How Molly’s got started
Molly’s Pontoon Rentals began as a response to the growing popularity of Lake Wedowee, which, despite its appeal, lacked sufficient boat rental accommodations. We initially shared our lake house on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, connecting with wonderful guests and striving to provide exceptional experiences. Over time, many inquired about pontoon boat rentals, but due to the limited options on the lake, I recognized an opportunity.
In the fall of 2020, my neighbor decided to sell a pontoon boat. Despite needing full refurbishment, it had a solid frame and pontoons. After some consideration, I saw the potential to turn it into something special that could fill the rental gap on the lake. This marked the beginning of Molly’s Pontoon Rentals, LLC.
After five months of careful work concluding in the early spring of 2022, this 24’ pontoon was fully restored from the pontoons up. We added a third center tube making it a Tritoon, a killer sound system, Turbo Ski bar for tubing, and equipped it with a brand new Yamaha 115HP VMAX SHO motor for a reliable, high-quality experience. Due to high demand our first year, we added a second boat in 2023, a brand new 20ft Slyvan Pontoon, added a third center tube making it a Tritoon, Turbo Ski Bar for tubing, and this boat is powered by a 90HP VMAX Yamaha SHO motor. Then, in 2023, we had the opportunity to purchase Bass Monkey’s best boat when they exited the business. This is a 22FT Tritoon with a Yamaha 225HP motor is the fastest in our fleet. All boats are fully maintained by Wedowee Marine so you can be assured of a trouble free day on the lake.
As for Molly, she’s the heart of our business—a pup in the early days who has grown alongside the company. We no longer rent our lake house but plan to continue to expand to support the market.
We look forward to welcoming you this summer and hope to become your go-to choice for luxury pontoon rentals on Lake Wedowee. We aim to earn your business year after year!
