My friends and I have been going on a lake excursion every year, and Paradise Rental Boats is who…read morewe trust. We have rented both a pontoon boat and one with a slide and all of their boats are kept up to standard and are clean. The person who drives the boat is required to take a test and know boat safety before getting in the water. We rented a pontoon boat from 11 am to 5 pm and was $550 plus gas consumption. They do get really busy and packed, so parking could be an issue. The walk from parking to where you check in is quite hilly, so keep this in mind when bringing children/elders. There's even a place where you can inflate your floaties to enjoy the lake better!

Pro Tips: 1. Reserve a time for a weekday to save some…read moredollars. 2. Upgrade to the destination yacht with the bar instead of the enclosed room. 3. Ask for a USB converter if needed to charge your phone on board the boat. 4. If gas money is a concern, just take your party boat to the nearest cove and anchor in. We paid only $10 for gas for four hours that way. 5. Take the driver's test online before boat day. Doing it on site, last minute, is so stressful. 6. Be aware that they will require a $500 deposit on site that you will be refunded later if all goes well. Bring your ID. 7. BYO trash bag, Lysol or baby wipes, and paper towels. 8. Connect your phone to the speaker system via Bluetooth. Ask for instructions before your leave the dock. 9. The store on site has all your essentials for reasonable prices. 10. Have the best day ever!

I travel a lot for work and personal.... if there's one thing I know, it's how things need to be done & organized. My expectations of service and clientele are high and if I don't like something, trust me, I'm the first to say something. In saying this, ODW has exceeded my expectations. Every trip is better than the last. Love that discounted group flights are available, exclusions are included and most of all, that the business is done with integrity. The group is equipped with: Party promoter, travel agent, DJ, photographer/ videographer, merchandise designer & emcee. They come on every trip to ensure everyone is outfitted, informed , everything goes smoothly and everyone has a great time. Those in the group are kumbaya. They've eliminated the fear of traveling alone or not knowing anyone... by the end of the trip, you not only know people like family, you have inside jokes. This is a safe group. It's a family environment and those brining good vibes. This group is all inclusive: from old to young, single to married, introverted to extroverted, all races/ethnicities. If you want to see the world, try new foods, laugh & have a good time and shake your bonbon a little, this group is for you.

I witnessed the compassion they put into making this exactly what the title of the business is...ONE DOPE WEEKEND! I plan to travel again with them in the future because they became more than a client/business relationship, they became family!

I booked about a month in advance for rental on Saturday from 11am-7pm. My rental for a 12 seater was $484 after taxes and fees and then $13 for gas at the end. The boat was large with half shaded and half in the sun. There was ample storage space for coolers and personal items. There's also a Bluetooth speaker that worked perfectly that we used to play music all day. Be sure to bring a cooler, trash bags, and a phone charger. They came in handy! They also have half day rentals and lower fares during off season. Be sure to take the online safety course before you arrive so you can do a quick safety review and boat walk through(we videotaped ours) before heading out. The staff were very helpful for any questions or suggestions on where to go.

The boats were great and when we had an issue, they reacted and made it right. This is the biggest reason I gave them a full 5 stars rather than just four. Originally I had thought to give them 4 because of the issue with our boat, but you learn a lot about a company when they face adversity. When the boat we had rented kept stalling, they got us onto another boat ASAP and we had a great day. I'd recommend this marina and plan to go out there again soon!
