The Rip Tide Difference
At Rip Tide Rentals, we believe your time on the water should feel effortless.
Unlike traditional hourly rentals that limit your experience to a rushed window at a crowded dock, we offer a more exclusive approach — a 12-hour private rental day designed around your schedule.
Much like premium equipment rentals through United Rentals, your personal watercraft is reserved exclusively for you for the day, while you simply select your prepaid ride time, each base rental comes with 1 hour of prepaid ride time. Other options include ½ day or Full Day rental packages for unlimited ride time (you pay for the gas)!
This means you enjoy:
Greater flexibility throughout your day
Private access without crowded rental lines
A more relaxed, personalized experience
Time on the lake that feels entirely your own
Because memories should never feel rushed.
Delivery Service
To make your experience even more seamless, Rip Tide Rentals offers delivery and same-day retrieval service at select East Tennessee launch points (delivery fees apply).
Available delivery locations include:
- Lenoir City Park Boat Ramp

We deliver your WaveRunner ready for the water — and return later to retrieve it — allowing you to simply arrive, ride, and enjoy.

More Than a Rental

It is a more private, more refined way to experience the lake — combining performance, convenience, and freedom into one unforgettable day on the water.
