The Islander

Reconnect with family while nestling into this unforgettable escape tucked in the mountains around Lake Ouachita.

Beginning in 1989, our location was the first water toy rental operation on Lake Ouachita. As the business grew, houseboat rentals were added in 1996. Today we offer 7 of the most luxurious houseboats available on Lake Ouachita as well as personal water craft.
