Meg, Martin, and their team consistently deliver a smooth, hassle-free boat rental experience that keeps customers coming back year after year. The staff stands out for being genuinely helpful, offering great local recommendations and being flexible when weather shifts or schedule changes come up. Boats are typically clean, ready to go when you arrive, and the whole process from pickup to drop-off runs like clockwork. Several reviewers mention renting multiple times, which speaks volumes about the reliability here. Most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, though it's worth noting a couple guests encountered boats that looked more worn than expected, with one mentioning torn seats and difficult steering. There was also a mechanical issue where a bolt snapped during one rental, which required a tow back and left that customer feeling the situation wasn't handled with enough care or accountability. These appear to be exceptions rather than the norm, but they're something to be aware of. Overall, the friendly service, responsive communication, and consistently smooth operations make this a solid choice for getting out on the water.
