Rent a boat or take a tour?
Rent if someone in your group is comfortable driving a boat and wants to explore at your own pace. Pontoons and tritoons are the easy choice for families and for pulling up on a beach. Take a tour if you'd rather sit back: a cruise under the London Bridge, a dinner cruise in Laughlin, or a guided kayak trip to Emerald Cave.
Where boats leave from
- Lake Havasu: the biggest boating scene on the river, around the London Bridge, the Bridgewater Channel and Lake Havasu State Park.
- Topock Gorge: north of Lake Havasu, a red-rock canyon on the river between the lake and Needles.
- Laughlin and Bullhead City: the river runs between the Laughlin casinos and Bullhead City, with Katherine Landing on Lake Mohave just upstream.
- Willow Beach and the Black Canyon: the cold, clear stretch below Hoover Dam, home of Emerald Cave.
- Lake Mead: marinas at Callville Bay and near Boulder City, about 30 to 45 minutes from Las Vegas.
Before you book
- Spring weekends, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day are the busiest times on the river. Book rentals a week or more ahead for those dates.
- Summer afternoons are often well over 100°F. Bring more water than you think you need, and go early or late in the day.
- Prices change by date and boat. The Book button shows the real price for your date.
- Most boat rentals need a driver who is at least 21, and most jet ski rentals need a driver who is at least 18. Check each listing.
