Boat Rental on Smith Mountain Lake

I recommend booking your boat as soon as you know your travel dates. There are several places to rent but they do get booked quickly in the summertime. Places also rent skis and tubes. Our favorite place to book is Westlake Boat Rentals. Their boats are always on the new side and very clean!
