Rented a pontoon on Lake Geneva recently, and it was a lovely experience!…read more Elmers was super easy to connect with. I originally meant to book online, as the portal was easy and straightforward, but we weren't sure the time that worked best for us until the day arrived. So instead, we were able to walk right up to the stand and get booked in. I should preface that this was a Wednesday afternoon, so it wasn't busy. I'd imagine on weekends and in the height of summer you'd want to book/reserve in advance. My dad, a long-time boat owner, took on driving responsibilities. He was given all of the instructions and boat details during a 10-15 min intro from one of the boat workers, who are all teenagers I might add. And I don't mean that in a bad way - they were all super friendly and clearly knew what they were doing. We took our the 'Select Tritoon' boat which was very spacious. I believe it could fit up to 10 people, and we had 8 (2 being small kiddos), so we had plenty of room. It even had high-top, bar-like seating in the middle section which was cool. I'll note as well that the kids are or course required to wear life vests, which were provided to us. They offered a few different sized until we could find the right fit. My only feedback is that I think $500 for 2 hours is steep. Maybe it's because of the area? In Milwaukee, we've rented pontoons for half the price, but double the time. All in all, still a great experience. Definitely rec for visitors.
