Fleet of Over 75 Boats and 30 Employees in the Summer
Sunset Watersports has been renting boats since 1995. Throughout that time, we have learned a lot and grown to be the largest rental company north of Grand Rapids. With a fleet of over 75 boats and 30 employees in the summer, we are prepared to handle your boating needs. We pride ourselves with on time scheduling and good reliable equipment including everything from kayaks, all the way up to our large deck boats, ski boats and pontoon boats. We will go any reasonable lengths to make your boating time in Traverse City, Michigan an experience to remember.
We encourage advanced and pre-season reservations through our online reservation service, available 24 hours a day. This is particularly important in the pre-season as we are typically out in the boat yard preparing for the upcoming summer.
If you prefer to speak with someone over the phone (231.932.1800), we provide 8am to 8pm office hours between Memorial and Labor Days.
