Adventure Tips

Bring a Valid Driver’s License

Renters must present a valid driver's license to operate the pontoon at Wateree Marina.

Pack Life Jackets for Kids Under 90 Pounds

Wateree Marina does not provide life jackets for children under 90 lbs, so bring your own to ensure safety.

Fuel Up Before You Go

Check fuel levels and fill up if necessary, as rentals come with powerful 90-hp engines that can consume fuel steadily.

No Anchors Provided

Plan your trip with continuous cruising or swimming stops at accessible shorelines, since anchors aren’t supplied with pontoon rentals.
