It was super cool and a little scary because this boat was awesome getting up to speed. Just went out for a short 2 hour trip and we brought some water toys they offer. Unfortunately we LOST the tube on the way back to the dock. I'm so sorry again for losing the tube. Staff was so sweet and they write on everything "majors outpost" so I hope it is brought back. I tipped a bit extra to thank them for not charging me for the tube. I think next time we need to check out the jet skis! Thanks again I'll be back Side note: Tried to rent last summer but had to cancel due to fire evacuations. I received a full refund which was greatly appreciated after the stress of the fire. Luckily my family's cabin still stands in mill creek and we were able to come back this summer.

This wide pathway is also the boat launch. Walking unto the stable floating marina, lots of boats for rent, restrooms, a beautiful outdoor seating area, sundry/snack shop, great boat rental place, emerald waters and CARPS. Kids and the kid in me thoroughly enjoyed their smacking mouths sucking up their pellets. The sundry shop provides the food for free. The meandering forest ride passing the dam made it a fun trip. Enjoy a snack, coffee, ice cream and/or beer and enjoy it on that floating marina. There is a Sheriff hanging around, so behave!

We anchored the patio pontoon in a cove where everyone swam, enjoyed the water slide and fished. Then we took turns on the ski boat.

Signing up drivers and obtaining insurance at the office was not difficult. Life vests were provided. The entire family wants to do it again

They have no other bookings yet for the entire day. See photo. They are still charging us!! These people are engaging in terrible business practices and are complete scammers! What a way to run a small local business into the ground Tish!!!!!! They obviously only care about trying to take advantage of their customers rather than taking care of their customers. We will never ever recommend this place to any of our friends in Lake Almanor.

It takes tokens to use the showers (2.50 ea) and they refused to sell us tokens for our group because they were "for other customers." The lady working the counter literally slammed a handful of tokens on the counter and was incredibly rude when she told us she was saving them for "other customers." Not only was it frustrating to not be allowed to use the showers but Ive never met more rude people when trying to spend my money. Absolutely do NOT recommend this place.

DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!!!…read more These people are horrible. DO NOT RENT A BOAT FROM THEM. Scott, the owner, called me to cancel the boat rental we had, and rather than being contrite, he got upset at me and hung up the phone on me. When I called back, he started yelling at me, telling me why he should feel bad, as it was him that was losing business and money. Instead of apologizing and offering an alternative, he started being accusatory. My family was very excited about a boat rental and he did not even have the common courtesy to apologize. I hope you are reading this Scott, and see the error of your ways!!!!!

Pulled the boat up to Tahoe for the celebrity golf tournament. Great time BTW…read more The Lakeside Marina was in a location close to my hotel and was easy to get in and out. Tahoe price gouging kills me. $50 to launch my boat...okay...$50 more to take it out of the water. Please! I had a few friends that were going to meet me at the marina to jump in the boat. The marina told me they charge $20 or $25 (I can't remember the price) per person to walk in and get on my boat. I am not willing to pay for something like that. I picked them up from a dock near the marina instead. Unfortunately that is Tahoe for you. The ramp was easy to use and it was small so it only held one truck and trailer at a time. Gotta get there early so there is room to park your rig. I'll go there again due to the convenience, but not for a while.

This is one of the most fun things you can do in Tahoe, renting a boat, heading over to emerald bay and pulling people on the tubes along the way! - 1 star for not enough instruction on pulling the tube or using an anchor. two years in a row I've had the rope get caught in the propeller and cut up. I also had to request an anchor, it wasn't offered and this is one of the fun things you wanna do is anchor somewhere and eat lunch and swim off the boat. also too expensive. They could knock the price down a bit for sure, but people keep paying it so they keep jacking it up every year I guess?

It was 111 degrees when we arrived, the heat slowly dissipated as the days wore on, but the AC kept us cool, even in the two loft bedrooms. The only mechanical issue we encountered was the lake water pressure, but the techs easily fixed it. The marina store had snack items (mainly ice cream treats for us) at fair prices. Our boat was fully equipped with an array of cookware and entertaining pieces, Pottery Barn dishes and quality kitchen gadgets-- even a Pampered Chef garlic press. Our hot tub was clean and fully functional. The staff was professional- Every one of them that we interacted with. I highly recommend this company!
