Welcome to Wild Ones Boat Rentals, the premier family-owned outfitter for those who crave an authentic connection with the Maine Highlands. Nestled in the heart of Greenville, Wild Ones is more than just a rental service—it’s your launchpad for legendary memories on the state’s most iconic waters.

Whether you are seeking the expansive, island-dotted horizons of Moosehead Lake (Maine’s largest lake) or the tranquil, loon-filled serenity of Wilson Pond, we provide the high-quality fleet and local expertise to make your voyage exceptional. From sunrise paddles to sunset cruises, Wild Ones ensures your time on the water is safe, accessible, and filled with the spirit of the North Woods.

🛶 A Fleet for Every Explorer

At Wild Ones, we pride ourselves on a diverse, “mom & pop” experience with premium equipment tailored to your adventure.

Luxury & Family Pontoons

Perfect for group outings, sunbathing, or island hopping. Our fleet features high-quality Bennington Pontoons (20ft–22ft) that can accommodate up to 12 passengers.

• Featured Craft: Bennington 22ft 22SL-SPS—Smooth, comfortable, and designed for timeless luxury.

High-Performance Fishing Boats

Engineered to get you into the “hot spots” larger vessels can’t reach. Our fishing boats are clean, prepped, and ready for a successful day of angling.

• The Lineup: 15′ Triumph Center Console (50HP Honda), 16′ Lund Console (25HP Yamaha), and classic 14′ Starcraft aluminum models.

Canoes, Kayaks & SUPs

Get up close with nature on our non-motorized watercraft. Glide silently past grazing moose or follow the haunting call of the loons.

• Family Friendly: We offer adult, tandem, and specialized kids’ kayaks to ensure everyone can join the fun.

🌟 Why Boaters Choose Wild Ones in 2025

• Unrivaled Location: We service both Moosehead Lake and Wilson Pond. While Moosehead offers 75,000 acres of open water and views of Mt. Kineo, Wilson Pond is a hidden gem known for its peaceful atmosphere and world-class fishing for landlocked salmon and trout.

• Hassle-Free Delivery: We offer delivery and fuel services directly to your dock, so you never have to step away from the fun.

• Safety & Expertise: Every rental includes USCG-approved PFDs, safety instructions, and a full briefing until you feel confident as a captain.

• Pet Friendly: Dogs are welcome! (A small cleaning fee may apply; please bring a blanket for the seats).

🧭 2025 Boating Essentials: Know Before You Go

• New Boating Laws: Be aware of the 2025 Maine Boating Updates, including new noise limits (90 decibels max) and wake boat restrictions (stay 300ft from shore in 15ft+ water) to protect our loons and shorelines.

• Mandatory Invasive Species Check: All boaters are required to drain all water and check for plant fragments when moving between water bodies to protect our pristine Maine lakes.

• Ethanol-Free Fuel: All rentals are delivered full of Ethanol-Free Gas. If you refuel during a multi-day rental, ensure you use Ethanol-Free fuel to maintain engine performance.
