If you're planning your next unforgettable family getaway, look no further than Lake Powell—one of the most breathtaking lakes in the U.S. With its red rock canyons, crystal blue water, and wide open space, it’s the ultimate playground for families who love the outdoors. But planning a day on the lake with kids can feel overwhelming. That’s where Lakeside Boat Club comes in.

Our club was built around one goal: making lake days easier, safer, and more enjoyable for families. Here’s your complete guide to family boating on Lake Powell in 2025—and why Lakeside Boat Club is the best way to experience it all.

1. Why Lake Powell Is Perfect for Families

Lake Powell is a family boater’s dream come true:

  • Calm, warm waters perfect for young swimmers

  • Countless coves for private picnics or nature watching

  • Unbeatable scenery for family photos

  • Easy water sports access for all skill levels

Whether your crew includes toddlers or teens, there’s something magical for everyone on this iconic lake.

2. Boat Club vs. Boat Ownership: What Every Family Should Know

Let’s be real—owning a boat with kids in tow is stressful:

  • Trailer storage and transport

  • Ongoing maintenance and repairs

  • High up-front costs

  • Limited usage due to busy family schedules

Lakeside Boat Club eliminates those headaches. With your membership, you get:

  • Unlimited access to top-of-the-line Malibu boats

  • No maintenance or storage worries

  • Flexible booking to match your family’s schedule

  • A ready-to-go boat every time

More lake days. Less hassle. That’s how we do family fun.

3. Safety Comes First (Always)

We know that your number one priority is keeping your family safe—and it’s ours too. Every Lakeside Boat Club boat is:

  • Maintained by certified technicians

  • Equipped with U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets (including kids sizes)

  • Outfitted with safety gear, emergency equipment, and GPS tracking

We also provide brief, friendly tutorials for new members and families who want a refresher. Whether it's your first time captaining a boat or your 50th, we make sure you feel confident.

4. What to Do on the Water With Kids

Boating with your kids doesn’t have to mean constant stress. Here are our favorite family-friendly activities on Lake Powell:

  • Tube rides: A gentle tow on a tube is always a crowd pleaser.

  • Floating and swimming: Pull into a calm cove and float the afternoon away.

  • On-deck lunches: Pack a cooler and eat onboard in the middle of the lake.

  • Sandbar exploring: Let the kids run around while you relax with a drink.

  • Sunset cruises: End the day on a peaceful note with music and a view.

All of our Malibu boats come with Bluetooth speakers, plenty of storage, and enough space for everyone to relax.

5. Pack Like a Pro: Family Boating Checklist

Here’s a quick list of things our members always bring for a successful day:

  • Sunscreen (reef-safe is best!)

  • Towels and extra clothes

  • Snacks and water

  • Waterproof phone pouch

  • Swimsuits and hats

  • Kids' goggles or floaties

  • Bluetooth playlist

Pro tip: We offer storage space onboard so your gear stays dry and organized.

6. Make It a Summer Tradition

One of the things our members love most? Consistency. With a Lakeside Boat Club membership, your family can make boating a recurring tradition.

  • Weekly lake days without last-minute chaos

  • Birthdays, reunions, and summer breaks on the water

  • A sense of freedom and togetherness unplugged from screens

In a world that moves too fast, your time on the lake becomes a sacred family reset.
