Travelers consistently rave about the exceptional customer service and knowledgeable staff here. The rental process is straightforward and welcoming, with team members like Matt and Jack taking time to provide thorough instructions that make even beginners feel comfortable on the water. Multiple reviewers highlight how helpful the staff is with recommendations for lake conditions and great spots to explore. The captained tour experiences receive particularly high marks. Captains Dana, Austin, Jaycee (JC), and others are praised for being personable, informative guides who share fascinating local history while navigating to beautiful destinations like Emerald Bay. Families appreciate thoughtful touches like having infant life jackets available. The boats themselves are clean, dependable, and well-maintained. Several guests mention they've returned multiple times or plan to come back specifically because of their positive experiences, which speaks volumes about the consistent quality you can expect.
We had a great experience renting a pontoon boat. The staff were all friendly and professional. The boat was in good shape. The parking was easy (they offer free valet for renters). I recommend this company.
