About Us

Welcome to Smith Mountain Lake Tours & Rentals by Cruise SML!

Smith Mountain Lake’s #1 destination for activities and adventures. Our company was built around one idea: a fun family lake day should feel safe, easy, and memorable. Our family has been in the rental and vacation business for over 15 years, and we bring that guest-first mindset to every outing. We keep it personal. We focus on safety, and we take time to listen. We want to ensure that your day matches what you’re hoping for, whether that’s a quiet cruise, a swim, float and boat tour in the best coves, or a trophy fishing trip with an experienced guide.
