Tim was very sweet with our kids, keeping them safe, but also entertained. We wanted a short tour around the highlights of the lake, and we wanted to spend a little time swimming and tubing- we did all of this and truly enjoyed our time. Tim is an excellent captain and Bolton Boat tours is a world class company ! Definitely recommend!!! We noticed Tim taking out a bachelorette party after our trip- so it is the perfect choice, no matter the occasion !

This place is nothing but a bait and switch! I purchased a Monterey M6 which by the way has been…read moreturning out to be nothing but garbage! Do not buy a Monterey product. They will not warranty anything and utilize more fine print than you can imagine. I was sold this boat with a 7 year bow to stern warranty which I was told covered everything for 7 years. Being new to boating I trusted the Brodies (Owners of Yankee Boating) First they ordered me the wrong boat! Interior wrong, helm wrong, all electronics wrong. Mind you it was delivered begging of boating season so obviously not being happy I didn't want the wrong boat, the deal was I would sign papers on this boat start making payments and use it and they would order the new one for the next year! Next year comes new boat is late and in the body shop for a problem with the decals. Get the boat first couple years are ok little issues become bigger issues but I don't want to be without boat till end of the season so I compile all issues after 4yrs and in October 2024 contact Josh In The service dept and says send me pics I will contact Monterey and we will take care of issues. So after 5 months of no communication I called and he said we haven't heard back I'll call you Monday (3days later) and of course nothing. So 2 weeks later I go in and Charlie who was not very nice either I think because I bothered him on lunch said Josh was on lunch looked it up and said I don't see anything he will call you today I promise.lol Yeah a week and a half later Josh calls me and says all warranty has been declined there is nothing we can do!! Not happy I say have Andrew Brodie call me (the owner). In the mean time I call Monterey and the guy says none of these thing are covered and the 7 year total warranty was nothing what I was sold when I bought the boat! Here are issues. Sea Deck is pulling up everywhere, all of the hinges on everything that opens on the boat are litterally falling apart. Gel coat is cracking everywhere! And the 5k touchscreen helm option is delaminating and coming apart. It clearly says on the bs 7 yr warranty and issues w engine instrumentation is covered. He said well I was the one who declined warranty and Yankee never even sent pictures of the screen! I said well I have them I will send them to you and he would not take them from me said they had to come from dealer. He then asked if it worked I said yes but falling apart and I have to keep it covered so it doesn't get wet and he said well it works so not warranting it. So obviously frustrated I hang up and wait for Andrew Brodie to call me because to this point thought we had a great relationship in me buying a over $100k bought and paying it right off, he will surely take care of this situation. Get the call from him days later and he says well warranty is black and white nothing that we could do!?!? What???? You and your brother told me this 7 yr warranty covered everything!!! He says no not everything then the slime ball salesmen the REAL Andrew Brodie comes out and starts reading all the fine print and picks the warranty claim apart and I say this has been going on for years and when I called service to complain was told compile the problems we will take care of it over winter here we are because all of the fine print warranty has passed. So bottom line in my dealings with Yankee Boating,Monterey, and Andrew Brodie watch out he is that slimy used car salesmen that your parents warned you about when you were a kid selling you a Monterey product that truly is garbage and both him and the manufacturer know it and run the fine print game better than anyone in the business!

Our pontoon was clean and spacious - very roomy and comfortable for 4 adults and 2 kids. The boat attendant was really friendly and helpful, ensuring that we got on and off okay and there to answer any questions! We also priced out Chic's and found the pricing here to be a bit more fair. This was a wonderful experience and we will rent here again next year when we come back to Bolton.

July 3rd afternoon - picked up the boat - not much of a choice at this point. July 4th - tape came off and siding part bent out while we are on the water. Captain Bob refused to fix it - too busy, not enough workers, etc. July 5th - steering cable broke. Lost half a day - the boat had to be towed back for repairs. We were temporary given another boat to come back later same day to pick up the broken one. Captain Bob was not able to complete the repair and gave us yet another boat - another hour wasted. July 6th - Captain Bob charged our credit card for additional $2700 for the repairs of taped up siding and some new dent he claims he found on the railing. When questioned - he cursed us out and called us the abusers of his boat and that he never wanted to see us again. Also threatened to sue us if we dispute the charges. Seen some similar reviews - looks like Captain Bob runs this scheme on a regular basis. STAY AWAY !!!

We reserved for the day a ten-person capacity pontoon boat at Chic's Marina a few weeks prior to…read moreour visit to Lake George. When we arrived, we found parking to be a challenge. Marina was busy since we visited in the busy summer months. The staff were truly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The boats from what I can tell in excellent working conditions and prices are reasonable for a popular resort town. Since we were staying at the Sagamore Resort, if anyone of our group was motion sick, we could easily drop them off. We had a full day of fun which included tubing, swimming, and lakeside restaurant dining. A message to others that rent a boat from Chric's Marina. Be sure that your area is attentive to all the contractual commitments before signing. We were uncertain about the weather before, the day of our rental since it was raining slightly. But fortunately, it was the best day of the week. Canceling for rainy weather may not be an option.

Our trailer may have been slightly hanging over a driveway by a few inches, but we were dealing with a 26-foot vehicle plus trailer in a tight area and did our best to park as instructed. Instead of handling it professionally, a gentleman in a red pickup truck approached us aggressively, cursed at me, repeatedly told us we were "done," and said our trip would be over before it started. This all happened in front of another employee. I moved the vehicle as directed and did not escalate, but the interaction left a very uneasy feeling. It was the complete opposite of customer service, and based on that experience, I would never do business with Chic's Marina again.
