Becky and her crew were outstanding from beginning to end!! Our boat was clean and beautiful!! Thank you Becky!! My family enjoyed our day out on the Lake read more

Called around to rent a boat and tube for the afternoon. Becky answered the phone and could not have been more helpful and friendly! $345 for 4 hours on a boat that comfortably sat 8 adults and 1 kid. Filled it up on the way back for about $100. Had the time of our lives and at 6:00 when we pulled back in, they were waiting for us! Someone hopped in and pulled us in to the dock and helped us all out. Easy, affordable, and friendly! read more

We had a brand new boat, so not much could go wrong. The important thing though was how helpful and friendly the group were. Becky is incredibly helpful. We will be back. read more

Awesome customer service! Our pontoon was in great condition. We definitely will use this company in the years to come. It was a better experience than we have had in previous years. Owners made us feel like family! read more

EXTREAMLY RUDE AND ARROGANT This is the first 1 star review i have ever done! We have rented from Captain Bobs multiple times over the years. This time was our second time in 2 months. We reserved a boat in June 2022 after we returned from a day of boating. We put down a $200 deposit and verified our card was charged. August 17th 2022 we had our reservation to boat again. On August 15th we called and wanted to switch our boat rental to a half day instead of a full day rental. Two of us had ben sick and the weather had been questionable. When my husband called and spoke with Becky he was under the impression that a half day boat rental from 2-6pm was ok. At some point in the conversation Becky had mentioned 2-6pm. The morning of we get a text stating that if we were running late they could push our reservation back to 10-6 instead of 9-5. I called and said I was under the impression that the reservation had been changed and that we had planned to come at 2pm. She said no that she told my husband that she couldn't authorize a change. The phone was handed to the owner (Ryan) who responded quickly with arrogance and told me that Becky has no authorization on changing anything. I handed the phone to my husband to talk with him since he had talked with Becky on Monday. We went to pick up the boat for 10am. As we were doing the paperwork and talking with Becky my husband apologized for all the confusion and both of them agreed that it was a misunderstanding on both parties. Ryan the owner came into the office and my husband asked him if they would throw in a tube for all the confusion. He chuckled and said uhhh no but they are only $35 we could rent one. My husband said no forget it we don't need it. Ryan responds immediately with what is your problem? We both explained again to him that we were under the impression that we changed our reservation to half day. Ryan got extremely rude and nasty. My husband said that he talked to Becky and that he was under the impression based off of how the conversation went that it was changed. He also told Ryan that he didn't think in any way that Becky was trying to be deceitful and was very nice. It was just a misunderstanding. Ryan very arrogantly responds with Becky is his best employee and would never screw us over. We said that's what we just told you how nice she was. We then told him that his customer service was awful. His response multiple times was that we just weren't getting what we wanted and he was going to make money either way and that he has 4.7 star reviews on google so it didn't really matter how his customer service was. We weren't wanting anything. We were explaining why we didn't show up at 9am. At that point we said forget it we will not be going out on the boat and that we were not going to be treated this way. We were all done with our paperwork and ready to go out on the boat. This guy lost us on the dock because of his arrogance and needing to be nasty. We established that it was a misunderstanding and that we were ok with renting the boat from 10-6. All we did was ask for a tube to be throw in and this was how it ended. There was absolutely no need for his smart comment of "what is your problem" and arrogance. His arrogance lost our business completely. Our credit card was charged the $200 deposit in June and then charged another $655 that day. They never deducted the $200 deposit. After doing some research. I've noticed on multiple sites complaints about arrogance and money issues with the owner. Customer service is also a major issue. read more

Perfect location and friendly staff! We had a great time out there and there was plenty of room for 12 of us. I'll rent from captain bob again for sure. read more

Easy reservations, excellent instructions, well worth the price! Ryan did a great job getting the kids in properly fitting life jackets, giving us suggestions of where to cruise and try out tubing, timing, where to get gas, and how to steer the boat. The boat was in excellent condition, clean and full of gas. The kids will be talking about this forever as their favorite part of our lake vacation. read more

Stay away! Captain Bob's is no longer owned by Bob. The website states poontoon boats that carry 12 people and pulls a tube. When we notified the new owner that the engine was overheating he agreed to call us and to come by the resort in the morning to check the boat. Instead, he lied to the resort owner telling her we were seen pulling three tubes and we were too shallow and sucked trash into the engine. None of which was true. He took the boat and did not call us with an explanation. After multiple calls with no return call we had to ask the resort owner to call him. Bottom line, he had the engine repaired returned the boat and told us only 6 people can be onboard when tubing. No refund for a lost day either, and the interior was held together by duct tape. Our past experience with Bob was great. Under new ownership, reputation is not a priority. Look elsewhere for boat rentals. read more

Ryan is a class act and does a fantastic job. Ran a pontoon all week with 12+ people on board and pulled kids on tubes/skis. We'll definitely use Captain Bob's again! read more

We rented one of Bobs 24' tritoon pontoon boat in June 2014. The boat was a pretty new model and ready for our 10am departure, full of gas, canopy up, and a great stereo system. We had 6 adults and three kids and rented one of Bobs pull along tubes. The boat had plenty of power and towed the kids and tube just fine. We spent the whole day on the lake, gassed it up on the way back, and Austin, our contact at Bobs, was there on the dock waiting for us to return at 6pm. The experience couldn't have been better and I would definitely rent from Bobs again. read more

Booked over Memorial Day weekend. Boat was in good condition and motor was well maintained. With 12 guys in the rented boat, we were able to cruise around the whole lake with ease and comfort. If you're looking for a rental boat, definitely check out Captain Bobs. read more

I had booked a boat for a bachelor party with a driver 2 months before the day I needed it. I called the week before to confirm the boat and driver and was told everything was good. I called on Friday (the day before the reservation) to find out what time they would pick us up, and to finalize all the details. I was never given an answer and he told me I would get a call back. I never got a phone call back, so I called again to figure out the time at 5:50 the night before and they told the boat had a catastrophic failure and we wouldn't have it for the next day. They told me I should call around and try to find another boat/driver. - No way that was happening at the last minute when everyone else was closed. There was no effort to find a new boat for us or a driver for us and we didn't even get offered a discount for another weekend. I was highly disappointed and will not recommend to anyone. There are multiple other boat rentals that I will use next time. This was the most unprofessional and terrible service I have ever received. Do not ever use them! read more

We were quoted on phone by the owner of Capt Bob's a 2013 Playcraft 24' tri-toon. What we were delivered was far from a 2013 model. The ghetto ladder was held up by a rope and the boat was in fair condition at best. We used the boat for 2 days doing normal cruising and tubing activities. They were supposed to come pick the boat up at 6pm on our last day and didn't show up. Called and was told they won't make it until the next morning. We waited until 9am and left the boat tied to the dock. Got a phone call at about 1pm saying we were going to be charged $300 for some metal trim piece that was missing from the boat. That's perfect -- deliver me a piece of crap and then when something falls off charge me a crazy repair bill. There are plenty of boat rental places on the lake -- trust me, stay far far away from CAPTAIN BOB'S. read more
