Johnson's Boats & Motors Rentals – How It Works
Renting pontoons can be a fun and memorable experience. Our goal is to make your time on the water happy and trouble free. With that being said, here are a few things to make sure that happens.
Wisconsin State Law
Wisconsin law states you must be born before January 1, 1989 in order to operate a watercraft WITHOUT a Boater's Safety license. If you were born after this date, you will be required to take the Boater's safety test before you can rent a boat. Your temporary certificate will need to be scanned, emailed or faxed to us at least 10 days prior to rental delivery date.
The course covers all the information you'll need to know to receive your temporary boating certificate. The entire course can be taken on a smartphone, tablet, or computer www.boat-ed.com/wisconsinrental

No. We will deliver and pick up the rental.
How Do I Get the Rental?
We deliver the rental to you at the set date/time/location.
Example:
Saturday the 23rd we will meet you at the Hwy C landing at 9:00am to drop the boat off, show you how to run it and answer any questions you may have. Monday the 25th we will meet you at the same landing at 9:00am. We understand you are on vacation and may not be paying attention to clocks, however you will be charged $1 per minute you are late. Our delivery guys run on a very tight schedule, so please be there on time.
Delivery Times?
Monday thru Saturday 9:00am to 4:00pm. We do not deliver or pick up on Sundays. You must be there for us to drop it off and pick it up.
Can I Tube With These? We DO NOT have tubes available for rent! But we do have tube packages available for you to purchase. Infant and child vests are available upon request. Now... THESE ARE NOT ski boats, they are pontoons. Depending on how many people and how much weight you have on the boat, they will go around 10 mph. With that being said, for most kids they will do the trick and provide just an extra activity for the water.
