About Captain Marney's Boat Rental
Captain Marney's Boat Rental has been putting visitors on Lake Placid's pristine waters for decades, operating from their dock right on the lake. They carry one of the widest fleets of motorized watercraft in the Adirondack region, making them a natural first stop for anyone looking to explore the lake under power.
The rental lineup includes speedboats, pontoon boats, deck boats, canoes, kayaks, water skis, wakeboards, and towable tubes. Pontoon boats are available in multiple sizes for larger groups, while their speedboats suit families and watersports enthusiasts who want to pull a skier or wakeboarder. Hourly and full-day rates are offered, and no boating license is required for most rentals.
Captain Marney's stands out for its lakeside convenience — you park, walk to the dock, and you're on the water in minutes. Their staff walks every renter through boat operation and safety before departure, and they know the best spots on the lake for swimming, fishing, and sightseeing. It's a no-frills, family-run operation that locals and repeat visitors swear by.
