One of Central Florida’s best-kept secrets
Lake Pickett is known for crystal clear water and a peaceful atmosphere. We meet you at your neighborhood’s HOA private boat ramp with the boat launched, fueled and ready to go.
Because Lake Pickett is a private-access lake with no public boat ramp, our Lake Pickett boat rental is a valet-style service built for residents and guests with HOA access. It is the perfect setting for a day of relaxation, watersports or quality time with the family.
Located on the edge of East Orange County, the lake is prized for its water clarity and lack of heavy boat traffic, so boating on Lake Pickett feels a world away from the crowds of the public chains.
Captain Mike’s tip for Lake Pickett
Check your access before you call to book. Lake Pickett has no public boat ramp, so you will need valid HOA access to a private ramp on the lake. Tell us which neighborhood ramp to use and we will take care of the rest.
Want the cooler stocked? Send us your drink and snack order ahead of time.

Watersports
Lake Pickett is a great setting for watersports. Choose the 20ft Hurricane deck boat if that is the plan for your day.

More clear water around Orlando
No HOA access to Lake Pickett? You can still have a clear-water day. Our Lake Conway boat rental in Belle Isle is spring-fed and clear, with a popular sandbar.
On the west side of town, our Butler Chain of Lakes boat rental in Windermere offers spring-fed water and Bird Island. Both deliver to private docks only, so you will need dock access there too.
Which boat suits Lake Pickett?
Both boats work well here. If watersports are on the plan, go with the 20ft Hurricane deck boat. If your day is more about swimming, family time or a quiet cruise along the shoreline, the 21ft Lowe pontoon is the best way to enjoy the water.

No HOA access? Pick a lake with a public meeting point
We would rather tell you that now than after you have booked. Without valid HOA access to a private ramp, we cannot hand the boat over on Lake Pickett. Our Lake Toho boat rentals meet you at the Kissimmee Marina, our Winter Park boat rental meets you at the Fort Maitland Park ramp, and our St. Johns River boat rental meets you at Lake Monroe Park in DeBary.
Who drives, and when we start
Captain Mike, USCG licensed
You drive, so you get the boat’s full capacity: up to 11 on the pontoon and up to 12 on the deck boat, depending on weight.
Captain Mike launches the boat at your HOA ramp and walks you through its features and safety equipment before you leave: throttle and trim, how to get around the lake, and how to reach him if anything comes up. Never driven a pontoon before? That is most of our customers, and the walkthrough is built for them.

Lake Pickett questions we get asked
Is there a public boat ramp on Lake Pickett?
No. Lake Pickett is a private-access lake with no public boat ramp, so we operate on a private delivery only basis and meet you at your neighborhood’s HOA private ramp.
What do I need to book?
Valid HOA access to a private ramp on Lake Pickett. Let us know which neighborhood ramp to use when you book.
Can you stock the cooler for us?
Yes. Order your drinks and snacks ahead of time and we will have a cooler iced down and waiting on the boat. You only pay for the cost of the items, with no delivery or service fee.
Can we swim and do watersports?
Yes. Lake Pickett’s pristine water is ideal for swimming, and the light boat traffic makes it a relaxed lake for watersports. Choose the 20ft Hurricane deck boat if watersports are part of your day.
Are life jackets on the boat?
Yes, a Coast Guard approved jacket for every seat, sized for adults and kids. Florida law says children under six wear theirs the whole time the boat is moving, so tell us how many little ones are coming when you book and we will have the right sizes aboard.
Is there a bathroom on the boat?
No, neither boat has a head. Use the restroom before you head out, and plan a quick run back to the ramp mid-day if you are out for a long day with kids.
Can we bring our dog?
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
What happens if it storms?
Central Florida gets short, hard afternoon storms in summer, and lightning means everyone comes off the water. We try to look at the weather the night before and make the call then. If you lose an hour or so, we can work something out.
