Lake Harris Boat Rentals

Lake Harris Boat Rentals puts Leesburg’s namesake lake directly into its business name and operates out of a Ball Park Road location near Venetian Gardens, giving renters straightforward access to the Harris Chain of Lakes, a connected network of lakes and canals that has made this part of Lake County a longtime draw for boaters and anglers. Unlike Adventure Boat Share’s membership model based at the same address, Lake Harris Boat Rentals runs a more conventional straight rental operation, hourly and multi hour bookings on a defined fleet, no membership commitment required.

The fleet mixes practical and recreational boat types across a fairly wide price range. On the affordable end, a Craigcat, a small, simple personal watercraft style boat, starts around 49 dollars, a reasonable entry point for someone who just wants to get out on the water for an hour or two without much fuss. Moving up, a 17 foot Tracker 175 bass boat starts around 150 dollars, aimed squarely at anglers looking to fish the Chain of Lakes, an area with a strong regional reputation among bass fishermen. At the top of the lineup sit several pontoon options, a 20 foot Ranger Cruise Pontoon, a 22 foot Bennington, a 22 foot Sweetwater Cruise Pontoon, a 22 foot Sun Tracker Fishing Pontoon, and a 24 foot Sun Tracker Party Barge, running from roughly 200 to 275 dollars depending on the model and rental length, with most options available in both 4 hour and 8 hour blocks to fit either a half day outing or a full day on the water.

That range of options, from a budget personal watercraft to a full sized party pontoon that can comfortably hold a group, makes the business a reasonable fit for a wide swath of visitors: a couple wanting a quiet sunset cruise, a family looking to spend a full day on the water together, or a group of friends chasing bass on a rented boat rather than hauling their own trailer down from out of town. The company’s own marketing leans on the Harris Chain’s reputation for what it calls world renowned fishing alongside more general scenic cruising, and the rental hours, open daily from 8:30 in the morning to 5 in the evening, give renters a full window to plan either a half day or full day trip without an early morning rush.

Lake Harris Boat Rentals maintains an active Facebook page and appears on TripAdvisor and Google, giving prospective renters a few places to check recent visitor feedback and current boat availability before booking a spot on the water.
