A1 Recreation Rentals - The damages - Boating Near Me - Clovis, California

See all

Boat rental was stressful. The boat will take on water, SUPER slow, photos do not look like the one in person. Boat is old and run down. It was open seating which was a plus.. but this boat did not go over 10- 15mph and with every wake all passengers including the driver were soaked. Not worth the high rental fee. This is not the first time I've rented a boat- or owned one. But this was a first experience with an old boat that could not physically go over 10/15mph or pull a tube with small children. Not to mention the owner refused to believe it was a boat error but an operator error. read more

Only"half of the business" owner, Jason, sold me and my husband his 1998 Porsche Boxter on the A1 Recreation Rentals garage lot and sealed tight with an "honest man's" promise of "It drives perfect, nothing's wrong with it-you're all good to go. Call me when you make it home". Wave wave, goodbye. 5 mins later it started to over heat and smoke. Pulled over, topped it off, car then kills its own battery every two minutes. And now, he won't answer my calls. His mother should have swallowed, she spit out all the good sh*t and left him pint-sized and brainless. Jason, just remember, .. Money will never make you handsome, or keep you kept as a Husband either. Ps. Lay off the meth, its starting to show. read more

I was extremely hesitant to use A1 Recreation based on the previous review. I needed a boat for the 4th of July weekend and everything was booked. I looked everywhere else, but no one had anything available. I tried to call but did not get anyone to answer so I texted the number on the website and they quickly got back to me. Although I will admit, it felt really shady to text someone about renting their boat, they answered back very quickly. Deposit: The deposit to hold the boat was $500. I attempted to go to the location to drop off my deposit however, they were not available. Greg suggested I give him my credit card info over the phone. Again, it felt really weird giving someone my credit card information over the phone that I had never met but I did it anyway. Once I gave him the deposit I received a calendar invite with the address for pick-up. Pick-Up: We were suppose to meet Greg at A1 Recreation at 8:00 am but were running behind. I asked if he could meet us at 9:00 am and he quickly replied. He was very flexible with our pick-up time and I really appreciated it. Perks: Greg and his daughter are very sweet. I did not expect them to be so nice. Greg was kind enough to let us borrow his year pass for Millerton Lake. It allowed us to skip past the line and waive the fee. He also included tow-able water tube for no extra cost. He also gave us great instructions on how to use the boat (none of us had ever driven one). The boat had plenty of fuel for the entire day. The boat itself was really nice and had plenty of room for 10 people. Drop-off: The drop-off time needed to be by 9:00 pm but we arrived by 8:00 pm. Greg was not sure if he would be at the shop during drop-off time but gave us great instructions on where to park. Fortunately, he arrived when we were about to leave. We handed him over the water tube and keys. It was a very simple drop-off without a walk-thru. Overall: I would give A1 Recreation a 5 star if they had some type of deposit system on their website along with a checkout system that would send you a receipt. It would just make me feel so much more comfortable. I would recommend using A1 Recreation for boat rental and I will rent again soon. read more

This place deserves a 0 star rating. Horrible customer service and scams customers. DO NOT RENT ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE. We rented out two jet skis for a birthday and got a brand new jet ski. The man ended up keeping our deposit for minor scratches on the new jet ski and lied saying he had it in the shop when he in fact had it rented out the following day not being sure of any damages before renting it out to new people. Please please please do not give this place your business. read more

My son rented 2 jet skis charged him $500 to rent them and $1,000 deposit when he returned them he took his deposit plus told him he had to pay an additional $1,200 for some normal ware and tear on the bottom of the key ski. The owner Greg is a rip off. I told him I was going to write a bad review and he said he didn't t care. So if he doesn't care of bad reviews he differently doesn't care to take your money. DO NOT GO TO THIS GUY. Save your money and rent them at the lake you're going to. It's a lot cheaper trust me!! read more
