Westside Recreation began with a small Yamaha speedboat we originally purchased for our family of six. In the beginning, it was perfect for weekends on the water—but as the kids grew older (and bigger!), we found ourselves using it less and less. Eventually, we couldn’t fit everyone comfortably anymore, especially when they brought friends along. As we debated selling our first boat, we saw an opportunity instead: why not share it with others?
Â
That little speedboat brought joy to so many customers, but its size made it tough to accommodate larger families like ours. That’s when we realized it was time to invest in a pontoon if we really wanted to be a full service boat rental company in Phoenix. Initially, we hesitated—pontoons seemed boring and slow. However, once we discovered the selection of powerful, luxurious “toon boats” available, we were hooked. To our surprise, these weren’t your average pontoons—they were spacious, stylish, and packed with performance.
We knew the Phoenix boat rental market was missing these high-end, family-friendly pontoons, so we saw an opportunity to fill that gap. As a result, we decided to invest in a few. From that point on, Westside Recreation took off. Although we grew quickly, we never lost sight of what matters most—offering the very best and easiest boat rental experience at Lake Pleasant.<br><br>
Nearly 20 years later, Westside Recreation has grown into the largest boat rental company in Phoenix at Lake Pleasant. We’ve come a long way from that first little speedboat—and through every stage of growth, we’ve stayed true to our roots. Today, we proudly serve our community and take great pride in delivering outstanding customer service and unforgettable on-the-water experiences.

Can't recommend the guys at Westside Rec enough! It's full white collar service, they pick you up from your car and get you in the water. We aren't too "boat friendly" but have driven before but they took the time to go through all the things we didn't know and even reviewed basics of driving etc.
