Right at your doorstep

One of Table Rock Lake's premier full-service marinas

The location of Dock Holiday Suites is its single biggest advantage: you're right at Port of Kimberling Marina, a full-service marina that has been a hub of Table Rock Lake boating for decades. Instead of loading the car and driving to a public ramp, you walk down to the water. That's the difference between a lake trip and a lake life for the week.

Everything you need for a day on the water is here — rental boats and watersports gear, a fuel dock, slips, and a waterfront restaurant — which is why being minutes from the marina is one of the top reasons guests choose Branson Retreat. For the wider picture of getting on the water, see the boating & marinas guide and the Table Rock Lake activities guide.

POK Boat Rentals

Pontoon and tritoon rentals

POK Boat Rentals at the marina makes it easy to get exactly the boat your group wants for the day. Pontoons and tritoons are the family favorites — roomy, stable, and shaded, with tritoons (three pontoons) delivering more power and a smoother ride for tubing and longer cruises. Some pontoons even come with a slide for the kids.

Prefer more adventure? The marina also rents ski and wake-surf boats and wave runners for groups who want to carve the open water. Whatever you rent, you launch right here — no trailer, no ramp wait, no long drive.

  • Pontoons
  • Tritoons
  • Ski & wake boats
  • Wave runners

Make a splash

Tube, wakeboard, kneeboard & watersports rentals

The marina rounds out boat rentals with all the towable gear that makes a lake day memorable — tubes, wakeboards, and kneeboards, plus the watersports equipment to match. Pair a tritoon with a tube and you've got an afternoon of laughs for every age; add a wakeboard or kneeboard for the thrill-seekers in the group.

Table Rock's famously clear, calm coves make it one of the best lakes in the Ozarks for learning to ride, so it's a great place for first-timers and kids to give watersports a try.

  • Wakeboards
  • Kneeboards

Full service

Fuel dock and full-service marina amenities

As a full-service marina, Port of Kimberling has the essentials covered. A fuel dock means you can top off on the water without cutting your day short, and the marina's slips, on-water assistance, and boater services keep everything running smoothly whether you're renting or bringing your own boat.

Guests at Dock Holiday Suites can arrange boat slips through the marina, and a public boat launch is nearby for those trailering in. It's the kind of one-stop setup that turns a complicated boating day into a simple one.

  • Fuel dock
  • Boat slips
  • On-water assistance
  • Launch nearby

Waterfront dining

Pier 28 waterfront dining

When you're ready to come off the water, Pier 28 serves up waterfront dining right at the marina — a relaxed spot to grab a meal with a view of the docks and the lake. It's the easy answer to "where should we eat tonight?" after a long, sunny day, just steps from where you tied up.

Family tip: while parents relax over a meal at the waterfront, kids almost always end up feeding and watching the ducks and geese that gather around the marina. It's a small thing, but it's one of the simple pleasures guests remember most from a stay at Branson Retreat — a genuinely family-friendly local moment that costs nothing and delights every time.

Hours and menus change seasonally, so check current details before you go.

For the whole crew

Family lake activities: sunset cruises, tubing & swimming

This is where staying right at the marina pays off for families. A sunset cruise on a rented pontoon is the perfect easy evening — pack a cooler, idle out into a quiet cove, and watch the sky go gold over the Ozark hills. By day, tubing behind a tritoon and swimming in the clear coves keep kids happy for hours.

Because everything is minutes from your suite, you can do it in pieces — a morning swim, an afternoon tube session, an evening cruise — without ever feeling rushed. Add the marina's ducks and geese, Pier 28, and the pool back at the property, and you've got a full day of lake fun without a single long drive. For more ideas, see the family attractions guide.
