We paddled from Black Miners Bar to the Folsom Prison water boundary ("the wire") and back. The round trip was about 5 miles and took us around 2 hours at a moderate pace. One nice surprise is that if you return your kayak before your reserved rental time ends, they refund you for the unused time.

Two young gentlemen who lacked any sort of customer experience skills - summer job I guess. Walked to the beach, pushed the kayak to the waters each and walked away - not a word otherwise. Seems departing and returning we were interrupting their life cream eating. Far cry from the customer service experience at the Aquatics Center. I get it - it's just a kayak rental but come on show a little life!!

This owner told me that there's nothing to do about it and it's normal. Many people in my group had a similar experience, which was comforting because I wasn't the only person who had such a negative experience, but I think it's unfortunate that this business owner has such a bad rep. The woman Penny was kind and helpful though. I just feel bad she has to work for such a Scrooge. You would think someone who is outfitting people for the river would be more go with the flow and pleasant.

I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The kayak that was advertised wasn't available in the color I wanted. They were willing to drive to the warehouse and get the one I wanted. As I looked at the huge selection they had, the salesman answered all my questions. Ended up leaving with a Hobie, at an unbelievable price. Seriously. Try to beat their prices. Very positive experience. I was on Lake Natoma with it right after leaving the shop.

Caution!!! Safety issues! This is the worst overall…read moreexperience, buy elsewhere if possible. I've never left a bad review until now. I should be getting a refund for these items. Don't waste your time and money. Very disappointed in the quality of service and installation from Kayak City. The guys that work there are nice, but they don't know what they are doing and are creating safety hazards for their customers. We bought 2 high end kayaks, motors, fish finders, lithium ion battery, a Yakima trailer, and all the accessories. We spent over $25k We were expecting to have them put some time into their work. First they offered to install the batteries on each kayak for another $1,000 for each kayak . Don't pay for this, it's 2 wires and you can do this yourself, like we did. This will probably take you 1 hour to install and waterproof silicone seal. Most items are plug and play now, don't waste your money for a crappy installation job. Glad we didn't pay for this and did it at home. considering the shoddy work they performed on everything else this would have probably turned into a fire hazard out on the water. We realize now, the Yakima Big Catch saddles they sold us (2 sets) and they are rated for 150 lbs, the kayaks they sold us are 155 lbs dry (without 2 batteries, fish finder, fishing tackle and gear). They sold us these knowing they were overrated for the saddles. The trailer they sold us is great (Yakima lowrider), but they didn't install the tires and rims or tighten down all the bolts (crossbars) correctly and we had to drive 2+ hours there and back (5 extra hours) to get it repaired. The lug nuts were not tight and entirely damaged the rim on day one. We were lucky we didn't lose a tire on the 2+ hour on the drive home. This is a safety hazard, you need to check their work, because they don't. If you can buy your kayak and gear elsewhere you should. Spend your money where you're appreciated and where you won't get into an accident or unexpected emergency. I haven't been this disappointed in service in a very long time. This place needs to take their work seriously. Just because you're the only place in town, doesn't mean you should take advantage of your customers. If I could go back in time I would have purchased my kayaks anywhere else but here.

***WARNING***DON'T***GET***RIPPED***OFF*** Ok so I'll…read moreStart with What we Purchased and what we wanted and was supposed to receive and did not receive and why I warn you about getting ripped off. We came to Brothers boats because they were one of the few new Crestliner Dealers around and we wanted a new boat for Multi Species fishing vessel because we Fish mostly the Ca Delta for Black Bass, Striper, Sturgeons and Salmon, But predominantly Black Bass because I am a Tournament Angler that focuses on Black Bass and I Fish at least 1-2 Tournaments each month all over California and other States as well. So we decided to go with The Crestliner 1950 Fish Hawk with a Mercury 175 Verado that runs great so far tops out at around 45mph fully loaded wish it was faster so I should of went Bigger on the motor maybe but after all my Add ones for electronics and all that I was already sitting at almost $70K which is already nuts but this was going to be the Last Fishing Boat I would ever own My retirement present to myself, I've never owned anything like it before I was so happy and couldn't wait. And this is where it all goes down hill from here. I wanted all the top of the line Electronics on the market and It all to pair up to my 36v 112 Minnkota Ultrex with the iPilot capabilities so I went with a (Humminbird Helix G3N 12 Mega + Si) at the console and a (Humminbird Helix G3N 12 Mega + DI) at the Bow upfront with the trolling Ultrex Trolling motor that was supposed to also have the built in Mega + transducer & when the boat was all finally finished we noticed tons of issues. (1.) The Humminbird Helix 12 at the console was not Side Imagine not even Down imagine it was a G1N the oldest and the cheapest and only had gps and 2D capabilities even though they charged us almost $3000 for it and a hefty install fee even though it was the wrong one and they only sell for barely $1k even cheaper now. (2.) Same issue with Humminbird at the Bow the gave us an old Gen 1 model with only 2D Capabilities but yet charged us for the most expensive models on the market so they ripped us for over $3000 at least on those alone. (3.) Trolling motor Was also Gen 1 that only had the old 2D transducer & not the new Mega built in transducer like it was supposed to be. (3.) They didnt network all the electronics together with the iPilot system at all even though we were charged for it & had to pay extra on our own and did it myself, again even though this was all in the final price with all my add-ons. (4.) Never installed the new Mercury Smart Craft Vessel View which was supposed to be installed, so we can't see how many hours is on the boat or anything else, so again this is another added expense we will have to do on our own if we want it even though it was added and charged for. (5.) Bluetooth Stereo never worked & even after multiple repairs never fully fixed still shorts out probably because of inexperienced installation job or installer they have. (6.) Wash Down System Never worked. (7.) Large Livewell insulation falling apart before ever used. (8.) Terrible Installation job on just about everything they touched there at Brothers boats wires are all Clumped up and not cleanly hid away. In my own opinion I think these guys don't know much about Fishing boats and maybe they only focus more on recreational Ski boats Tow boats and such but I still wouldn't trust them on those either at this point because as of today they finally took back 1 of the Humminbirds and gave us a G2N DI Mega which is still not the correct one but they obviously knew they messed up and got all the wrong electronics I they upgraded 1 of them but not even to the correct upgrade we originally wanted and paid for and we still have the old model trolling motor and the wrong Humminbird at the bow. I just wanted what we paid for and originally asked for that's it even though they over charged for everything and charged install fees for stuff they never even installed and charged us for the Latest premium top electronics but gave us the oldest cheapest models available. Now I'm not sure if all this happened because they were scamming us from the get go or trying to over charge and take advantage of us, or if it's just because they have Zero to no knowledge about fishing boats and the electronics that go along with them but they even told me personally that they have never installed Humminbird electronics before that the only depth finders and gps sonar units they have ever installed before was Lowrance units which is strange to hear from a Dealer of Aluminum fishing vessels since Humminbird is one of the most popular electronic system on the market. So until my vessel is corrected and fixed how it was supposed to be I will not be promoting this Dealer but the exact opposite and I will be doing my best to detour business and help someone from making the same mistake of getting scammed or ripped off by this Dealer. So do yourself a favor and steer clear.

Took 10 days to get an exaggerated price from them. We got…read moretired of waiting and went to San Diego and cut a deal and ordered a new boat with a different dealer in about 45 minutes from the time we stepped in the door. Finally,,, Brothers eventually responded with a fuzzy, over the edge price. Brothers were $40.000 to $50.000 higher than other dealers and had no clue on the options nor how to set the boat up. Their heart just isn't in it. Brothers wants to sell out of their lot weary and dated, depleted dealer stock. Forget ordering the boat ya want the way ya want it, it'll never happen with Brothers Boats. The boat we wanted is an all new design. The only way to get one is to order one from the factory. Our new cruiser will be delivered in early May at $50.000 cheaper than Brothers wanted.
