It's 83 acres of beautiful scenery, crystal clear water fed from an underground spring, so yesterday's water temperature was 80°. The depth varies from just 4 feet to 60 feet. There is always a slight breeze in the air, which is great for keeping away the mosquitoes. I visited for two days and saw boating, swimming, fishing, and paddle board activity. Fishing here might net you a Panfish, Largemouth Bass or a Northern Pike. Most of the lakefront properties include private docks, but there is a public access dock as well. Just gorgeous!

After moving to Lake Geneva I realized quickly that we needed to get out on the water. I reached…read moreout to a couple of places and the owner of Geneva Cruises (Thomas) responded quickly to set up a sunset cruise on Lake Geneva. We talked on the phone and were able to set up a time for our boat cruise. Meeting at the Riviera dock was easy (he called prior to let us know what he was wearing and what the boat looked like so it was easy to spot him). The boat ride was so enjoyable! We brought some snacks and wine to enjoy while we learned more about Lake Geneva and the houses in the area. The sunset was pretty spectacular too! Thanks Capt Thom! I look forward to another boat ride in the future.

We cruised around, toured the lake, and even got to float off the boat in the water! We could not recommend him enough! If we are ever back, we would love to take another trip with him! Thanks for a great day, Captain!

After renting a slip from them for five years, we decided to keep our boat on the river. We asked…read morethem repeatedly to move our lift to the new address. After five weeks, the floor waters came and it was impossible to move the lift. But the problem was the lift was lying on the shore line at the marina when the waters rose. They left it there for weeks while the waters receded but the lift was caked with mud and debris and that's how they moved the lift. I asked them to power wash it, because they left it there, but they said it was at our expense!! Who does business like this?? There are other businesses that are out there that can provide good service and are happy to do so. Not ever going back for anything!

I called to ask about progress in December, January & February. I was told everything was right on schedule. They would get the dock and lift back in when the weather got right. I inquired about the welding and was told each time that the boat was going to the welder soon. Get to April, they put the dock back in but can't put the lift back in because they lost parts to it when they took it apart in the fall. As of Memorial Day they still hadn't sent the boat to the welder. These folks are incapable of performing their job. Truly unfortunate since they certainly don't work cheap. I will NEVER be back.

Brittingham Boats has been one of my favorite summer traditions for years. I drive from the…read moreMilwaukee area at least once every summer specifically to kayak here, and I've always loved the whole experience. They offer kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and pedal boats, plus a beach for swimming. There's a cute little snack shop with really yummy grilled cheese sandwiches and beverages, T-shirts for sale, and a deck with tables and chairs, plus chaise lounges where you can relax in the sun. They also offer special events like burgers on the bay, where you kayak out to a pontoon boat where they're grilling burgers and other special event events throughout the summer. One of the things that makes this spot so special is the location. Brittingham Boats sits on Lake Monona, just west of John Nolen Drive, with largest section of Lake Monona and the Monona Terrace on the other side of the drive. In a normal summer, one of my favorite paddles is heading east, under the railroad bridge and John Nolen Drive, and out onto Lake Monona. From there, you can paddle along the shoreline and hang out near Monona Terrace, enjoying the views, watching the other kayakers and boaters, and even spotting plenty of open-water swimmers--many of whom I imagine are training for IRONMAN Wisconsin, held right here every September. There are also several different routes available depending on how far you want to explore, including paddles that can take you toward Lake Mendota and Lake Wingra, as well as routes in the direction of Olbrich Botanical Gardens and other scenic areas around Madison. **A note for summer 2026:** construction along John Nolen Drive appears to have interrupted that usual route, and I don't believe you can currently paddle through to Lake Monona. When I got there last Friday the weather turned and I didn't go out but from the looks of the construction going on, you can't get under John Nolan Drive Here's why I was especially disappointed when I visited last Friday, for the first time this year. Unfortunately, the property looked tired and neglected. It felt as though it had been opened for the season but hadn't received cleaning-just opened the doors--areas needed sweeping, weeds and landscaping needed trimming, cobwebs needed removing, and several things could really benefit from cleaning, fresh paint and general maintenance. The bathrooms were especially disappointing. They were very rundown and so wet that I honestly didn't want to touch anything. I'm sharing this because I really DO love this place and want to continue coming back. Brittingham Boats has so much going for it--the location, the activities and the atmosphere are wonderful. I just hope some time, attention and investment can be put into cleaning up and refreshing the place. A little TLC would go a very long way toward bringing back the charming place I've enjoyed making a special trip to visit every summer.

Just purchased a new Bennington Pontoon from Quam's Motorsports in Stoughton, Wisconsin. This is a…read morefamily owned dealership that delivered an awesome purchase experience. We're new to boating and they made it as smooth as could be. John Quam was there from the beginning and has been there even after the purchase. He personally delivered our boat to Lake Waubesa on his own truck, spent an hour on the lake, showing us all the ins and outs of our new boat. Even though we had ordered our new boat at the busiest possible time, John went out of his way to get us our boat ready for the big Memorial Day weekend. He kept me in the loop, even sending me an email (3.5 hours after they closed) to let me know that they had just completed getting the boat prep'd and it would be ready for delivery the following day! We were thrilled to be able to enjoy our boat for the weekend. After driving our boat, we started getting a warning alarm on our motor. John sent one of his techs right to our dock to diagnose the problem. With no luck, John personally came and picked up our boat and took it to the shop. Turned out to just be weeds in the water intake. After fixing it and a few other minor issues, he personally delivered the boat after they closed. Now that's service! I can't provide a more positive recommendation for anyone looking to buy a new or new to them boat. You just don't find this kind of service these days and when you do, you want to tell people!

I don't normally write a review on businesses but this time it really is ridiculous not to!…read more We bought a used boat at Quam's mid August. The staff made arrangements to meet us before normal hours on a Saturday in order to get us out on the water in the boat before signing papers. However, there was a hiccup with the battery on that morning. The guys put in a new battery that morning and it started right up. To make a long story short, switching the battery was not the solution. We stalled on the water twice after putting the boat on the water at home. However, after contacting Roy Quam the first time, we took the boat back and work was done on the issue. Next week, we got the boat back, and, on the lake the next day, motor stalled again. I was really upset with the boat to say the least! I said I wanted a different boat and Roy understood completely. If we wanted another boat, they were willing to credit us the full purchase price towards another boat. However Roy stated that he was confident that they could fix whatever the wiring issue was happening on the Ranger. We agreed to try to have the issue fixed. Roy made arrangements to come pick up the boat this time so they could get working on the problem right away and we could get the boat back sooner, ( We live an hour and fifteen minutes away from Quam's.) I appreciated that and was really surprised that he did this. After working on the boat for two weeks, we think the issue is fixed but have only had the boat out once since getting it back. I am happy to say that the motor never stalled on this outing. We did have one minor glitch but Roy said to keep him posted on the issue in case it happens again. I haven't experienced customer service like this in a very long time! On a purchase like this, your heart sinks when you have problems immediately. My husband and I have been pleasantly surprised by the loyalty to their customers and their products that Quam's has shown us repeatedly. We are very glad we bought our boat at this dealership and would/will buy there again without hesitation!

I wish I had read reviews before renting here because our experience on the 4th of July was almost…read moreidentical to one posted previously, even though it was written over three years ago. Seeing the exact same sequence of events years later makes it hard to believe this is an isolated incident. Before we left, the young employees had us inspect the exterior of the boat for paint chips, scratches, and dents. However, no one ever raised the motor or showed us the condition of the propeller before we left. Looking back, that seems like a critical part of the inspection that was conveniently skipped. We also specifically asked one of the employees if there were any shallow areas or places on the lake we needed to avoid. He told us there were not, and we stayed in water that was consistently around 9-10 feet deep or more the entire day, we never struck anything and never experienced any impact that would suggest damage to the propeller. The moment we returned to the dock (before we had even gotten off the boat) an employee walked straight to the motor, raised the propeller, and immediately claimed we had damaged it. It felt like he already knew exactly what he was going to find before he even looked. The propeller itself had severe damage to every blade, as though it had gone through a rock bed. Yet the bottom of the boat and the lower unit showed no corresponding damage. Common sense says that if we had hit something hard enough to destroy every blade of the propeller, you would expect to see damage elsewhere on the boat as well. We never hit anything, and nothing about our day on the water matched the type of damage they claimed we caused. When we questioned this, we were told we "should have noticed the damage before leaving." That makes no sense. The propeller was submerged in the water, tucked underneath the boat, and it was dark-colored. There was no practical way for us to inspect it because they never lifted the motor or pointed it out during the pre-rental walkthrough. Instead, they only had us look for scratches, dents, and paint chips on the visible exterior of the boat. To make matters worse, the manager yelled at us in front of all of the young employees instead of handling the situation professionally. Then came the payment. We were first told we owed $500 for the damage. When my brother-in-law, who has boating experience, questioned that amount and pointed out that a propeller doesn't cost anywhere near $500, the charge immediately dropped to $125. The fact that the amount changed so quickly after being challenged only made the entire situation seem even more questionable. I will also note that we were a family of 6 adults and a 2 year old, not a bunch of young people being irresponsible. After reading the attached review describing nearly the exact same experience years earlier, it's difficult not to see a pattern. There are plenty of reputable boat rental companies around Lake Geneva that operate transparently and treat customers with respect. I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. What should have been an unforgettable Fourth of July on the lake ended with accusations and a dispute over damage that we did not cause. We will never rent from this company again.
