Free Ice Cream At The Gas Dock! Families Love Scooters Rental At Lake of the Ozarks

To enjoy an unforgettable day at Lake, three things are needed: a boat (or a jet ski or two!), fuel to make 'em go, and something sweet to keep everyone smiling. Luckily for Lake-goers, Scooters Rental has all three, plus excellent, friendly service.

Scooters Rental offers boat and jet ski rentals, a gas dock, a c-store, and an exciting, new place to grab a bite to eat this summer!

When Tom and Beth Randall moved from Iowa to Lake Ozark with their two daughters in 2022, they wanted their gas dock/rental business to add to the fun, family-friendly atmosphere at the Lake. Because of their vision, Scooters Rental has a growing reputation for terrific service and deep hospitality.

“We want Scooters to be a place where families build fun memories at the Lake,” Beth Randall shared. As a lakeside, family-run business, the Randalls love getting their children involved as much as possible.

As for naming Scooters, the Randalls let their daughter give her input. “She suggested naming it after her pet turtle, Scooter,” Randall said. “That’s also why we have a turtle on our logo.”

The Snack Shack & The Tackle Box

The Snack Shack c-store on the dock stocks everything from drinks and snacks to life jackets and souvenirs. This summer also brings an exciting addition to Scooters: a new food truck called The Tackle Box. Officially launched on July 3rd, The Tackle Box is a partnership between Scooters and Mike and Gina Jones.

Mike Jones, the former NFL linebacker best known for “The Tackle” that won the St. Louis Rams Super Bowl XXXIV (hence the food truck’s name), brings his signature style to the Lake with elevated casual food like smoked brisket, smoked ribs and a Sunday pig roast. A permanent restaurant is already in the works for next summer. 

Gas Dock

Located at the 4 Mile Marker on the main channel, Scooters gas dock is a popular and convenient stop for fuel. “Boaters don’t have to idle back down a cove,” Randall explained. Scooters offers 87-octane regular and 91-octane premium fuel, and they’re planning to add jet ski-specific pumps soon. “We serve a lot of jet skis,” Randall added.

Ice Cream

And then there’s the ice cream. “We are known for our free ice cream,” Randall remarked happily. “We love seeing people’s look of surprise when we tell them that everyone in the boat gets free ice cream when they come to fill up the boat. If it’s a whole tritoon full of 13 people, they all get ice cream,” she added.

Flavors include classics like vanilla and chocolate, plus a rotating Dole option like pineapple or mango. 

According to Randall, it’s not uncommon for grandparents to tell her their grandkids wake up asking if the boat needs gas, just for a sweet treat. 

Rentals

When it comes to boat and jet ski rentals, Scooters Rental takes safety seriously. “We put everyone through a major safety training before they take out the boats or jet skis,” Randall emphasized. “Especially for new boaters, the Lake can be a dangerous place and we want everyone to stay safe and respectful out there.”

Whether Lake locals or guests want a jet ski for an hour or a tritoon for a week, Scooters will make it happen. By easily booking online, customers can know what to expect and will receive in-person training on-site. “We want to work with people,” Randall said. “We’ll even go to their dock to make sure they have the right equipment to secure the rental.”

From jet skis to smoked brisket, Scooters Rental is more than a business—it’s a lakefront experience fueled by family, fun, and a lot of free ice cream. 

Be sure to stop by this summer for gas and ice cream, or make an unforgettable Lake day with friends by renting jet skis or a boat for the whole family.
