Marine Five Star Certified Dealer

With all the different marinas around Lake Wallenpaupack, it might be overwhelming deciding which one is right for you. Maybe it's important to you to have a picnic area that features real bathrooms with showers and changing rooms. Perhaps you'd feel better knowing there is a security guard at your marina overnight to prevent against damage or theft. It might be beneficial for you to dock with a marina that has a gas dock and a full water sports store on premises. Well, Lighthouse Harbor Marina offers you all that, and more!

Not only do we have dock slips for the summer season available for our customers, we also provide them with winterization of their boats, inside or outside winter storage, wet and dry docks for the summer, a ship's store, a full service department, and a large showroom.

Lighthouse Harbor Marina isn't just any marina. We are a five star certified dealer through the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA). Being NMMA certified means that when you visit us you can feel certain you are working with a business that is dedicated to your satisfaction. While visiting us, you should expect the assistance of friendly, knowledgeable staff, quality products and reliable services.

Boat Rentals & Much More At PoconoActionSports.com

Pocono Action Sports (PAS) has a lot more to offer than you might think! We offer boat rentals, jet ski rentals, parasailing, paddleboard rentals, and more!

boat With so many kinds of boats on the lake these days, you may not know what kind is right for you. That's why PAS offers a variety of boat rentals. Our ski boats can accommodate up to six people and have an estimated horse-power of 130-170, which makes them great for tubing, water skiing, and wakeboarding. Our standard pontoon boats can accommodate up to 10 people, with an estimated 50-60hp, and are great for a couple families who want to enjoy the lake together. With an estimated 70hp, our Bennington Pontoons seat up to eight people and are ideal for those who want to cruise the lake in luxury. We also offer fishing boats seating up to four, with 40-50hp, for those trying to catch a trophy.

jetski-splash-tiny-002Not only do we rent boats! We also rent Yamaha VX Deluxe Wave Runners in 1/2 hour and hour increments. They can seat a couple people for an exhilarating ride.

paddleboard-smallStand up paddleboarding (SUP) is becoming one of the world's most popular sports and PAS offers hourly rentals so you can see what all the fuss is about. SUP is a cross between surfing and canoeing where you stand on a board similar to a surf board and use a long handled paddle to propel yourself around. It provides a full body, low impact workout while easily experiencing the lake.

parasailing-trans-tiny-004Want something a little more adventurous? We have just the thing! Parasailing above Lake Wallenpaupack is only available at PAS. After getting outfitted with a life vest and harness, you're seated on the flight deck of the boat. Once seated, the mate clips your harness to the parachute. Then you go up real nice and smooth, just like sitting on a swing set that slowly elevates you for the experience of a lifetime.  All take offs and landings are done straight from the boat so you can stay dry if you prefer. Our experienced crew gets you in the air and back on the boat as smoothly as possible so you don't have to worry about a thing.

With all Pocono Action Sports has to offer, you're sure to find an experience you won't forget. Visit us online at PoconoActionSports.com or call (570) 857-0779 for more information.
