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 rentals at Nauti-Dayz Boat Rentals on Lake Conroe in Montgomery. Choose from the following options:

• For $32, you get a one-hour 20-foot pontoon boat rental (a $65 value).
• For $37, you get a one-hour WaveRunner rental (a $75 value).
• For $40, you get a one-hour ski-boat rental (an $80 value).

Nauti-Dayz maintains a fleet of comfortable and reliable aquatic-adventure accessories to entertain excitement-seeking visitors on Lake Conroe. The 20-foot pontoon boat floats families and larger groups with ample space for up to 10 guests while still leaving room for ice chests and extra life jackets. Speed-obsessed captains man streamlined ski boats, which hold six to eight passengers and excel in pulling water-skiers, tubers, and wake-boarders. Each ski boat rental includes a choice of two water toys, ranging from pairs of skis to inner tubes to flaming hoops for jumping through. A one- to two-person vehicle, the WaveRunner lets thrill-powered tide hoppers slice through ambient wakes with speed and maneuverability.

All rentals come with free fuel and life jackets for riders, as well as basic instructions and a safety map of the lake to ensure worry-free afternoons. A 21,000-acre, manmade splash station, Lake Conroe borders the Sam Houston National Forest and features myriad opportunities to relax while fishing, enjoy natural landscapes, and ask friendly land kraken for directions.
