Bridge Marina offers hourly, half-day, and daily boat rentals on premium boats. Our Boat Rental service is perfect for the occasional boater who wants to experience Lake Hopatcong a few times each season. Boaters looking for some added excitement and more time out on the water boating should consider our Boating Club as a more appropriate and economical choice.
Our well appointed 18-21 foot Pontoon Boats are perfect for a day on the lake with your family: stable, roomy, very comfortable and well powered with 50-60hp outboards. Depending on passenger sizes, our boats comfortably seat up as many as nine passengers and are well appointed to provide a safe, comfortable ride on the lake. Great for cruising, sightseeing, fishing or just enjoying yourself!
Our central location gives you great access to all the best places on the lake, from restaurants to the most popular coves. Spend your time doing what you want to on the water, rather than driving back and forth to the marina!

Our award-winning facility - Bridge Marina is considered one of the premier marinas on Lake Hopatcong. We pride ourselves on customer satisfaction, environmental responsibility, community involvement, and delivering beyond expectations. In fact, Bridge Marina is honored to have been nationally recognized as “Marina of the Year” in 2010 by Marina Dock Age Magazine. This award recognizes our dedication to customer service, the community, and our environment. Bridge Marina is also proud to be New Jersey’s first and only freshwater Clean Marina.
Renter Requirements
Operator must be 25 years of age or older, have a valid car driver's license, valid credit card (Visa/MC/Amex) and a NJ Boater's Certificate (or purchase a Temporary Boater's Certificate for $5). Security deposit is required. Reservations require a $100 deposit. We suggest renters arrive approximately 15 minutes in advance of their confirmed reservations.
Boat License Requirements: In New Jersey, if you wish to operate a motorized vessel, including a personal watercraft, you must have a Boating Safety Certificate and ‘Boat’ endorsement on your New Jersey driver’s license. Bridge Marina is certified to provide you a temporary certificate ($5.00) during your rental at Bridge Marina.
If you wish to obtain your permanent Boater Safety Certificate and obtain ‘Boat’ endorsement on your NJ Driver’s License, there is a new and convenient method to obtain your Boater Certificate through an online course called the Boat Ed New Jersey online boating course at www.boat-ed.com/NewJersey. Upon completion of the certified online course, the online portion will direct you to local testing facilities where you must take your final test; thereafter you will be provided a Boater Safety Certificate. You will then take the Boater Safety Certificate to your local DMV and request your ‘Boat’ endorsement on your New Jersey Driver’s license after which you are fully licensed to drive a vessel or PWC on any of New Jersey’s waters (and most waters in other states where a boat license is required). It’s that easy.
