Experiencing Big Bear Marina
Lake Tours
Whether you’re traveling solo or with a group, taking a boat tour across Big Bear Lake is a perfect summer activity. The folks at Big Bear Marina feature the Big Bear Cruzer, which is a boat that holds up to 25 passengers and tours the lake for 90 minutes. You’ll get great views of the lake and be able to relax while you cruise the waters. The boat has portions that are sun-exposed, while other parts of the boat are shaded. If you’ve got a big group, consider doing a private booking!
Pontoons, Fishing & Wave Runners
If you’re looking to have full control over how you navigate and experience the lake, consider booking one of the many water vessels offered at Big Bear Marina. Their pontoon boat rentals come with different options in terms of seating and style. You can book for just one hour, or up to eight hours.
For fishing enthusiasts, check into their fishing boat rentals. These can be rented in two-hour increments, and their boats fit up to four people. For fishing boat rentals, there is also a fuel charge. Big Bear Lake is filled with incredible fish, and renting a boat is a great way to spend an afternoon in the sun.
The Yamaha Wave Runners at Big Bear Marina are best suited for those who want to experience a thrilling ride across the lake. These can be rented by the hour, and rates start at $135 per hour. Otherwise, check out their stand-up paddleboard rentals if you want a more relaxed aquatic experience.
