Southside Water Sports is a locally owned rental outfitter on sparkling Cedar Creek Lake, midway between Dallas and Tyler. From roomy pontoons perfect for family gatherings to nimble jet skis, kayaks, and paddle boards for thrill ...
Buddy and Renee have built something special at Cedar Creek Lake, and it shows in every interaction. Customers consistently praise how responsive and accommodating these owners are, handling last-minute bookings and plan changes with genuine friendliness. The personal touch extends throughout the rental process, with staff taking time to explain equipment thoroughly, help with safety gear fitting, and assist with both launch and return. Several reviewers mention this is their second rental, which speaks volumes about the experience. The fleet itself is a major draw. Boats and jet skis are described as brand new or like-new condition, immaculately clean, and well-maintained. The tritoons come equipped with Bluetooth speakers, proper safety equipment, and enough power for tubing and water sports. Customers appreciate thoughtful details like the fat sack bumpers that make docking easier. The entire process runs smoothly from booking through return, with owners often meeting renters personally at the dock. For families, large groups, or bachelorette parties looking for reliable watercraft and genuinely helpful service on Cedar Creek Lake, this is clearly a standout choice.
We had the best experience with Southside! We were in town for spring break and decided to rent a boat last minute - luckily they were able to accommodate us and we had the boat the next day! The water levels were low and there was a bass fishing tournament happening but Southside made it a breeze for us. We rented a fishing pontoon and it was in perfect condition - our kids loved being able to fish off the back of the boat and our pup loved taking naps in the sun. We will definitely use them again!
