    MYS is a great place to rent a boat and explore the waters around Great Harbor. The owner and the…read moredock crew were very helpful. Reservation was as easy as making a phone call. Boat was gassed and ready when we arrived. Bob walked through a couple of suggested destinations and sent us on our way. We left Manset, came down toward Seawall and then turned to come under Great Cranberry. From there we peaked at Bakers before splitting the Cranberries. We rounded Sutton and landed briefly in Seal Harbor before heading to Northeast. A quick trip around Bear and Greening led to a run towards Claremont, Causeway, Fernald and Flying Mountain. Lunch and a swim at Valley Cove before following the tide all of the way up Somes Sound. We drifted over to the float off Abel's as MYS owner Bob suggested, and were not disappointed. Per his guidance we were treated to a large seal lounging on the float while another played in the surrounding waters. Beautiful ride past Sargent Drive brought us back home. My wife and teen age boys were quite comfortable aboard the 22 foot center console. We started with 4 and ended with 5 after one of the boys swam aboard in Valley Cove. Plenty of room on cushioned seats. I have been coming to MDI for 20+ years and feel like I have kayaked every cove and hiked every ridge (I know I haven't). While I have plenty of open water experience in MA and FL, I have never had the right combination of time, tide, weather and crew to explore Great Harbor by boat. So glad that I did this time as it was a truly awesome way to enjoy the beauty of MDI. I will definitely do this again.

    I called to reserve a rental boat 24 hours in advance (as requested) and I received nothin but…read moreattitude on the phone. First of all, he never specified in the website that it was on the ocean, so when I informed him I was expecting to rent a boat on a lake, he just hung up on me. Prior to his rude disconnect, he was interrogating me on whether or not I knew any knowledge about boating and then wanted a background check on my experience. I understand this could be a liability to him, but there are more cordial, appropriate ways to conduct customer service. 100% would NOT recommend.
