I would definitely recommend renting from them and enjoying the other side of the lake where it is not so busy. Renters be aware that they do not rent tubes but do have them for sell (for a price) at the marina. This is not overly apparent on their website so I thought it worth mentioning. Life jackets are provided with the boat, however, which is nice in comparison to other marinas where you have to rent them. All I all, we had a great experience and hope to rent from them again in the future.

This is a small, family-owned operation that couldn't have made a better experience for us! The prices are great, they're super friendly, the store has a lot of essentials for low prices, and there is an adjoining BBQ place called Jill's to get a bite to eat! The only thing that had prices inflated was gas. We rented a pontoon that had a radio equipped. No other fancy stuff, but the price and service was right. We reserved a half day from 2-6pm but had to stop around 4 because of a storm. They only charged us for half the rate, without any hesitation. I really loved this place and if I'm ever back in the area I'll definitely go back.

This was an additional $180 cost! there was no mention anywhere when on website! when we inquired about transporting the coolers ourselves, we were told we could not do that; don't know if that meant that it was private property or there was no public access. We surrendered because we had no other options as far and paid their huge fee. Waited over an hour for transportation to put in spot, our group was split up in two buses, loaded kayaks were blocking the seats before we were allowed to get on, and passengers were scolded because some younger people did not climb over the bus seats and were expected to do so versus the older passengers!!! Shouldn't have had to climb over the seats at all. This is also a safety hazard, probably against the law. We finally arrived and only one person there to assist our large group and many other people to put in the river. They did have outfitted canoe kayaks staged for our group, but other groups were taking half of the one set aside for us which further delayed us another 45 minutes, we finally got in the river only to find out that three of the kayaks were broken. Overall, I would rate this outfitter as the worst I have ever seen personnel under demand equipment, and very poor condition. Operation for basic services was not very well organized. Needless to say we will never return to this outfitter or recommend anyone else use them. In fact we will recommend they use anybody else than James River Outfitters!!!!

Beautiful float all season pending river conditions you may or may not drag but that's mother nature. My only complaint is I wish they could get the 5 mile float back as it was perfect for beginners in the group. The 7 mile was a beautiful float just long. Hoping that there will be improvements for the 2025 season but over all a great spot!!

Thanks, Tyson and Andrew and crew for moving our beast of a boat baby…read more The service and commitment to making all things perfect for the move was unbelievable. I can't exaggerate their attention to detail and to making sure our boat made the journey from out of state to home. It was remarkable to watch them load (with the help of Andrew, the diver), secure, and move it. They secured the permits and found the easiest route. They disassembled and re-assembled as needed for the move. Because of where we were locating the boat, Tyson (driver extraordinaire) had to literally back his 50 foot plus rig out on a one lane road UP a hill. I would not hesitate to recommend this crew and if we were on Table Rock, I'm sure we would be going to them for other boat services. Thanks, guys!

We were the only ones that booked during that time so I think Captain Sam just let us parasail longer. We were easily up there for 20+ minutes. It was so much fun! There wasn't a ton of waiting around & instructions beforehand but rather a practical explanation once you're on the boat heading out to where you'll start. I also really liked how they let you bring whatever you want (sunglasses, waterproof camera, etc.) up in the air as long as you understand it's your responsibility if you drop it. The other thing I really liked was they take videos and pictures of your experience and you can buy the SD card for $30, there was about 30 pictures and 1 video, but definitely worth it! Captain Sam and his co worker were both funny & made us have a great experience. If I could change one thing is if the price was a bit cheaper, I'm sure more people wouldn't hesitate as much to sign up.
