Celebrate An Unforgettable Summer Experience: Discover Sin City Boating Activities

By Lydia Greyson


The Desert Princess is a 300 passenger paddle boat with enclosed air conditioned docks and a sun deck. More than 9 million people visit the Hoover Dam each year and while on the paddle boat tour you will be able to see this magnificent structure up close. The narrated paddle boat tour offers transportation from your hotel or place of lodging in a motor coach, lunch on board the Desert Princess, a stop at a souvenir shop and it also includes a tour of the Botanical Gardens and a tour of Ethel M's Chocolate Factory upon your return to Las Vegas.

Boater safety courses are recommended for new boat owners. You can become certified in boating safety on the web or pick up a manual at the Boulder Highway Department. The boater safety certification is required for anyone who was born after 1983. The booklets are free. After filling out all information you must return your registration to the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Web based classes have trial quizzes and web tests.

The Marina Center of Las Vegas is family owned by the Gripentog family since 1957. It is the world's largest privately owned boating sales center in the world with over 1500 boats of every kind. They have 2 showrooms with used and new boats for sale or for rent. For boat owners who wish to trade in their boat for a new one, the Marina Center can help. They also schedule maintenance and repairs on boats of all kinds.

The Hoover Dam Kayak Adventure tickets are for sale for $139.00 per person. After meeting at the Las Vegas strip you will be driven 30 miles south of Las Vegas near the Arizona/Nevada state line. You will access Lake Mead at the Kingman Wash Access and spend 2 1/2 hours on the Lake. You will spend an hour at Hoover Dam and lunch and drinks are included in the tour package. You will stop at the visitor's center and have time to view the Dam and take some pictures.

Those who wish to rent a boat may choose a power boat for water skiing or a pontoon or motorboat for a day of fishing. Rentals also include runabouts, wave runners and kayaks. They also sell and rent canoes and tubes. For a great boating experience and a close up tour of the Hoover Dam, rent or consider purchasing one of a wide variety of boats from the Marina Center of Las Vegas.
