Placid Boat Rentals

Great experience! We were in Albany for a wedding and took a last minute day trip to Lake Placid. We rented one of their Pontoon boat to cruise around the lake and enjoy some down time. The kids had a blast tubing behind it while enjoying the beautiful lake. Steve does a great job; extremely friendly, fair prices, and the boats are in like-​new condition. Highly recommended

This is exactly what I love about the Adirondacks. Steve and his staff are super friendly and willing to help you on your way to whatever adventure you choose. We came back two days in a row and we’ll definitely return on our next trip.

The owner, Steve, and his employees could not have treated us any better. We have rented from them time and time again this season… great boats and even better service!

We had the pleasure of meeting Steve and his crew on Labor Day weekend. Let me just say that he truly went above and beyond for us. We got to the lake later than expected and wanted to experience some time on the water. Steve was very accommodating to us. He rented us a Boston Whaler and instructed me on how to drive it. We had a great time on the lake. We made great memories and topped off a wonderful weekend. If you’re in the area this is the place to rent from. Thanks Steve and Tyler for your top notch service.
P. S. You made it possible for us to see the sunset on the lake. Thank you

Big shout out to Steve and the crew for going beyond and accommodating us. We we’re an hour late for our 3hr boat rental appointment. With the boat set-​up to the dock, we we’re only able to enjoy the boat for an hour. So we decided to rent kayaks and canoes to spend more time in the lake. When we got back, we saw Steve and spoke to him about the boat situation. He arranged for us to have a free hour to one of the speed boat that he owned!
I highly recommend Steve. They have a great location that is close to the lake. He will also hook you up with discounts! Once again thank you Steve, Gunner, Connor, Shelby and the whole crew.

Don’t waste your time here. The unfriendly staff basically told me that I cannot rent a boat because I have not operated a boat in the past. Seriously?

Nice guys here, they gave me a free fishing lure too. The lake here is beautiful! Fun way to plan for spontaneous adventure.

We had a wonderful experience renting both kayaks and paddle boards. Steve is a very friendly owner with lots of local knowledge. We were treated really well with courteous and expert service. The location is perfect with access to both Mirror Lake and Lake Placid — what more could you want? Steve and his staff were great with the kids and the entire experience was awesome. We will be back to Placid Boat Rentals many times this summer!

Steve and his team did a really great job helping us with the boat rental. We’ll definitely use them next time we’re up at Lake Placid!

Nous avons loué 2 doubles kayaks hier et tout s’est bien passé !
Le prix (même si je né connais pas ceux de la concurrence) né m’on pas paru excessif: 65 dollars pour 2 doubles kayak pendant 2h !
Le petit plus: vous pouvez choisir d’aller en faire sur lake mirror où bien sur lake placid !

Get ready for an amazing time ! Came here yesterday with friends to rent a power boat. It was a real pleasure. Stephen made everything as easy as can be. Can’t wait to come back again.

My friend and I rented a two person kayak for a few hours. The owner was very friendly and cared that we had a great time. The prices are the best in town. It was nice to have the option of boating on either lake. Can’t wait to go back again on our next visit to Lake Placid.

Stephen, the owner, is very friendly and knowledgeable. The prices here are great and launching any boat (onto either Mirror Lake or Lake Placid) is only a few steps from the shop. Very convenient. What else could you ask for?

Rented a boat for 2 hours last week to cruise around Lake Placid. Super friendly staff (the owner chatted with us for awhile and even gave recommendations for other things to do in the area) and fair prices. A great experience overall.

very friendly service, best prices in the area. right on lake placid, can also access mirror lake via walking. we rented kayaks one day, bikes the next. we used cash when renting the bikes and they gave us a discount. highly recommended.

The owner, Steve, is a great guy! He’s easy to work with and very friendly. He set us up with a kayak and gave us some very helpful tips on kayaking Lake Placid. We had a great time. Reasonable rates, and convenient location right on the lake!

A group of 7 of us were looking to rent a powerboat for the day to do some skiing and tubing when we came across these guys online. From start to finish the experience couldn’t have been more pleasant and enjoyable. They told us to arrive a few minutes early to take care of any additional equipment rentals and such without eating into our rental time, and were so friendly and pleasant through the entire process. Their rates were extremely reasonable and when we debated on renting a kneeboard or wakeboard, they told us that if we got out on the water and decided to switch it around, we could come back and do so and there would be no additional charge.
At the end of the rental, we had to fill the boat up with gas — which took us 15 minutes or so over the rental time, but it wasn’t a problem at all. I can’t recommend these guys enough — literally made our vacation experience a breeze, the equipment and boat were all in great shape, and we didn’t have to break the bank

We had a great day on the boat and PBR was extremely accommodating. It was during IRONMAN week, so things were crazy in town. It was the perfect option to get away.
We drove the boat and rented a tube and wake board as well. The staff was very knowledge about where to go and gave us tips on how to spend our day.
Just an overall great experience and REALLY friendly staff.

Steve was absolutely fantastic for us! We were staying at a family friends on the water and needed to get their by boat. Steve offered to take us and bring us back on our schedule! He even woke up early to pick us up as we were watching a friend do the ironman. He was so friendly and nice we really enjoyed the entire experience!!!
His tours sounded amazing and the boats are top notch.
If you are ever in lake placid Steve is the main man at placid boat rentals!
