Great Customer Service! So Wonderful and Kind. Thank you Big Mike for letting us use your Canoe!read more

I would never use this Kayak and Canoe service again…read more "Big Mike" was completely unprofessional and tardy. My large family group rented more Kayaks than we brought and as "Big Mike" refused to transport them with his trailer (even though there was Plenty of Room) the starting process took almost an hour and a half in it's self. He seems to be a lazy and completely unreliable person. I highly suggest not using this service.

My family decided to rent a pontoon boat on a beautiful weekend. The boat was very clean, in…read morepristine condition, and had an amazing rate! The staff inside were very helpful and kind, and the owner made sure that we had an amazing time. There were two girls at the end of the dock who seemed to be cleaning boats, as well as filling gas, who were also very caring and kind. When we returned our boat, we unfortunately witnessed a rude customer, and the girls handled to situation with kindness and confidence. They most definitely did not deserve to be treated like that, as this business has surpassed all boat rentals that I have used in the past, in every aspect. I will most definitely be using Brian's Lakeside Marina again! 20/10 experience! Thank you so much! -The Debbie

The young gentleman at the dock helped park when necessary and filled up the gas when needed. Came with a full tank of gas that lasted several rides over multiple days. There wasn't any extra rules or unexpected costs. I was happily surprised by the experience. Decent speakers and the radio supported Bluetooth. Just wish they had fishing electronics to locate those fish!

We were seated by the window so we were able to look out and enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Cadillac. Our service was great! Very nice and friendly. Nice quaint restaurant. Our food was delicious!

If I'm ever back in Cadillac, I will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

The most beautiful lake in the world. Torch Lake is the place to be!!! Crystal clear water that…read moregoes as far as the eye can see. Perfect for boats (sailboats included!), jet-skis, and swimmers. There's plenty of open water, as well as a sandbar for those looking for a more typical beach-vibe that has places to buy food and drinks. There's also convenient places to gas up boats located right on the lake. Truly, this lake is amazing. It can be a little chilly, which is to be expected. It's all natural! Of course the water will be cold from time to time :)

After a reoccurring issue with my boat he told me that "I am not a boat guy" which I don't understand.

Mind you I have paid these people over ten thousand dollars in 4 years.......I will never be back..Thanks for nothing!

We had a group of 14 do a rafting trip this weekend, aged 8-74. We did the 2-hour rafting trip…read more Based on the website description, this seemed to be ok. It was the most chaotic, stressful, dangerous thing we've done as a group. Do not do a rafting trip if you think you're going to have any time to enjoy the scenery, talk, or enjoy a family activity. The river was extra fast due to high water levels and there are constant obstacles to avoid. We are all lucky to have made it with only minor injuries. Way too many close calls. It was not just us that were not enjoying our time on the river. Every kayaker and tuber we encountered felt exactly the same way. Several said they'd been crying at times, it was so chaotic.
