My father was boating alone on the North river last week, not in a rental boat but his own. He had…read moreanchored up and was fishing. It started raining, so he decided to leave, but could not get his motor started. He ended up pulling anchor and letting the current take him up the river trying to spot somebody to help him. He tried blowing his air horn a few times, but nobody heard or responded and it finally ran out of air. He drifted for quite a while, more than an hour, in heavy rain. When he finally drifted past Mary's he dropped the anchor and began waving his rain coat in the air to get somebody' attention. Somebody from Mary's took a skiff out to him and towed him all the way back to the boat launch on the South river. I am beyond grateful for the way they took care of him. He is in his 70's now, a former Navy guy, and somebody that always knew how to handle himself on the water. When they brought him back, he was cold and tired. I am so glad that the nice people there helped him out. He could have ended up with hypothermia very easily that day. On a side note, my dad and I used to rent boats from Mary's way back in the early 80's...they have been there a very long time and their rates are very reasonable. What impresses me most is how they treat people. They helped my dad out a lot. So much, that I decided I just had to write this review. Whoever it was that helped my Dad, Thank You!

Loved the new sail awning they put up a this summer. Made lunch much more enjoyable on a hot sunny day! Toddlers had a blast watching the boats coming in and out and the local teens jumping off of the bridge and it didn't matter when they spilled all over the floor. Bar is hidden to the left of the food station but keep looking til you find it. Bloody Mary was great and all other drinks were good too.

Captain Mark very aggressively demanded 20% tip on top of the kids camp fees which are quite…read moreexpensive. We were harassed 3 times regarding the tipping, and not in a nice way. We were finally ambushed on the last day of kids camp with Captain following my child to the car with demands of me to pay a 20% tip , and while we are always inclined to tip, this behavior by the captain is not acceptable and we won't be returning. Tips should be gratuitous not assumed. There was also the captain vaping in front of the children on the boat which is disturbing . There were reports of political stickers , stickers with guns, and another not to be mentioned sticker inside the boat that was not appropriate for children.

On the day of his trip as soon as I arrived, he was on time and ready to go. My boyfriend and his friends went on this trip coming back with dinner for weeks. They caught multiple of fishes in a variety of sizes. My boyfriend non stop talked about how his first boat charter experience was extremely a trip he would not forget.. it was at the point he was ready to book another one. Not only did they caught many fishes but Captain Josh was extremely friendly and made the whole crew really comfortable! I totally recommend and totally will book with Captain Josh again!

You cannot leave a voicemail as his mailbox is always full. I literally sent 14 texts with no replies. At 10pm the night before and 7 hours from departure, he texts to say that he got a splinter or something in his toe and was waiting at the ER for 3 hours. Ok, dude...well, if you were waiting for 3 hours then you could send a text saying you had to cancel, no?. So, I rescheduled. Same scenario. No communications. I called another phone number on the website and it was his brother (who is no longer affiliated and lives in Texas). He tells me to show up and his brother will meet us at 5am. We show up and guess what? He's not there! Surprise! I called him at 5:00am, 5:15am, 5:30am. Nothing. He calls me at 5:45am and says "Oh, I don't usually leave until 6am. I thought I called you". Wait, WHAT? Am I in the friggin Twilight Zone here?? You thought you called me?? GTFOH...Turns out that it was too windy to go fishing. That, and he said he didn't feel like going because his toe hurt. Ok, dude...Time to reschedule...again. I asked him why sometimes dates are blocked on the website and he says "because tourists suck". Nice. So here we are. Next trip coming up. Texted him to confirm. No response. I am shocked. Texted him to refund my deposit because let's face it...this dude sucks and I cannot believe he is still in business. Skipped the BS and called my bank to file a dispute. Moral of this story? Save yourself from the same torture and book a charter from a reputable business...this guy is a joke.

Bottom line is in the Marine industry, many shops don't really care about the smaller boats because they don't make as much $$$ on us. Jesse's Marine seems to care about every customer that walks through the door. HIGHLY recomended.
