The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the staff for being extremely friendly, helpful, accommodating, professional, and knowledgeable. The rental equipment, including boats, jet skis, and tubes, is consistently described as clean, new, in excellent condition, and well-maintained.

Things to Consider

One customer reported being charged an unexpected fee of $56 for returning their boat 7 minutes late. Another noted that while the boat was fine for cruising, it did not go fast enough to effectively pull a tube, suggesting it might need a tune-up. One review mentioned the boat was 'a little tired,' though they understood this is common for rentals.
