You guys are lucky to have her and she can't be a day over 30 so if you want to keep her til she's 35 and beyond, don't be cheap when the time for raises or bonuses comes around! I don't often write reviews and I definitely don't make sure I post them in multiple places but after our family stay at the Lake Naciamento Resort, not only am I doing both,I'll be singing their praises to anyone who will listen for a long time. I was coming to the area to work over the weekend but we made a last minute decision to bring the family and make a little vacation out of it. We must have called a million times with a million different questions and honestly I felt so unorganized and like a pain in the (you know what) but the staff, especially GM Layla Decker, made us feel like family and I commend them all for having the patience of a 1,000 saints. By the time we arrived we felt like we already knew Layla and her staff thanks to a million phone calls. I cannot begin to say just how helpful they were. Not only did they answer all our questions and calls but they went above and beyond and called me to advise how the foggy weather could affect my early morning departures for work as I'm unfamiliar with the resort. To say we are sad to leave after such a wonderful experience is the understatement of the year. It was such a great feeling leaving for work knowing my family was there in such wonderful and helpful hands while I was away. Thank you, Lake Naciamento, Resort! We'll be back!!! P.S. there are many amazing things to say about the resort itself and the area but we were blown away by the staff and their hospitality so I focused on that for this review.

The few staff we interacted with were helpful, one at the gate gave us a map of the resort and one at the A-frame administrative building told us where to start from where we parked.

Lovely day at Morro Bay with this boat ride being a real highlight. We had a group of 10 (including…read more2 children) and there was plenty of space on the boat. We had a morning rental for 2 hours, which I think was more than enough to make a few loops around the bay. The staff member was very courteous and thorough with taking us through how to operate the boat, restrictions on where to go, and making sure we had everything (even provided blankets since it was an overcast day). The boat is easy to handle, and it's pretty easy to follow where you're allowed to go. We saw plenty of wildlife - sea lions, birds, and best of all otters, including a mom and her pup swimming exactly at the boat dock. There is street parking right in front, and a hotel bathroom in the same building. They also provide binoculars for close up viewing. A good way to explore more of Morro Bay!

I really appreciated that he showed both the positives and any scuffs or scratches. It gave us a lot of confidence going into the purchase. During the demo, he took the time to walk us through everything and made sure we understood how to use the boat properly. As first-time boat buyers, that meant a lot. Overall, Eddie and the VS Marine team made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend working with them.

I traveled here in spring, so I don't know what summer bookings look like. The ride is about an hour long. We went on the booze Tiki cruise. The drinks were rather large. They offered two sizes, we got the smaller size and that was perfect for me. I was super excited that I was able to bring my dog! I paid for my 2 dogs, I only brought on (the other is 18 and he had been out all day, he was asleep in his kennel). They don't do Refunds, but I was supposed to get a drink pass, but I don't think I did? I didn't realize until way later, though. There was also a goat on the cruise! I like to call it, "The Story of a Dog, a Goat and a Boat". I think the boat only held about 22 or 24 people. It wasn't super cold on the boat. We were pretty shielded. Remember, people might be drinking, so it can get loud! I'm giving them 5 stars just on the fact that I could bring my dog! I can't say that she loved it (she was scared, she had never been on a boat before), but thank you for a fun experience.

Fantastic Experience - Highly Recommend!…read more We just had an amazing time on Lake Nacimiento thanks to SBR Rentals! From the rental process, making sure we had the boat that fit our needs, to the check in/check out, all the interactions were friendly, professional, and super helpful. The check-in process was quick and smooth, and they made sure we were fully comfortable with the boat before heading out. They were also very responsive when we had questions! The boat itself was in excellent condition--clean, well-maintained, and easy to operate. Definitely an added bonus that they had wakeboards and life vests for different sizes. The tube was a huge hit! What really stood out was the customer service. Mikey was amazing at the dock and even gave us tips on the best spots to wakeboard, tube, anchor and swim. We'll definitely be renting from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and stress-free day on the water! Thank you for an awesome experience!

Overall, this was a wonderful experience…read more It was scary in the beginning because the waves were a little rough. We sat in the front and experienced "flying boat" - as in the boat was rocking so hard it left the water for a bit. Lesson learned for me - in choppy weather make sure to always ride in the back. The Captain was extremely knowledgeable and customer service was flawless. He knew the ocean very well. When he realized we were getting pretty nervous he made sure that the boat stayed in a position that limited the rocking. He kept checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. We saw whales, otters, birds, sea lions, and porpoises. It was amazing seeing them in the wild and they were beautiful. Make sure to dress in layers. It was cold in the beginning but warmer when we were heading back to the dock.

He is dedicated to making sure you make the most of your time and I am so glad we went again with another part of our family.

Mark is full of interesting ocean and history facts and you and your family will not only have an incredible experience but you'll learn something to take with you the rest of your life.

They also give you a little Bluetooth speaker for music. If you have kids they give you life jackets. The boat itself I believe fits 7-8 people. They also encourage you to bring food and just relax. The area isn't to big so I didn't think we'd use the whole 1 hour. We actually did because my boys enjoyed it so much. We all really loved that we got to see the sea otters and seals a little closer than usual. The scenery is beautiful as well. Not to many people in the mornings and the sun is as out in full affect. A great time was had. Anyone wanting to try but nervous the boat might be hard to drive it wasn't. The guy helping us compared it to driving a golf cart. Very easy to drive and the ride was smooth. Highly suggest them if you're in the area.

Captain Stew's was a fun boat cruise that got our family up close to the resident sea otters…read more Their promotion is $10 bay cruises ( 5 for kids). True to it's name, if you have the cash you have a seat. To begin your voyage you and your group gather outside Captain Stew's office on the wharf. For all intents and purposes his office is really just a door with a grease penned phone number on it. Apparently you call the number and some person tells you to wait for the boat to show up. We just waited outside his door and walked right on board when he landed at the dock. No reservation needed. The tour is about 45 minutes, blankets and binoculars are there for your use. The captain does a good job with facts about the bay while trying his best not to hit the many kayaks that are tootling around. You'll probably see at least fifty sea otters as they're everywhere in the Bay. There's one other stop the boat makes on this trip and that's to pick up more/drop off passengers on the other end of the wharf. - Kids get a free stuffed fish - Yes, that's a Budweiser sign above the Captain's office door.. - There are several negative reviews for this tour, mostly along the lines of cancelled reservations. Look, would you trust a pirate with a reservation? Probably not, so just show up and if he's sailing that day have fun...If not, there are other outfits you can check out.. -Recommended
