Lake Pleasant is a popular boating destination due to its large size and relatively deep waters, which offer boaters plenty of space to spread out and less risk of hitting bottom. This lake is roughly over 10,000 acres and 70 feet deep, making it a great location for boating activities. Here are some guidelines on Lake Pleasant boat rules and regulations.

Registration

In the State of Arizona, you are required to have an up-to-date boat Registration to operate a vessel. The link above should help provide you with information to get started.

Insurance

For passenger safety, legal compliance, and safeguarding your business in the boat rental service, securing appropriate insurance is essential. The necessary coverage can vary in different areas and harbors, based on the vessel's passenger capacity and the type of activity. It's the operator's responsibility to determine the required insurance, ensuring it meets the State's minimum standards.

Arizona Requirements
