Everything You Need to Know to Make the Most of the Long Weekend
Memorial Day weekend is the official start of summer on the water — and there’s no better place to kick it off than Scorpion Bay Marina at Lake Pleasant. Pleasant Water Sports opens up full daily hours this weekend, which means more time on the water and more ways to make the long weekend actually feel like one.
Here’s everything you need to plan ahead.
What’s Waiting for You on the Water
Here’s what you can rent at Pleasant Water Sports at Scorpion Bay Marina this Memorial Day:
For the ones who want to actually feel the lake. Speed, open water, no agenda. Perfect for a pair of friends ready to make the most of the afternoon. Built for up to two riders, hourly and multi-hour rentals are available to fit your day. Check current rates on our rentals page.
For groups who want the full experience. Warm water, good music, open lake. Your own private vessel, pre-heated and ready to go for up to six people — the move for a group looking to make Memorial Day memorable. No boating experience needed. Call to book: (602) 714-7478.
For anyone who wants the lake at their own pace. No rush, just the water. A great option for couples or anyone looking to slow things down and take in the scenery. Available by the hour or for a half day.
Your Memorial Day Game Plan
Once you know what you want, here’s how to make the day flow:
- Book before you go. Memorial Day at Scorpion Bay fills up fast. Availability goes quickly and walk-ins only get whatever slots are still open: so lock in your reservation ahead of time to guarantee the experience you’re after. Book online or call (602) 714-7478.
- Factor in the park entry. Lake Pleasant Regional Park charges a per vehicle entry fee at the gate: check the current rate before you head out. On holiday weekends, lines can run 30 minutes or more, so arrive earlier than you think you need to. One important note: the park can reach capacity and temporarily stop entry. If you have a reservation with us, you’re still guaranteed access. Another great reason to book ahead.
- Arrive 30 minutes early. Late arrivals don’t get extra time on the water if there’s another reservation right after. Getting there early means you get every minute you paid for.
- Stack your day the right way. Start the morning on the Yachtuzzi: the lake is calm, the desert is golden, and warm water on an open lake is a hard thing to beat. Move to jet skis mid-day when you’re ready to pick up the pace. Close out the afternoon on paddle boards and let the lake wind you down before heading out. That’s a Memorial Day worth talking about.
- Have your ID and card ready. Check our rentals page for current age and licensing requirements. Passengers of any age are welcome with a signed waiver.
