To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, Bridge Marina maintains clear rental requirements. Please review before booking:
Many of our rental guests eventually join our Boating Club after realizing how much they enjoy getting out on the water – and how well Bridge Marina supports their experience.
Our boat club members enjoy access to a large, diverse fleet of boats across multiple locations, along with hands-on training, watersports gear, and attentive care from our team all season long… without owning a boat.
Please plan to arrive 20-25 minutes before your scheduled rental time to check in, review your paperwork, and complete a safety and navigation briefing with our team. Bring the following with you:
A valid driver’s license
Your NJ Boating Safety Certificate (or accepted out-of-state equivalent)
A credit card for the required security deposit

Lake Hopatcong guests – don’t miss our “Greetings from Lake Hopatcong” mural at the base of our docks – a perfect spot to grab a group or family pic!
Our rental boats can safely accommodate up to 10 people total, including adults, children, and infants. Maximum passengers is 10 people (all ages count). This limit is set by safety regulations and vessel capacity and cannot be exceeded under any circumstances.
In addition to the passenger limit, all boats have weight and space limitations. Please use sensible restraint with coolers, bags, and gear; overloading is unsafe for your group and others on the water.
To ensure a safe and comfortable experience, Bridge Marina may limit the number of passengers or the amount of gear on board if conditions require it. All renters must comply with federal and state boating laws, including those specific to tidal waters or Lake Hopatcong.
Your safety is our top priority, and following these limits helps ensure a smooth, stable, and enjoyable day on the water.
Yes. All Bridge Marina rental boats are equipped with Personal Flotation Devices/life jackets (PFDs) for adults. Guests are welcome to bring their own properly fitted, U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFDs if they prefer.
We have a rather wide array of varying sized life jackets for children. However, if you have younger children who have their own comfortable life jacket, we suggest to bring your own to avoid tears or complaints on docks and ensure the most comfortable option.
We have a very limited selection of infant life jackets due to various expected reasons and variables for this age group (fit, comfort, and individual needs). We highly suggest you consider bringing your own infant life jacket; we want to make sure your little one has the safest and most comfortable option possible.
New Jersey State and Federal laws require that all children 12 years of age and younger wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times while a vessel is underway. Drivers, parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring that children are wearing the proper life jacket as required by law.
We have a very limited selection of pet life jackets due to various expected reasons. We highly suggest you consider bringing your own pet life jacket.
Please note it is the responsibility of the Rental Driver and Guest to individually evaluate fit and applicability of Life Jackets for the entire crew.
Regardless of age, we strongly recommend that all passengers wear a life jacket at all times while boating.
Bridge Marina offers a fleet of premium, fully-loaded, current triple pontoon boats for rent on Lake Hopatcong and at the Jersey Shore in Highlands.

Our rental boats comfortably seat a maximum of ten passengers (or 1,300 lbs of passengers and gear) and are well appointed to provide a safe, comfortable and enjoyable boating experience.
We’ve specifically chosen Starcraft Marine triple pontoons because they give our guests:

Enough power for confident handling
A layout that comfortably accommodates groups of up to ten passengers
Premium seating and amenities (including shady bimini tops, Bluetooth stereos and more)
A predictable, dependable boat rental experience every time
We don’t rent speedboats, jet skis, or bowriders. In our experience, triple pontoon boats provide a great experience for families and groups on Lake Hopatcong or Sandy Hook Bay.
