Boat rentals in Bullhead City, AZ

About renting in Bullhead City

This page focuses on boat rentals; see the main Bullhead City page for other craft.

DooZed boat, pontoon and jet ski rentals here are based on Lake Mohave, not the Colorado River. Below Davis Dam, the river's flow generally runs anywhere from 2,000 to 20,000 cubic feet per second depending on the day and the time of year, which makes picking one fixed riverside handoff time unreliable to plan around. Every ramp, marina and shoreline area on Lake Mohave, including Katherine Landing and Cottonwood Cove, sits inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area, run by the National Park Service, and no DooZed rental hands off anywhere inside the park. The owner confirms availability and the exact pickup location before your trip. The handoff itself happens outside the park, at a place the owner arranges, and the owner is solely responsible for permits and local rules there, since DooZed is a marketplace connector, not an operator. From there, you tow the boat into the park yourself, launch and retrieve it, and pay the park's own vehicle and vessel entrance fees. DooZed does not collect payment when you send an inquiry.

Residents park free at Community Park and Rotary Park; non-residents pay $25 per vehicle in the charged season. Davis Camp, run by Mohave County inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area, charges a $10 per day watercraft launching fee on top of a separate $12 per day day-use fee. On summer weekends from May through September, Davis Camp's day-use rate rises from $12 to $35 per vehicle per entry, with no re-entry, and to $50 per vehicle on holiday weekends. Davis Camp's per-vehicle rates assume up to 4 people. City rules require boats and personal watercraft to stay at least 50 feet from the Colorado River to refuel. Community Park, Rotary Park, and Davis Camp are visitor fee information only, not a DooZed meeting point.

Public launch ramps and park fees (visitor info only)

Katherine Landing and Cottonwood Cove are National Park Service marinas on Lake Mohave with their own boat rental concessions; a DooZed rental never hands off at either site, at any other ramp or marina on the lake, or anywhere else inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The owner hands off the trailered boat outside the park, at a place the owner arranges. You tow it in, launch and retrieve it yourself, and pay the park's own $25 vehicle entrance pass and $16 vessel launch pass, each good for 1 to 7 days, card only.
