    Excellent. The best way to sail. This will be our third year. I highly recommend this boat club.

    What an amazing place! How did I not ever know about this? It is free for entrance otherwise it's a…read morefive dollar visitor fee. If you wish to go to the main beach, that's an additional $12 if you are not a resident of Crystal Lake. The grounds are immaculate, very well maintained, and the bathrooms are clean. There are two lakes, multiple pavilions that you can rent ahead of time. Lots of picnic tables for you to sit down. Near the bar and grill while you can't go in the water, you can take your drink and sit on one of the cheers on the beach. You can watch people practice on their WaveRunner. Swing on the swings at the bar and listen to great music. I did not have any food here. I did have an amazing Mojito. The bartender was a young man looking to join the Barrington police force. Polite, kind and also had great customer service skills. The reason why I didn't give it five stars is that there are absolutely no markings anywhere as to what trail you are on, how long of a trail it is, and where there may be porta potties. There aren't any maps or QR codes and it was a bit confusing as I came upon several wise and the trail to decide which way to go as I had limited time there. Given the fact that everything is so nicely taken care of I don't know how they can't have at least some markings on the trails that they have there. One of the workers sent me direction and it literally just took me to a pavilion. They have kayaks, canoes, paddle boats and SUP boards. They also offer lessons for SUP depending on the day. Lots of people fishing. Amazing Place! Please add signage for the trails! The pop and water machine near the beach entrance did not work. Hopefully those are checked daily to repair.

    I recently moved to the area from Chicago and wanted to rent a boat. I saw some negative reviews,…read morebut I decided to give Jet Fun a chance because most people don't leave positive reviews. It's usually a disgruntled customer for one reason or another, so I gave them a chance, and I'm so happy that I did. Nancy and Kevin were wonderful. They had a full staff, and everyone was very helpful. As a first-time pontoon boat renter, I was very nervous, but the process was made easy. There was an informational video, as well as formal instructions from the staff, which helped me quickly learn how to operate the boat safely and confidently. With the guidance provided by both the video and the staff, I felt comfortable giving it a try, and it turned out to be a great experience. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend Jet Fun to anyone looking to rent a boat in the area.

    I've literally came here for years and year after year it's the same thing…read more.. The word luxury premium pontoon boat What you get : no working radio mold and nasty carpet non working gauges They will pretend you are getting a working radio etc until you get there and it's too late and you have a nice silent 10 person boat ride for the day Gas You will be charged for gas ... gas is available on the lake you can fill it yourself They will refuse you to not fill any gas that isn't them filling it and with not one single boat or ski in their inventory with a working gas gauge most people don't realize that these boats don't hold more than 10-15 gallons of gas but will tell you it holds a million dollars of gas and will charged you as much as they can without you thinking it's impossible Customer service the owner - Kevin is insane They will tell you you broke things you didn't or make up that your prop was damaged it's always something As much as this place could have been fun and nice it's always some big scam or hassle I've prolly rented 15-20 times in 12 years here and not one time has it been what it was suppose to be. Last time I tried to confirm my boat had a working radio made sure it was the best they had and then the bait and switch you pull up your friends look at you and are like are you serious you have broken gauges moldy carpet no working radios even tho you triple checked ahead of time and them smiling when you pull back up pretending like you burned 100 gallons of gas in your tiny pontoon yacht that has a 12 gallon tank - just save the hassle Not sure where I'm gonna go this year to rent but this place just isn't worth the nightmare the boats and skis are ancient nothing works how you gonna charge me for gas with no gas gauge and even try to play like the tank holds 200 in gas they are literally Crazyyyy don't walk away runnnnnnnnnnnnnn
