Fort Worth Boat and Jet Ski Rentals
Fort Worth has three lakes inside a half-hour drive and a handful more within an hour, so a boat or jet ski day here starts with one question: which side of town are you coming from? North Fort Worth and Saginaw crews are closest to Eagle Mountain Lake, southwest Fort Worth and Benbrook sit right on Benbrook Lake, and the east side is minutes from Lake Arlington. We have MasterCraft surf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys ready at the lake you pick.
Book a Fort Worth Lake Day
MasterCraft surf and wake boats for 12 to 18 people, three-seat Sea-Doos, a Kawasaki stand-up jet ski and a full rack of water toys, all ready at the lake when you arrive. Book online in a few minutes, or call or text 888-205-7119 any day from 7am to 10pm.

Where We Meet Fort Worth Groups
We have your rental ready at a public park or marina on the lake you choose. These are the spots Fort Worth groups use most:
- Twin Points Park, Eagle Mountain Lake: the main public access on the lake, with a multi-lane ramp and a big summer swim beach. Best for north Fort Worth, Saginaw, Lake Worth and Azle.
- North Holiday Park, Benbrook Lake: the largest day-use area on Benbrook, with ramps into the main lake and a designated swim beach. Best for the TCU area, Tanglewood, Benbrook and Aledo.
- Richard Simpson Park, Lake Arlington: a multi-lane ramp with floating docks near the lake office. Best for east Fort Worth and west Arlington.
- Loyd Park, Joe Pool Lake: a west-side park off State Highway 360 with a ramp, beach and cabins. Best for south Fort Worth, Mansfield and Kennedale.
Rentals for Fort Worth Lake Days
Fort Worth groups usually pick the lake by neighborhood, and the rental travels with you: a MasterCraft surf boat rental for 12 to 18 people, three-seat Sea-Doo waverunners, water toys and a captain or flyboard instructor if you want one. On Lake Arlington, leave the lily pad and swim toys behind, since swimming is not allowed there; save them for Benbrook, Eagle Mountain or Joe Pool.
Tips for Fort Worth Groups
- Pick the lake by neighborhood. Thirty minutes saved on the drive is thirty more minutes on the water.
- Plan for Lake Arlington rules. Every boat and jet ski needs a lake permit there, and swimming is not allowed, so choose Benbrook or Eagle Mountain for a swim-and-float day.
- Go early on summer weekends. Parks fill up by late morning, and the water is smoothest before noon.
- Watch the distance rules on Eagle Mountain. The lake has a 200-foot safe-distance rule above headway speed, so give other boats and the shoreline plenty of room.
Fort Worth Lake Days by Season
Fort Worth’s lake season usually runs from late spring into early fall, and each part feels different. May and early June bring cooler water and quieter weekdays, a good time for first-time surfers. July and August are peak season: book weekends ahead, get on the water early and plan shade breaks, since afternoons on Eagle Mountain and Benbrook heat up fast. September is a local favorite, with warm water, thinner crowds and comfortable evenings for a sunset cruise.
