Contrary to popular belief, boats are actually much safer than cars, which inexplicably sink every time you drive them on water. Take a proper water road ride with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a two-hour pontoon or ski-boat rental from Boat Boys in Buckeye Lake (up to a $120 value). Today’s deal is not valid during Fourth of July or Labor Day weekends.

Boat Boys’ experienced crew equips seafarers with pontoon and ski boats for sojourns on the serene waters of Buckeye Lake. Vessels launch from the Sayre Brothers Marine, a historic site along the lake that has been servicing the aquatic-adventuring community for more than a century. Take a few laps about lake in a relaxing pontoon boat or zip through the water in a high-horsepower ski boat toting skiers, tubers, or an aerial banner declaring your love for your ex-parole officer. Although smoking and alcohol are not allowed on the vessel, guests may bring pets and, depending on the boat, up to 12 passengers. Wake-makers born after January 1, 1982, are required to take a pre-floating boating education course or present a valid boating license. Rentals are by reservation only.
