About
We will meet you at the dock of either Lake Jocassee or Lake Keowee and deliver to you the boat and everything nautical needed for you and your guests to have a fun-filled day on the lake. You bring the people, some goodies to eat and drinks and off you go.
On those busy days in the summer, when it is impossible to get into Devils Fork State Park, we will meet you at our parking area and shuttle you and your guests into the park. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy the beauty of either lake with your friends and family.
Happy customers mean we are doing our job right!

We took a private tour of Lake Jocassee waterfalls with lunch and were so happy at the end of the day. It was perfect. Our tour guide and owner of the company was so much fun. She went above and beyond our expectations. Not only is she very knowledgeable about the lake, wildlife and history of the area, she is a great story teller. Thanks Stephanie.

My family and I have rented pontoon boats from Stephanie and Michelle for the past 3 years at JOCASSEE KEOWEE RENTALS LLC. After today WE WILL NOT do business with them ever again!!! They rented us a boat with expired registration and out of state plates. SHADY SHADY SHADY!!! The boat also did not have all the safety features (no horn). This is how it all happened: They were running behind schedule for our 9 am rental…Although they ask for a 40min before arrival time. We were all excited for our vacation and ready to get in the water, we thought it was no biggie and patiently waited on them to get everything ready but in the end, getting off the dock was rushed. They gave us whatever boat, smaller than what we typically get for our family of 9. The boat had a smaller back to it where we normally lay down and tan. The next thing we know, we get stopped by DNR and get fined for having someone laying in the back!!! Also, we lost about 30 minutes of our time! We head back and the result is as follows: Stephanie BLAMED US for everything. She accused us for not reading the “safety videos” they never sent to us. But she was adamant they were sent and stated they were also on their website. Again, I’m a 3 prior year customer, I booked this boat for today over a phone call/text/and emails. I didn’t even know they had a website. THEY DID NOT COVER THE FINE AND TIME LOST AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. Unbelievable. What a business owner- blaming and making their customers pay fines for things (in Stephanie’s words) “you should be paying attention to as Captain” when all we wanted was to enjoy family time on the lake. I repeat DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE TOTALLY FRAUD, NEGLIGENT, AND LACK OWNERSHIP OF THEIR OWN MISDOINGS, IM TRUELY DISGUSTED WITH THE WAY THEY HANDLED THE SITUATION. THE PUBLIC NEAR BY OVERSEEING THE ARGUMENT WISHED ME GOOD LUCK AND CHEERED ME ON BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH. DO NOT LEASE FROM THEM. IF YOU TAKE A CHANCE MAKE SURE TO INSPECT EVERYTHING.

Our company has been in business for 23 years and It is our mission and joy to do what we can to make everyone's experience a positive one We unfortunately cannot always do so. There are many factors that were not addressed in your complaint that contributed to the unfortunate events of the day. And while bad circumstances cannot be bought off; you were reimbursed $100 towards the fine that was incurred due to improper operation of the vessel. While rare situations like this one do occur.. Our length in business and Google ratings speak for themselves.

Boat rental was easy to book, affordable, pet friendly, and boat was in good condition.
However, I would not recommend doing a reservation with this company, instead just watch the weather and book on a pretty day. I watched the weather for days before our trip, and decided to proceed day of. Was told by Stephanie that since it was raining, if we decided to come back early, she would refund us some money. We payed almost $500 and only spent 4 hours (half our time of 8 hours) on the water. We were only able to see 2 waterfalls. After contacting her MULTIPLE times to try and get some money back, she finally never responded and we basically got the run around the entire time. I will never book with them again, you must keep your word as a business owner, and also just be fair with people!

Very helpful and worked with our needs. There were 6 in our group, suggested the size pontoon that would suit our needs based on what we stated we wanted to do. Honest, didn't try to overcharge us with something we didn't need. We had 3 dogs (pets allowed) for an extra fee. Choice of how many hours we wanted to hire. Pontoon in the water ready for us, and staff there to greet us on the day. Quick education on the running of the pontoon, ( not complicated). Cooler provided which we didn't know beforehand. Minor issue. Had no issues the whole day and had great time. Staff at the dock when we came back in. Only pay for fas used. Great day, highly recommended company.

From the moment we called to inquire about a last-minute 1/2 day pontoon rental (July 5th) to the time we stepped off of the boat (July 7th), we received superior customer service from Jocassee Keowee Rentals! Stephanie has excellent interpersonl skills and she went above and beyond to accommodate us; even offered to help us with loading our stuff (cooler, towels, etc.) onto the boat. My husband and I fell in love with the tranquility of lake Jocassee and ended up extending our rental for an entire "peaceful" day to picnic (tomato sandwiches), explore the coves, and breathtaking waterfalls. The company is in the process of updating its website to accommodate online reservations. In the meantime, if you are a first time customer, like myself, the only thing I can recommend is ask whoever you are speaking with for a confirmation text or email with any instructions you are not clear on (address, parking info, time, etc.). Our cell phone reception was horrible in Oconee County and it wasn't until I completely lost a signal did I realize I had not asked enough questions during my initial call. All was not lost though, I finally picked up one bar on my cell phone signal right at the entrance to Devils Fork State Park which was enough to text Stephanie and she communicated everything I needed to know.

Great friendly service from Stephanie at Jocassee Keowee Rentals!!! Rented a 24’ pontoon in December 2020. Called and had boat reservation in 5 minutes for later the same day. Stephanie had the boat at the dock ready for us to hop on and provided safety gear and a well marked map of the beautiful waterfalls on Jocassee to explore. Nice boat in good shape that zipped around the lake just fine with 115 HP outboard.
Then Stephanie went the extra mile after noticing and chatting about our car sick puppy to bring us anti-nausea pills for our car trip home. Stephanie is a rock star!! Great experience and highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Keowee-Toxaway state park at one of the primitive campsites but didn't realize how hectic the hike would be getting our things to the campsite so we were recommended contacting Jocassee Keowee Rentals to rent a canoe, which was a life saver! Stephanie delivered the canoe to us and let us keep it throughout our entire trip for a decent price and even told us about a few good spots to canoe to in the area! Very thankful!

Do not rent from her. We made a reservation, waited 1-1/2 hours at the dock and she was a No Show. Called her multiple times, text multiple times. No reply, no response. Then, 6 weeks after she missed our appointment, she charged my credit card.

You might be able to rent a boat elsewhere...but you will not have Stephanie, Bonnie or Dave as your Captain, which means you will not see all the hidden gems on this lake! They know where the waterfalls are, and can navigate you up-close-and-personal where you can swim under the waterfalls, play on a sandbar, and understand all the inner-workings of this Duke Power lake, which was the setting for the movie “Deliverance” ... and there’s a lot of info to be shared about that too! Do not look elsewhere! And hire a great and fun loving pontoon captain to really complete this “bucket list” item! ❤️
