WHAT TO BRING

Our Houseboats come with many extras, but there are some things you need to bring with you.

You may print this checklist from here:

CHECKLIST - WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING WITH YOU

Driver's License - All driver's need to present a valid driver's license at check-in.
Boater Safety Card - Driver's born on December 31, 1986 or after, must have a "Boater's Safety Card". You can obtain a "Boater's Safety Card" at or we can issue a temporary Boater's Safety Card for the length of your boat rental.
Fishing License – Available from WV DNR at www.wvfish.com. Sutton Lake Marina does not sell fishing licenses. There is a Wal-Mart at Exit 67 off I-79 that sells fishing licenses (Phone 304.689.3004). This is also a great place to pick up supplies; they are about three miles from the marina.
Cell Phone - Our boats do not have a ship to shore radio. We recommend that someone in your party have a cell phone with AT&T or Sprint service. With AT&T or Sprint, you will get cell signal on a good portion of the lake.
Food and Condiments – coffee, salt, pepper, butter, cooking oil or spray, etc.
Supplies - Plastic wrap, aluminum foil, etc.

Beverages - We do not search coolers, but please be aware that the US Army Corp of Engineers has declared Sutton Lake to be alcohol free.
