Boat Rentals?

Don't have a boat, would like to try out a Jet-Ski or your large group can't fit in your runabout???  Renting a boat for the day, weekend or even the entire week is your answer.  The Claus Haus is conveniently located to a couple of the best rental options on the entire lake.  Call well ahead to reserve your rental, especially during prime season.

Springs Dock: Closest Marina by car, so if you don't have any water transportation, this is your best bet.  They have Jet-Ski, Runabout, Pontoon, Party barge, fishing boat and Houseboats.

ShangHai: Only a few minutes via water, about a 20 minute drive by land.  Well worth the trip.  Simply, the best marina on Norris Lake.  Nicest facilities and people.  They have Jet-Ski, Runabout, Pontoon and Party barge rentals.
