Smith Mountain Boat Rentals & Boating

Smith Mountain Boat Rentals and Boating

Whether you rent at a marina (see listings below) or bring your own boat and use one of the six public docking areas or a marina to launch, with over 500 miles of shoreline, you can get totally away from the crowd and anchor in a quiet cove for a day of fishing, swimming or relaxing in the sun. There are plenty of Smith Mountain Lake boat rental options at the lake. Make some new friends when you visit one of our marinas where boaters gather for every-thing from boating supplies to food and entertainment.

If you’re a novice or beginner, the lake is a great place to take a course in boat safety or learn how to sail – SML Sailing School, – but you don’t have to be the captain to enjoy time on the water. Check out the SML Boating Association’s activities and events. For a real treat, try the “Virginia Dare”, a luxurious side-wheeler offering tour cruises that highlight the sights around the lake including luncheon and dinner cruises with great entertainment.
