Operated by Rentals of the Carolina Upstate · Seneca, South Carolina
Lake Hartwell, sprawling across the borders of South Carolina and Georgia, stands as one of the Southeast's premier freshwater playgrounds. Known for its 56,000 sprawling acres and nearly 1,000 miles of shoreline, this man-made reservoir invites boaters, anglers, and water enthusiasts to experience a vast aquatic landscape framed by rolling hills and hardwood forests. At the heart of the Upstate South Carolina outdoor scene, Rentals of the Carolina Upstate carves out a standout niche with its Five Day Watercraft Rental offering, delivering a premium boating experience unlike any other in the region.
This rental includes access to two standout pontoon boats: the Viaggio L22U and L22S. The L22U features a distinctive U-shaped seating arrangement, ideal for socializing while cruising, coupled with a Simrad Bluetooth radio system and a robust 150hp engine that propels you effortlessly across the water. For those who prefer open space and lounger comfort, the L22S offers a sleek open layout, an analog Bluetooth audio setup, and the same powerful motor. Both boats come equipped with one tank of gas, twelve adult life vests, and a Yeti cooler packed with ice to keep your beverages chilled as you navigate the lake’s coves and gentle currents.
Featuring an intuitive combination of power and comfort, this five-day rental allows visitors to pace their adventure—whether it’s anchoring for a lakeside picnic, fishing in quieter bays, or racing from one scenic inlet to the next. The invitation extends beyond typical holiday weekends, though these periods see heightened demand and a modest rate increase due to busy waters.
