Hopping on a boat - whether your own or rented - is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience Lake Havasu City. For the ultimate expierence of relaxation, peace of mind, forgo the lines at the launch ramp and the responsibility of navigating the craft around unfamiliar obstacles.

​

The Lake Havasu Marine Association has developed a Designated Operator program, featuring Lake Havasu City experienced operators who will pilot your boat for you. They can also connect you with U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains aboard USCG certified boats to offer you a private charter experience. 

​

The LHMA's mission is to instill awareness among recreational boaters that assigning the responsibility of a sober Designated Operator will significantly reduce the number of under-the-influence related boating accidents and fatalities on the water. Hiring a Designated Operator is far cheaper than being cited for an "OUI" (operating under the influence). More information can be found regarding OUI laws, including agency jurisdiction, checkpoints and penalties, by clicking here.
