Two Northern Michigan Locations
Aussie Watersports is located west of Traverse City, Michigan on land with boats parked on trailers. For best rates arrange an “Office Carryout” – come and pickup your equipment and take it with you. This not only saves you money, but also allows you to take it to several different lakes, remove it from water for cheaper refueling and more.
Each of our boats displays a yellow Coast Guard sticker detailing how many people, and/or the maximum weight allowance on any given boat. If your group is on the lighter side from recently running the Bayshore marathon, that doesn’t mean you can put more people on the boat than the Coast Guard puts on the yellow sticker. Likewise, if your group just got done with a Nathen’s hotdog eating contest and put on few hundred extra pounds, don’t expect to put eight 250 pound people on a boat rated for 1500 pounds. We take everyone’s safety very seriously, and so should you.
Additional factors like wind and severe weather can cause your rental to be delayed or canceled
Our Locations
With a fleet of over 75 boats and 30 employees in the summer, we are prepared to handle all of your Northern Michigan boat and watersport equipment rental needs.
