About renting in Homewood

This page focuses on jet ski rentals; see the main Homewood page for other craft.

Homewood is a west shore town for boat and jet ski renters, home to Obexer's Boat Company, a public marina that sets its own rules for boats used for renting. The owner confirms availability and the exact pickup location before your trip. At Lake Tahoe, DooZed recommends that owners hand over the boat on its trailer away from the water, or at a marina that carries the boat on its TRPA concession permit. Each owner sets the pickup location, and DooZed does not check it. DooZed does not say either method is permitted by TRPA. TRPA requires every motorized boat and jet ski to pass a watercraft inspection before it launches. Each ramp and marina sets its own rules for boats used for renting, so confirm the launch point with the owner, and with the ramp or marina, before you book. DooZed does not collect payment when you send an inquiry.

Launch ramps and the TRPA inspection

TRPA requires every motorized boat and jet ski to pass a watercraft inspection before it launches anywhere at Lake Tahoe. Each ramp and marina sets its own rules and fees, and some do not admit a boat used for renting, or do not admit it at the public rate. Under Ordinance 307, Lake Forest in Tahoe City admits a boat used for renting only with a TRPA commercial permit, a Placer County business license and a season pass. Incline Village's Ski Beach is open only to IVGID Picture Pass and Recreation Punch Card holders and bars commercial use. Kings Beach's ramp is for non-motorized craft. Confirm the launch point and its rules with the owner, and with the ramp or marina, before you book.

Rules and boater card (3)

  • California Boater Card: The card sets 16 as the youngest solo age, with 12 to 15 year olds needing supervision from an adult aboard, whether they're driving a rented boat or a jet ski. California's boater card law does not apply to "A person operating a rental vessel," but no adopted state rule says whether that includes a boat rented out by a private owner. DooZed requires every renter to hold a recognized boater safety certificate regardless of any state card exemption. Source
  • Shoreline speed limit: Homewood's shoreline carries the same lakewide limit as everywhere else: 5 mph inside 600 feet of the beach, measured from the waterline out. Source
  • Aquatic invasive species inspection: A vessel needs this sticker before it launches anywhere on the lake; figure $65 for a boat measuring 17 feet or shorter, $95 once it runs past that length. Source
