Flathead Lake Speedboat - Half Day Rental
Description
Grab the wheel and spend a half day exploring Flathead Lake — Montana’s largest natural lake — aboard your own large speedboat. Starting from Big Arm, MT on the western shoulder of Flathead Lake, this self-guided 4-hour rental puts 27+ miles of open water at your fingertips, with easy access to Wild Horse Island, quiet coves, and open-water cruising.
Before you head out, the team walks you through a quick, friendly orientation covering everything you need to operate the boat safely and confidently. If you’d rather sit back and enjoy the view, a captain can even be arranged in advance to do the driving for you.
Once you're underway, the lake is yours: cruise toward Wild Horse Island State Park, drop anchor for a swim, or simply enjoy Flathead Lake’s mountain views at your own pace. Life jackets are included for everyone on board, and dogs are welcome on select boats with advance notice.
Boat rentals operate seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day, so this half-day speedboat rental is a warm-weather Flathead Lake favorite

How to I refuel the boat?
You must fill the boat 15 min prior to your return time at Big Arm Marina just west of our dock. If the marina gas dock is closed we will make arrangements with you regarding refueling your boat on the date of your rental.
