The Narrows Yacht Club is a waterfront rental operation located on Lake Leelanau, Michigan, offering on-site boat and non-motorized rentals for visitors and residents. It provides a range of watercraft including a brand-new 13' Aluminum John fishing boat powered by a Suzuki 9.9 hp outboard, a 10' Boston Whaler tender with a new Yamaha outboard, single kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. For larger groups, pontoon options include a Deluxe 24ft pontoon with a 115 horsepower engine and a Standard 22ft pontoon with up to 90 horsepower, suited for fishing or leisurely cruising.
The Narrows Yacht Club also offers premium electric bicycles — the 2023 Norco Scene VLT — in small, medium, and large sizes for land-based exploration. Rentals are available across flexible durations, from half-day outings to full-week rentals, enabling short excursions or extended lake access. On-site non-motorized rentals remove the need for delivery, allowing guests to launch directly from the property.
Equipment lists and specific engine types are provided for transparent expectations; popular uses include fishing, cruising, sunbathing, visiting sandbars, and shoreline exploration. Practical details such as identification requirements and recommended swimwear are noted with certain rentals.
By focusing on documented inventory—including model years and engine brands—and on-site availability, The Narrows Yacht Club presents verifiable rental options on Lake Leelanau for people seeking boating, paddling, or e-bike experiences.
