This was our 4th year renting. The boats are always clean and in great shape. Nick helped us get setup and was knowledgeable about the area and the boat. He is a great employee!

From the minute you get to the marina you felt welcome. Easy check in, helpful, very nice staff and a really lovely, comfortable boat. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

Customer service was amazing. Helpful and friendly. We returned a little late and they were kind and didn’t mind. We will definitely come back and rent a pontoon from them again next summer!

Owner's reply

New owners have made this place great. Everyone should visit by boat, kayak, bike or car. I would do each of them.

Owner's reply
Wow, thank you for your review, Jim! We appreciate your insight and your 5-star review!

The experience and the (New Age) electric boat was really cool. They give me a $50 Gift Card after renting the boat that was really nice. Although we couldn't use it before we left because the restaurant was closed and the store was shut down. We didn't feel like drinking it all up so we left it with bartender.

Owner's reply
Thank you for sharing your EV experience.
