Branson is great for far too many reasons to list, but one thing people love to come here for is boating on Table Rock Lake. The clear water and beautiful scenery makes this lake rise above others when it comes to swimming, skiing, fishing, or just relaxing on a boat. But whether you’re renting, or you have your own boat and need somewhere to load it in the water, you’ll have to visit one of the city’s many marinas. There are plenty to choose from, but our list of some of the most popular marinas in Branson should point you in the right direction!
Popular Marinas in Branson
What’s Up Dock
Located in Kimberling City (15 miles west of Branson), the What’s Up Dock marina has so much to offer. Here, you can rent from a wide variety of ski boats, fishing boats, and waverunners. Before you launch, pick up drinks, snacks, and just about anything you forgot from home at their store, and their staff will fuel your boat for you while you shop.

Indian Point Marina is great for any boating need.

Here, you can rent pontoons, fishing boats, or recreational boats perfect for sightseeing on the lake. The marina also offers pontoon guides, as well as fishing guides where you are provided with bait and other equipment. They even clean and bag your fish for you before you leave!

Here, you can rent boats and waverunners, as well as accessories like skis and tubes. Other amenities include a full-service dive shop, BBQ restaurant, shaved ice stand, and parasailing. State Park Marina is another location where you can purchase a boat, if that’s something you’ve been looking into.
