If you are traveling to Smith Mt Lake, there is a strong chance you will drive by or gas up at the…read moreVA Dare Marina. This is a fun location with several businesses: Virginia Dare Cruises: If you are going to take a tour, you might as well include food ($40 with, $25 without). The trip covers interesting areas around the lake. If I did this again, I would chose Mother's Day or Pirate's Day for fun. The park staffers also join one of the tours to share information about nature and wildlife (you can also get that information at the state park, but it is fun on the boat). Virginia Dare Marina: If you need gas, expect to pump it yourself. There aren't any employees to help tie your boat, so make sure you have someone with you. The area is small and a little tricky to maneuver if it is crowded. Marina store: If you want Great Lake souvenirs, I would go to the shops at Bridgewater Plaza (they have staff at the gas pumps too). The Marina store has limited items. Portside Grill and Bar: You can have breakfast or lunch in your bathing suit. The food is almost like camping with a grill, but it is decent casual grub. Breakfast is around $8 and lunch is approximately $12. Sides are cheap. If you want more space, visit Mangos.

Do not rent from this place! My son and his wife came to visit me for the first time in 2 years…read morefrom out west. I rented a wakeboard boat which I paid for months in advance and then they were unable to deliver a boat with gauges that worked. I said I did not want a boat without gauges and they still charge me over $4200 for nothing! They are horrible people who will steal your money and won't deliver anything. BE FORWARNED!!

Five stars for SML boat rental. We were able to rent a brand new Tritoon boat for our lake trip and…read moreit was a fantastic experience working with SML. They were very through making sure you are comfortable to operate the boat and have all the supplies and accessories you need for a fun day on the water. All folks were very polite and helpful. I will definitely come back!!!

Wow what a surprise! The fish here are INSANE. I'm shocked I never heard of this place. Yeah it's a…read morenice little gas stop/bite to eat, but I was not expecting there to be basically a fish pool here. You can purchase popcorn and other snacks for the fish to eat, then all you have to do from there is put your feet in the water and wait. The fish will nibble on your toes (no worries - it doesn't hurt) and almost jump out of the water for food. Don't pick up the fish or hurt them please. And watch your kids while they're feeding them.

May want to also consider charging less for gas than your full service competitors that are right around the corner. Gas here was at least$0.50 more a gallon than their full service competitors. I'm sure that equates to extra profit from their boat rental customers that don't know any better. We will only be back if it's our only option.
