Question 1

How do I use the mile marker filter?

Accepted Answer

Mile markers (MM) run from 1 near Bagnell Dam to 92 at the far end of the lake. Set the range to match where you're staying — a marina 20+ miles away adds significant travel time on the water.

Question 2

Are gas and fees included in the listed prices?

Accepted Answer

No — most boat rental companies at Lake of the Ozarks charge gas separately, and some add a maintenance fee per hour. Always ask for the true cost estimate when booking. We flag these clearly on each listing.

Question 3

What does "deposit waived with driver" mean?

Accepted Answer

Some companies will waive the damage deposit entirely if you hire a driver from their approved pool. The driver is paid separately (typically in cash) but eliminates your financial liability for damage.

Question 4

When do I need full-day reservations only?

Accepted Answer

In-season Saturdays and Holiday Weekend Sundays are typically full-day-only at most marinas. Weekdays and off-season periods have more flexibility for 2-hour and 4-hour rentals.

Question 5

What is a "No Fault Cancellation" policy?

Accepted Answer

It means you can cancel for any reason and receive a refund (minus a small processing fee) as long as you give adequate notice — typically 48 hours. Holiday weekends usually require 14 days notice. This is significantly better than non-refundable deposits common at other marinas.

Question 6

How many people can fit on a tritoon?

Accepted Answer

Most tritoons at LOTO seat 10–12 passengers comfortably. Always confirm the legal capacity with the rental company — weight limits (not just headcount) apply.
