    My wife and I couldn't be happier with our experience with Keith's Marina. We worked with Mike…read moreKeith. It's a family run business and the entire family works there. Mike was patient when answering all questions. He put together a very nice package deal on a Sylvan 822LZ. He made recommendations on what options we might consider (with no pressure) and was open and honest about which he thought were unnecessary. He was responsive to any and all ongoing emails when I needed some help reconfiguring the shore station from a V-hull to a tritoon. We brought our trailer down a week early and the boat was loaded and ready to go back up, exactly as he promised as it would be, one week later. Let me address any poor reviews here, I read them all. Every one of them seems to reflect some issue which I think might have been resolved through better communication. None of them bear any similarity to our experience, so I put them down to unhappy people who would rather complain than to work through unfulfilled expectations. This doesn't seem like a family who wants customers walking away unhappy.

    I visited Keith's 5+ years ago and found a boat (around $8,000) that I was ready to pay cash for…read moreand walk out the door with it. I approached a sales guy (no idea who) and told him I was interested and was hoping he'd go $500 less. I mean it was a used boat. There's always wiggle room to make a sale. Guy abruptly tells me the boat is the price it is and that's it. I went back to look at it more and the guy didn't follow and didn't say anything more. Ok, buddy forget your boat. I stopped back a week or two later, just to look at it again. This time the same guy comes up to me and says you want the boat it's yours minus the $500 I initially asked about. Yeah, NO. You had your chance and your customer service sucked. I've driven by for years since and think, you will never get my money.

    The boat patrol on this lake will harass you and pull you over constantly. It seems they are trying…read moreto drive out anyone who isn't using the lake for fishing or sailing. Tickets are always issued, no warnings. Ridiculous rules that are not well published. Seriously, such a shame to have this lake ruined by the people in charge.

    For my 100th review I want to tell you about one of my favorite places ever. I am a little biased…read morebecause I have been swimming in Big Cedar since I was a baby, but this place is the shit. 45 minutes north of Milwaukee, this isn't a quiet Northern Wisconsin lake, this is a big, busy, loved lake. A few short weeks from now, the piers and boats will be out and fall colors will be in full swing. On a clear calm day the lake will reflect the tree's colors and the water will be smooth, this is the perfect time for a canoe ride. You could come out here on a frigid January day when the trees are bare and the lake is frozen. The ice fishers will be out with their trucks and shanties huddled around the good spots, fishing their hearts out. Months later spring's progress will be obvious by the slowly melting ice and the buds on the trees. Piers will go in but the lake will still be quiet until Memorial Day when summer at the lake officially starts. Then the water will be choppy with boat wakes and the smell of bbq will be in the air. The CL Yacht has fireworks on the 4th of July and the that night the bay is full of boats of spectators, on the boat ride home the firework fans on the lake shoot off aftershows from their piers. Most busy weekend afternoons in the summer the shallow sandy area on the east side of the lake is full of boats and swimmers playing frisbee, football, and soaking in the sun. Many of the cottage and lake home owners are from Milwaukee or Chicago but there are enough full time residents for you to notice their presence in the off-season. There are several boat ramps on both the east and west sides of the lake. At this point there are four restaurant/bars on the lake: Timmers, Padways, House of Heileman's and Old Cedar Inn. Most days the best plan is a cocktail cruise on the lake and a grill out. In general people keep to themselves but we are Midwest friendly and if you boat runs out of gas (or you can't figure out where neutral is) it isn't hard to find someone to tow you and your boat home. Stop by Big Cedar for a swim, a boat ride, a sunset, or a drink and fish fry at Timmers; chances are you'll come back again soon.

    It was an amazing tour and we had very nice weather. Milwaukee is a very beautiful city. We learnt…read morea lot about its history and important spaces. We also could appreciate the beauty of the lake as we spend some time there just enjoying the small movement of the waves. If you are visiting to go to a Mets game as us, don't miss the opportunity to jump in the boat for a very great one hour and a half trip.

    This was our favorite thing we did the weekend we visited Milwaukee. It was super easy to book two…read moretickets online which cost about $64 including fees and taxes. We booked a Saturday at 12pm 90 minute tour and were told to arrive at about 11:30am. They let us board at that time - you need to present your online ticket / print out at the ticket booth and then they give you tickets to the boat. The boat itself has a downstairs area with port side with one women's bathroom and starboard side with one women's and one men's bathroom. You'll learn what port/starboard means during the tour. The bar with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and snacks is on the first level. The second level has an area with a covered space in the back and seats open to the air on the front. Since it was a hotter day, my husband and I chose to sit on the bottom of the boat. We thought the best view there was at the front where you get a nice 180 degree view through the windows. We enjoyed the information on the tour and all the great views!
