What a beautiful way to spend a late afternoon in August. When we booked the boat the weather was not very nice. We shifted our reservation 3 times. Third time was the charm. The staff were so accommodating and nice. Customer Service was great. Get out and enjoy Lake Dillon read more

My parents in law rented two pontoon boats as part of the activities for our family reunion yesterday. I was nervous beforehand as I've never ridden on a pontoon and have never really enjoyed "boating" as I tend to get sick. The drive from Breckenridge to Dillon was beautiful. The pontoon was good, smooth and I didn't get headaches or sick. It was great fun for all the family, we had 13 kids ages 6 mons to 15. Since my child was the 6 month old, I would say bring a bottle as their life jackets get in the way for nursing. Also bring light jackets/sweaters (we did) as it gets cold here and there. The views of the mountains from the lake were fantastic. There is a little restaurant in the marina and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. There is a ramp from the parking lot for strollers/wheelchairs but it is pretty steep, at least it's better than nothing. Would go back. Wasn't packed full of boats out on the lake like in other places. read more

What a wonderful 2 hours we had on lake Dillon yesterday. We had a pontoon boat for 12 so the 6 Adults and 6 kids motored around the lake on a beautiful afternoon. The boat was easy to handle The staff were friendly and helpful. For $200 it was a very special trip. Try it, you will love it read more

Reservations made in advance. Requested four hours by email, but no one got back to me. No one answered phone, called several times. Arrive early. The whole process takes longer than you think prior to departure. Email receipt did not mention that Dillon and Frisco Marinas are two places. We only knew about the Marina in Frisco. So went to Frisco then had to drive over to Dillon. Marina very crowded on a Thursday in iffy weather. Dillon Marina bathrooms were clean earlier in day, but dirty and no soap later in day. First boat they gave us did not start, so we switched to another. Boat was clean. 22 foot was a good size for family and bouncing on the the white cap waves. The dogs did well on the boat. The laminated map was helpful. Directions for operating the boat were clear. Return instructions were clear. We were under dressed for the wind and continual white cap spray. Thus cold and wet. Since weather was in 90's in Denver and high 80's in Vail we expected to be warm or hot on the boat. The on site employees were pleasant. Parking was very crowded. Many stairs to parking lot. Make sure to bring your own food, cooler and beverages. Be prepared for wind or rain. You can't swim off the boat. read more

Not worth the money. I paid to rent a boat for a four hour trip. I thought we were going to get a nice pontoon boat. Instead we got a beaten up boat that was super old. The employee told us that he was giving us the beaten up boat because we were going fishing. Apparently if you are going fishing, you get the cruddy boat because they don't want any damage done to the newer boats done by any fishing knives or hooks. So keep that in mind if you decide to use these boats for fishing. The boat was so wrecked that the fuel gauge didn't work. It was stuck on E the whole time, but they claimed it was full of gas. Also the top speed was about 10-15 miles an hour. Then towards the end of our trip we heard a loud beep. I called the office and told them the low oil light came on. They told me to turn off the engine and wait for the help. "Help" arrived 20 mins later. The employee admitted the tank looked "bone dry" then proceeded to laugh. Apparently this was a funny situation to him. Imagine renting a car that had no oil in it. Makes you wonder how often these boats are really maintained. I was hoping maybe they would offer some sort of discount or partial refund. They offered nothing. I asked if everyone got an old model like the one I had. The staff chuckled and told me that boat wasn't even the oldest. Apparently they have much older models. So to summarize, pay a lot of money to get an old boat that's slow, has a broken fuel gauge, no oil in it, oh and no anchor. On the plus side, they were nice enough to provide us with a paddle for our pontoon boat. read more

My first Sailing lesson, went out with Ms Jenn, I was nervous but she made me feel more confident even though we were in more wind than expected. Jenn was very detailed but not overwhelming in her instruction. Felt like I came a long way in just 4 hrs. read more

So beautiful up here and the pontoon rental made it that much better. Very nice boats and very nice people. Will do this again.

We spent 4 hours on the lake Tuesday. We had a group of 13 people on a 25' pontoon. We had a great time. Everyone was super friendly, they explained in detail where we could go and where we needed to avoid to not damage the prop. They even let us go out a bit early so we got extra time on the rental. We had the best of times! read more

Women and Wine is $50... not including wine. It is BYO. Apps included are very sweet.. not suited for wine. Cheese, crackers, nuts, dried Fruit, apples, etc.. are suggestions but cupcakes, jams, sweet cherries, only one item.. cheese pop up biscuits was not sweet. We weren't drinking dessert wine. Fyi. read more

We've rented from the Marina multiple times and we always have a great experience. Friendly staff, well maintained boats and beautiful location. One of our favorite Summit County summer activities! read more

We reserved the 8am slot and everything ran very smoothly. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend the 20' pontoon for small groups. It was very manageable and comfortable. Great service, great experience! read more

What a great discovery! As someone who has spent most of their life on the East coast, close to water, this is my new refuge. We rented the runabout, which was perfect for my partner and I. Being from Denver, he had never really been in a motorboat or had the opportunity to drive one. (Don't worry I was right there when he did, and there were not many on the lake.) We had a great day! We packed a lunch, had time to completely slowly circle the lake as well as make a few runs back and forth to feel the air in our face and the spray from the wake. The speed limit is 30, which is perfect for our runabout. There were times when we had a nice breeze that made me glad I was on a motorboat and NOT on a paddleboard or Kayak. FYI we rented for 3 hours which for 2 adults was good, not sure if I had little kids if I would go that long. We made our reservation at least 2 weeks ahead, and they said they were booked through the weekend. The drive from North Denver took us about 1.25 hours on a Thursday morning. They had a nice looking outdoor restaurant there, which we will try next time. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the boat and the restrooms were clean. We will be back! Thank you! read more

Went to Lake Dillon in early November and it was absolutely gorgeous. My friends and I have been traveling around Colorado seeing all the sites and I am so glad we decided to stop by here. The pictures don't even do it justice - it is absolutely gorgeous. I'd definitely stop in again if I were in town. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff are so awesome loving and courteous. The prices are amazing for being able to rent boats and be out on the lake without having to own your own boat. The scenery is to die for. We love going to this place every summer. read more

Great service, beautiful lake and helpful staff. The reason for the four stars is the boat (18' runabout) was "less than new" and had signs of wear and tear. The boat was clean, but just showed some age. Plus, the speedometer didn't work and with a 30 mph limit on the lake, this lead to some guesswork. I would use Dillon Marina again. read more

We did the Sunset Sailboat Tour with Captain Jenn. This was THE highlight of our Colorado getaway! Jenn entertained us the entire cruise by sharing her sailing expertise and Lake Dillon knowledge. Nothing better than some wine, a sunset sail, and a very capable captain! read more

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our sailboat was clean and in great condition. A great place for boat rentals and reasonably priced! read more

Had such a blast impromtu kayaking! Tons of boats, kayaks, paddle boards for rent. Beautiful scenery, great vibe

David is correct. The beer at the marina is also too expensive, the excuse being that 'they have to haul it down there.' Go across the lake to the Frisco marina (Island Grill), much better. read more

I wasn't the one who went inside to do all of the paperwork for our boat rental, but the people on the phone who took the reservation and the dock hands were extremely friendly and accommodating. I filled out the reservation request online after hours and someone called me back even before the office opened the next morning to get us set up. I also asked about dogs on the boat and was told they are "welcome and encouraged," which surprised me; I was expecting a "no" or to at least be quoted a strict policy about damage deposits or cleaning fees. The dock hands were also fantastic, they told us to come back 10 minutes late at no charge because we were late getting on the water because we were waiting on another friend to get there. Their rental rates were more affordable than what I would expect too. For 2 hours, it's $105 for a 6-person speed boat, or $135 for a 12-person pontoon. We got a bunch of people together and grilled lunch on the grill on the back of the boat. With gas and everything, it was under $20/person... pretty much what it costs to go out for lunch and get a couple drinks anywhere. We plan on doing this as much as possible this summer, it's such a great affordable way to spend a beautiful day! read more

We rented a 20' pontoon on a beautiful, sunny day. The staff at the Marina were very helpful and informed. They answered all our questions and were most professional. The pontoon was in top condition, seemed brand new! The ladies on the pier were most helpful and patient with our questions. We had a wonderful two hours on the cruise. Truly relaxing and delightful. The two young men who guided us is were equally friendly and professional. Definitely a must if you are visiting Dillon! read more

We rented a pontoon for our company team retreat and it was a wonderful experience! The Fall colors were starting to break through so it added to the beautiful landscape. The staff was friendly and the Marina was clean. I would highly recommend the Dillon Marina, in fact, I'm going back again with my family so they can experience the fun! read more

HORRIBLE customer service- I reserved a small pontoon boat for 3:30 pm. On the way, we hit traffic, and called to make the Marina representative aware we would be late. We were assured that we would still be able to take the boat out as long as we returned it at 5:30 pm. When we arrived at 3:40, we began filling out the paperwork when an assistant manager came out and abruptly told us that we were late and wouldn't be able to take a boat out. We told her that we had just spoken with another individual who said we would be fine if we arrived late. The assistant manager was EXTREMELY rude in telling us that it was "our fault we were late" and she "had to do her job". Overall, our experience was extremely off putting and I would not recommend this Marina. read more

Excellent service and our boat was clean and in excellent condition. It's the way to go to get on the lake if you don't own craft.

Outstanding experience renting a pontoon boat at Dillon Marina! The boat was beautifully maintained, clean, comfortable and easy to drive. I was especially impressed by the outstanding customer service! We arrived a bit late for our reservation and the employee offered to change our reservation time so we were able to enjoy as much time as possible on the lake. Very impressed and grateful for the excellent service! Highly recommend Dillon Marina!! read more

I am amazed that the Dillon Marina doesn't find a place to park the empty boat trailers anywhere else but where they are so customers can park in those spaces. The season is not that long. read more

We had a great time! The folks at the marina were very accommodating and gladly upgraded us from our original reserved speed boat to a pontoon. The boat was in great condition & 3 hours flew by. We had our grandkids with us & they loved it! read more

My husband and I have been Marina Customers for over 12 years! We have always enjoyed the staff and found them to be professional, polite and very busy!! We have found the office manager Shannon to be delightful! She is a great attribute to the Marina! Her ability to work, train and manage the Marina office staff has been very efficient. WHOOHOO to Shannon, Bob and the Marina Staff!!!! read more

On Tuesday, July 13 6 of us had booked a pontoon boat for 4 hours. I had my concerns about the weather (yes, I signed the waiver) because a huge black cloud was coming in and the water was already choppy to begin with. Our "instructor" assured me that we had nothing to worry about and sent us out on the lake. Within an hour powerful winds started to rock our boat to the point that we all thought it was going to tip over and sink. Strong waves crashed up on us as well as being pelted by rain. We were soaked within minutes and our boat was taking on water. Needless to say we were all terrified and extremely thankful to make it safely back to the dock where we were greeted with jovial laughter and joking from the staff that "at least no one fell overboard"! Not one staff member acknowledged that we had had an awful experience. I went directly into the office at the marina and was simply given back my driver's license and credit card that they were holding. No offer to compensate us for the hours lost on the lake. Only after my husband went in and complained did they agree to only charge us for 2 hours instead of the 4 we had been charged for. There were others who came in to the office visibly shaken after their experience on the lake. Not one offer from the Marina for even the most nominal compensation for their distress. I felt it very unfair and lacked plain old good business. They (the staff) just kept falling back on the fact that all had signed the waiver and they could not control the weather. Fair enough but this was extraordinary weather and the Marina should have NEVER sent boats out in those conditions. read more

Rented a pontoon boat. Had a great day tour the lake. Check in and out was easy and the people were very helpful.

Easy online line rental. Good price. No hassle check out and return. Great cancellation policy. Boat in good shape. Perfect for a few hours out on the water with the kids and the dog. read more

The Catalina 22 Sport that I rented for two hours on the lake was excellent - my family enjoyed our time sailing very much. I had reserved the boat the prior Thursday, yet the day after our sail my wife, for some unknown reason, received a "thank you" email and request for a review. We were perplexed, as the marina had gotten all of my information when I reserved the boat and made payment on my card. We called twice to have this error on their part corrected, and the email sent to me instead, but was told by Will at the service desk that all of that is handled by a 3rd party, and there's nothing they could do - he even said he checked with his manager. In future I would suggest handling billing and email correspondence properly - that is, with the contact person who made the reservation in the first place. If Dillon Marina would like me to amend this review, I would be more than happy to. All I ask is that they send me the same email my wife received, as should have happened in the first place. read more

My husband and I took friends and rented a 22 ft sailboat yesterday at the Marina. Great staff. Very friendly. Great sailing and their rental fleet is very well maintained . Can't wait to go again. Highly recommended read more

Really great customer service here. Showed up a little late and the weather was not ideal but the people here really wanted to make sure our group had a good time. We ended up taking the pontoon out and we still had a great time despite the weather. Our dog also enjoyed his first boat ride. All around great people working here. Thanks! read more

If it is at all windy do not go it will be no fun, boats don't have an anchor to anchor up and relax, can't swim in the lake.

Six of us rented a 22' Catalina and sailed yesterday and had a wonderful day on the water. Beautiful weather, good lively wind, the four hours went by so quick. The marina crew was very helpful and the boat was in good shape. read more

I was definitely disappointed in the service at Lake Dillon Marina when went there with my family. The lake was beautiful and the company was wonderful, but the grumpy crabs who work in the Marina office really put a damper on the experience. We were briefed on how to operate the boat and where we were allowed to go on the map, which was pretty par for the course. During our rental time with the boat, we hit a random rock in the middle of the lake, so we were expecting to have to pay for the repair of the boat. No problem, we signed the waiver, so we knew what to expect. However, when we got back to the Marina, we were greeted with TERRIBLE customer service. My biggest issue is that when you run a company that specializes in a service rather than a product, then your dealings with customers really needs to be special. The office manager (a man named Shannon) didn't even offer to come look at the propellor to see if it was salvagable, so he just charged us for a complete replacement instead. After we assuaded to the fact that we'd pay for the propellor (which, again, we were expecting), he asked my dad for clarification on where in the lake we hit the rock. So my dad pointed on the map and Shannon basically accused my dad of taking out a red marker they use in the office and drawing arrows on himself! I stared at him with a slack jaw when he outright accused a paying customer of lying. Unbelievable. In the grand scheme of things, I really don't care about the cost of replacing the propellor, but this Marina DOES NOT DESERVE TO HAVE CUSTOMERS. They simply do not do enough to earn new customers or to keep loyal customers. I hear that there are other marina options on Lake Dillon, and I would strongly suggest using another one instead. read more
