Laughlin boat rentals

About renting in Laughlin

DooZed boat, pontoon and jet ski rentals here are based on Lake Mohave, not the Colorado River. River flow below Davis Dam generally swings from 2,000 up to 20,000 cubic feet per second, changing by the day and by the season, so there is no single reliable riverbank handoff time to plan a trip 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.

Big Bend of the Colorado charges Nevada residents a lower launch fee than non-residents, plus a separate day-use entrance fee for the vehicle. Mohave County operates Davis Camp, where boaters pay a $10 per vehicle launch charge on top of a day-use or camping pass. A regular day-use pass runs $12 per vehicle, but the county charges $50 per vehicle on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day weekends, and $35 per vehicle on other weekends from May through September; neither weekend pass allows re-entry. Every Davis Camp per-vehicle price is set for up to 4 occupants. Katherine Landing, inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area, sells a $16 vessel launch pass valid up to 7 days. NDOW's Colorado River regulations set a 5 nautical mph no-wake limit near Harrah's and the other river harbors. Davis Camp sits inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area too; the National Park Service sells its vehicle and vessel passes at its entrance stations, and the annual vessel pass is also sold online; all of this is visitor fee information, 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.
