Boater Safety on Lake Lewisville

We want your day on the lake to be memorable for all the right reasons, and for us, it begins with a singular concept: A full commitment to boater safety.

Before you ever get on the water, we complete a preparation process with our boaters that starts with confirming your Texas Parks and Wildlife Boater Safety Education standing. Those born before September 1, 1993 are not required to have a boater safety education, but 69 percent of all boater fatalities in 2024 were by boaters who did not have boater education, and it is a recurring theme each year. Education saves lives.

When you arrive, our team will guide you through a few preparatory steps.

  1. We communicate the specifications and nuances of the watercraft you’re about to rent, and any necessary supporting information (such as weather conditions or where you’ll encounter high lake traffic).
  2. We walk your group through the safety points of life jackets, tow ropes, and all equipment, with the opportunity to ask questions. It doesn’t matter if you’re an old salt or a first-time boater–we want everyone to have the same sense of confidence going into their trip.
  3. Each vessel is equipped with a map of Lake Lewisville that highlights areas of interest for fishing, skiing, cruising, restaurants, and areas to be avoided like low-water areas and waters with underwater trees. We will walk you through points of interest and answer any questions.

What Our Customers Say

Amazing experience!! This was our first time driving a boat and the team explained everything we needed to know. They were friendly and it was wonderful!

Michelle Prazak

The rental process was very smooth and my family had an amazing time. It was clean and spacious. We will be returning soon and highly recommend this marina!

Jennifer Rivera

TJ Carrasco

This is the second year we have rented a pontoon boat and like always the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The boats are very nice and roomy.

Irene Johnson

Best pontoon boat rental we've had so far. While loading four little kids, I appreciated the staff for providing a rental form already filled in, and for getting us on the water quickly with life jackets of all sizes. We like that CCBR included fuel in the rental price, and an anchor for the boat. Great experience.

Sean Tremblay

We've had a lot of issues with other shady boat rental places in the area, and we've lost a lot of faith in them until we started coming here! We've had zero issues, the boats are nice, staff is great and the location is simple to get to.

I highly recommend this place! 5 STARS! The best part is gas is included, and apparently that doesn't happen at most places. This place has helped us restore our faith in boat rentals!

MUST GO!

Danielle Celmer-Yell

Had an amazing time riding the wave runners. After the first hour the weather took a turn for the worst. The staff was extremely helpful and offered us a rain check for another day. Ryan made sure our experience was enjoyable and ensured we would return in the future.

Richard Valle

Awesome service and friendly staff. I highly recommend and I am a lake person it was awesome. The rental fee includes the gas, which I have discovered is not the norm! Will definitely use again.

Jeannea Hendrickson

You can tell it is family owned by how you are treated. Exceptional service. And there are discounts for active and prior service military. On the weekdays there is an additional discount.
