Black River Boat Rentals (525 Kentucky Ave, Slip 16, South Haven)
Enhance your family vacation with a boat rental. Cruise up the Black River or head out to Lake Michigan. The rental boats are clean, in the water and ready to go at the marina adjacent to the Harbor Club Resort in which most of our cottages are located. Pontoon and speedboats are available to our guests at competitive prices and the proximity to your rental property makes the rental process convenient and quick. All Harbor Club homes can walk to the docks located next to community outdoor pool.
GOJOE rentals ( 205 Broadway, South Haven)
Can't have a South Haven Vacation without the golf cart experience. Golf carts and LSVs are road legal and can be driven on city roads. Take a cart all over town, to the beach or just use it to get around the neighborhood. GOJOE Rentals is the only company in town with LSV (premium carts). Staff highly recommends the add on of a cart rental and the company GOJOE for cart rentals. We also recommend to all Harbor Club guest to ask about LSV's vs Golf carts. The LSV is legal on Baseline road (the road into Harbor Club), and can be legally driven at night.
