Usher in the summer season this year with some fun and quality time on the lake via a vessel from Better Boating Marina on Lake Murray. Located right in the middle of the state, Lake Murray affords visitors 50,000 acres of watery surface on which to float. The lake is peppered with fingers that extend from the 650-mile shoreline toward the center of the lake, making so many perfect spots to pull over and tie off for a bit.
When it comes to marine rentals on this South Carolina lake, we can’t recommend a marina more than Better Boating, which earns a solid five stars from TripAdvisor reviewers.

The two-story party boat is a great choice. Named the “Double D,” this cruiser is 27 feet long and features…

an upper deck with a sliding board for added fun on the water. It can hold up to 14 passengers, so start narrowing down the guest list!

If the Double D is a bit more than you can bite off at the moment, consider starting smaller, with a pedal boat. The kids are sure to fall in love with this fun floater. (And, shhhh… if you sit in the middle you can be assured you won’t be the one who’s pedaling!)
