Hi Jean-Paul, So nice to actually hear back from you. I'm sorry, but I am not going to remove my…read morereview. It is not in any way hate, just our experience. Did I hate that you ruined my father's 75th birthday celebration, absolutely!! However, the hate stops there. Just want people to be aware of what can happen when they go through you. And to respond to your comment... The boat was absolutely not broken. If it was you would have known the night/day before, right? The boat hadn't even been in the water yet, we were supposed to meet you in the parking lot before and we were all going in together. You also have reviews on that specific boat that very same day. Also, you absolutely did NOT call. We called you many times and left a couple voicemails. You turned your phone off after the first one. We did hear from the Boatsetter App right away and THEY refunded us our money. And SOOOOOOO many things you could have done better if indeed your boat was actually broken. For starters, answering your phone and explaining the situation.... Hope you take care as well.

Let's start off by agreeing that learning to sail sounds- 1:…read moresuper fun 2: hard Go Sail Arizona, and Cpt Clint made learning super fun, and he did it in a way that made it understandable. In his first few minutes Saturday morning he warned us that he will talk ALOT. Yea- no lie, the man had a lot to say. What was awesome, was that everything he said worked together to teach you how to understand sailing. If you want to go to a class where it's all book oriented and set for a test- this is not the place for you. If you want to understand the principles of sailing- to really understand it, Clint is the guy. I took the test and aced it. I know you probably are thinking "Brendan, your super educated and smarter than Spock" and maybe that's true. But I think I aced the test because Clint taught me how to understand the principles of sailing. I have a few pieces of advice- 1- hit the head (bathroom) before you launch. 2- read the book, don't memorize it 3- leave your ego home. Remember, you don't know how to sail. Accept correction, don't justify or make excuses. Be like an 8 year old kid who is truly curious and willing to learn. 4- make sure you have water and snacks. 5- sunscreen and protection is good. 6- hide some bananas in your bag. If you make a mistake offer it to Clint. It's his favorite food. That's my opinion, and if you've read this far, your probably Clint or a super curious person. If your Clint- thanks again man, that was the best experience I've had in years. If your a super curious person- just pull the trigger, what do you have to lose?

Choose between a sightseeing cruise, live music brews cruise, sunset dinner cruise, or live music sunset cruises. The cruises run Wednesday thru Sunday in May. I took my mom for a mother/daughter adventure on a Wednesday afternoon sightseeing cruise. You'll park at Pleasant Harbor and hop a ride down the docks on a shuttle cart (bring some cash for tips). We arrived early to enjoy lunch and drinks at Dillon's before our 2pm cruise. Check in 30 minutes prior and then set off for 90 minutes on the water. Adults are $30, kids $15, toddlers free. On the boat, you can sit inside on the main level or up top and outside. Grab some snacks and a beverage from the bar to really luxuriate. The captain narrates the cruise and gives great information about the lake, the dam, and the wildlife. As for wildlife, we saw a few bird species and wild burros on shore. It was such a peaceful afternoon and a great time together. Follow @msbusyblonde on insta for more Fun

The captain talked for a bit, but alot of what he said was drowned out from a poor PA system. Otherwise, you just see the mountains and kind of just relax as you go through the cruise. You can score a few discounts, but this will cost you about $20 per person. The system is great as you get picked up by shuttle in the parking lot and get dropped off right next to the boat practically. It was empty (7 people) on a recent Friday afternoon, but still worthy if you also include lunch at Dillon's.

UNTIL they offered us a free ride home (BUT DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP UNTIL WE CALLED THEM AND ARGUED WITH THEM TO GET OUR MONEY BACK) We called them several times and they ignores our calls. When they finally answered, they argued with us and had no customer service for correcting business with unhappy customers. They argued that we need to pay the full price, even though we weren't even on the water for the full time we scheduled. This company is sad and NOT good at customer service.

We were supposed to start our trip at 11am but did not get into the boat until 1pm. Then we returned at 4pm since that's where we were told to be back so that we can get our ride back home.

We could not even fully enjoy our time since we were so stressed out about the entire situation! So sad that they disappointed our bride on what should have been the best weekend!

Note: the cabins are actually floating on the water. If you are prone to motion sickness be aware.

Unfortunately, our day on the water was disappointing because the boat was not equipped with an anchor that would hold in the lake conditions. One of the main reasons we rented the boat was to stop, swim, cool off, and let our kids play in the water. While we watched numerous other boaters anchored and enjoying the lake, we were unable to do the same because our boat continually drifted. Had the anchor worked properly, our experience would have been much better. The customer service was great, but not being able to safely anchor significantly impacted our day and kept us from fully enjoying the rental. I hope the company addresses this issue for future customers.

There was a lot left to be desired with this experience…read more We arrived for our 8:00 AM reservation, and it was pretty clear the staff had also barely just arrived. Our boat wasn't ready, and we didn't get launched until after 8:30 AM. The young guy helping us was nice enough, but he could really benefit from moving with a little more purpose. He still had to clean the boat, grab the safety flag, and initially told us he couldn't technically launch us because he had only worked there for a month and a half... even though he ended up launching us anyway. At one point, there were three deckhands working on tying up one floatie for another reservation while we were still waiting. Have we heard of delegating tasks? The boat itself was also disappointing because it was not the boat shown in the photos online. I reserved the Canyon Comforter based on the photos, so that was frustrating. Not having the lounger and table was disappointing and the cushions were torn up. I even took a second look to see if they were just using stock photos, but each boat listing appears to have different photos, so it didn't seem like a generic image situation. To be fair, the safety instructions were solid, and the kid explained things well. However, he talked about the anchor multiple times, and then when we were finally ready to anchor, there was no anchor on the boat. Luckily, it was a calm day and we found a cove without much wake, otherwise that would have been extremely frustrating. When I told the woman up front about the missing anchor after we got back, she said the person who gave us the safety information should have taken a photo before launching us. So I guess after a month and a half of working there, that part still hasn't made it into the training manual. Thankfully, the boat ride itself was smooth, and we still had a wonderful Father's Day with the family. But between the late launch, the boat not matching the photos, missing equipment, and general lack of organization, this experience was definitely not worth the cost.
