on the nose while finding that lush, secluded cove or magnificent bluff formation for a lunch spot.  When it's time to fish, the passenger seat relocates to the nose next to the trolling motor for convenient casting with a partitioned live well conveniently located behind.

And as with the pontoon boat, all of our rates include gas, oil and sales tax.  There's no need to worry about how much gas you're using or where to fill up on the lake.  We take the hassle out of it--just bring the boat back to the dock, turn in the keys and forget about everything except the wonderful time you've just had on the lake.

If you were born on or after January 1, 1986 and will be driving the boat, you must present a valid Boater Education Certificate showing the completion of an approved Arkansas Game and Fish Commission safe boating course or a valid boater education certificate issued by another state from a boating education course approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators.  Unfortunately, this previously simple procedure has become more complicated.  You must pay a fee and take this course online, print out your results proving that you passed the online course, present your results at a state testing center, retake and pass a similar test in person at the closest testing center where the tests are only offered on the second Tuesday of each month.  After passing the in-person test, the certificate will be mailed to your home.  For more information, please check out the Arkansas Boating Education website.  Again, these regulations only apply to persons born after January 1, 1986. You may find that getting the license in your home state is easier than jumping through all the Arkansas loopholes.  At any rate, should you be so lucky to be that young, you will need to start the process early to be eligible to rent a boat when you arrive.

Cancellation & Weather Policy: Boat reservations may be cancelled up to 48 hours prior to arrival.  Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice are non-refundable unless we can re-book your reservation.  However, if it is raining or the radar shows that rain is imminent on the date and time of your reservation, we will refund your reservation by check without a cancellation fee or allow you to reschedule, subject to availability.
