We have been renting houseboats from 7 Points Marina since 2004 and just finished our 21st trip with them in July 2026. The only years we didn't make it was the year I was pregnant with our youngest daughter and 1 year for COVID. Let me address some other issues I have read in these reviews which I found mind blowing and misleading. 1.) Bugs -- You are renting a houseboat that is outside 24/7. Once you cleat into any spot on the lake the bugs just naturally come on board. In all the years we have rented there have never been bed bugs. You are communing with nature and if you do not like bugs than you should try something else. The crew do there best to keep the bugs away but again you are out in elements. 2.) Fee, etc. -- Many are accusing them of price gouging or hidden fees. Well, I will agree some fees are strange but one all the fees are listed on their website, two there are some fees that are due to Pennsylvania entertainment taxes and now even an insurance fee. Why the insurance fee? Because many renters think they can navigate these boats or do not fully listen to the instructions and damages happen. I can remember a day when boaters were allowed to drive the boats out of the marina but due to too many incidents they had to stop. Make sure to read all the pages on the website. 3.) Fuel & Generator Gas -- This truly depends on the people renting the boat. Their gas prices truly do correlate with the gas prices in town. If you spend your days with the air on and driving around you will use more gas. When we go we drive with the doors open and only use the air when truly needed. Our trip in July we actually had the heat on more than the air. 4.) Outlet usage and toilet -- these concerns were just stupid. People who do not boat in the normal life should not rent a houseboat. We boat just about every weekend and we know that the use of electronics require the batteries/generator to be on. If you don't understand this than I do not know what to say. 5.) Lake restrictions -- There are 2 marinas on the lake and shocker they do not play well together. The restrictions on the lake as to where you can go, what marinas you can go in to, etc. are part of an agreement. Rent accordingly. I think I have addressed a lot of the stupid responses. The whole crew at 7 Points Marina is there to do a job and they do it tremendously. The current person managing the marinas is Jeremy and we can remember him running around the marina as a kid. We have had issues with houseboats over the years do to other renters but they have done everything in their power to make it up to us and have our stay on the lake as enjoyable as possible. This is a lake that truly relies on the rental and travel industry to support their town. We look forward to many more enjoyable years renting from 7 Points Marina! At this point in time they are like family. If you want a great houseboat rental and to enjoy sometime on a very beautiful lake in the middle of nowhere than go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'd love to know why this marina closes it's gas pumps & pump out station dock at 3:45pm on a major holiday such as Labor day!?!! Google states they close at 7pm but a friend ours told us they closed earlier so I called to verify. Cindy (woman who answered the phone at 7 points) stated the gas dock closed @ 3:45pm. I told her we were heading towards the marina from a cove near Aitch (it was 3:25pm). As we were concerned we would run out of gas I asked her if she would rely to the dock that we were headed their way. She said she would relay the message. As we arrived to the no wake zone outside the marina @ 3:40pm a crazy woman in a small boat came past us screaming at us "THIS DOCK CLOSES IN 2 MINUTES!" the dock was already full w/ other boats so we just ignored her & waited our turn to dock. She never identified herself as an employee of the marina so we had no clue as to why she was screaming at us. We pulled up, asked the dock worker for gas & he immediately went to get the pump & fill us up. This same woman bolted over towards our boat, again screaming, that the pumps shut off automatically & we could not get gas. Automatic shut off is completely false because I saw her walk up to a panel & shut the pumps off herself. My husband & I tried to tell her that we were here w/ a few minutes to spare & that we needed gas to get back to the launch @ Snyder's run. And that our friends had already ran out of gas & were floating in the lake waiting for us to return to assist them back to the launch. This woman did not care! She shouted at us that it wasn't her problem. I asked her what we were supposed to do & she said she didn't know, didn't care and she walked away. Thankfully one of the dock workers ignored her orders to help us & retrieved a 5 gallon gas container from a shed. We paid for the gas & gave him a handsome tip for helping us. I asked another worker what the woman's name was that was screaming at us & I was told she's the "owner" and her name is "Sis" "Sis's" behavior towards us was completely uncalled for & unnecessary. How she owns a marina is beyond me. Closing at such a ridiculous time during a busy holiday weekend is absurd. FYI: Raystown Resort marina was open until 8pm (I called just out of curiosity after this nightmare of a situation happened). The only reason we didn't go there is because 7 points was on our way to the launch we used. We will NEVER use this marina again! And they have "sis" to thank for that. read more

I highly recommend Seven Points Marina! The staff was very friendly especially the lady who checked us in and the older man that gave us the boaters quiz. The marina staff on the dock was very nice and helpful also. The dock kid at the start of our boating day rental was nice but he talked a little fast when going over instructions for how to run the boat. The day on the lake was beautiful and not crowded at all. The tube and skis were nice and the boat ran well and we had no problem. We had 12 people on our pontoon, 8 of them kids from 15-19 years old and they had a blast and being on the lake from 830-5 tires us all out and was plenty of time for us all to tube, ski and swim and eat some lunch that we brought along. We found a tree swing into the lake across from mike marker 1 and the kids had a lot of fun swinging on it. It was a great day! We rented from Seven points two years ago and this is our second time and we are really happy with the service. I even had to change the reservation to a whole different day a couple weeks ahead and a simple phone call to the marina and everything was transferred to the new day. We registered all of the people in our party beforehand and two of them could not make it so we added two different kids and it was no problem to do it when we checked in. It was an excellent day and will be our end of summer tradition and hopefully a couple times a summer tradition! read more

i just canceled my slip of many years after finding out SIS Filson operations manger contacted fish commission to say my boat had to much hp from the motor i added after long processes and court;( charges were dropped) all she had to due was talk to me i would have showed her what i did was with in coast guard regulations. but i am fed up she stated safety concerns,and liabilities (?whos liabilities ) as far as safety she should look at her actions allowing drinking getting drunk on docks then watching people get in cars,boats and drive away.being there was like being in a concentration camp at times even getting fuel from dock you were on pins and needles . straw that broke camels back was when i stopped to help some back there trailer in to get his boat the lady came out screaming saying i cant park there i told her i wasn't didn't make any difference she keep yelling . i was up there for a week with my other boat i asked if i could but it in my slip i was told no (sited lake regulations) then i find the guy at the end of dock does exactly that and does not even get charged to put in as she did me it appears sis Filson and officer quarracino conspire to regulate who gets to use there lake .. i can go on ............lots to tell at some point the guard will change and the core will allow another marina at that end .......... read more

We had a fantastic time and our family of eight were already planning on next houseboat trip on our day of departure! The boat was clean and in good operating condition for our three day trip. We encountered no problems that needed assistance. We had a five star experience but there are some things we felt were lacking. Packing for our trip proved difficult because the website is not detailed on what kitchen/bath items to bring. They did provide all cookware, plates, utensils, toaster, drip coffeemaker, trash bags, dish soap/sponge and toilet paper. Be sure to bring all bedding, bath soap/shampoo, bath and kitchen towels and drinking water. Our biggest disappointment and where we feel needs immediate attention is there is no first aid kit on the boat. We had a toddler who scraped his knee and we had no band aids. We alerted the staff to this and were told it is a common complaint from the guests but they have not addressed it. The staff is nice and they spent as much time as we felt needed to explain operating the vessel. They also "delivered" our late guests to us as you can not dock the boat yourself in the marina. Hot tub was great! They empty and refill the water after each rental. They also provide you with chemicals. We will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

Perfect experience. Rented a pontoon boat for the day. Discussed what was needed in advance. We were kept up to date of everything we needed to bring and how much the cost would be. We brought our boat license cards along. We appreciated email conversations that kept us in the loop. Arrived the day of the rental, parking is very convenient. All requirements were explained; short video was watched. Every member of the staff, inside and outside, we dealt with was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and helpful. Our mission was to learn about the top half of the lake in prep for a future fishing trip and boat rental. Gary was great at sharing the ins and outs of the lake. He took time to go over the map with us not only once, but twice. He successfully answered all of our questions about navigating the lake. The pontoon was very clean, tank full, and all required equipment was on board, shown to us, and explained. The operation of the boat was explained to us, and all questions were answered. It was a very windy day, and staff was extremely helpful in getting us out and met us at the dock when we came back in. Our mission was accomplished and we are grateful to Seven Points Marina for facilitating the process. read more

1st class experience from start to finish. On line reservation system was a breeze, Check in was fast and efficient, guys that showed us the boat were entertaining and informative, after a long day on the water, the check out process was again efficient. The boat appeared to be brand new, although I dont think it was. Everyone we encountered was friendly and appeared to genuinely care whether we were having a good time. Would highly recommend this outfit to all that are looking to rent a boat and enjoy time on the Raystown Lake. read more

I wanted to type this before I take a well deserved nap the day after our 10 hour drive home to Michigan following an amazing 4 day stay on Miss Liberty (a totally awesome houseboat). The long journey was totally worth it. Our grandson and his parents had a blast not only on the boat but also doing hiking and biking while grandma and I relaxed, read or fished (grandpa did the last thing...a lot)! Special shout out to "Lita"? and EVERYONE who makes the Seven Points experience so very, very special. Bill (and Eileen) Jones read more

We rented a houseboat for 4 nights. This was our 4th time renting from Seven Points Marina. And we can't stop talking about it! The boats are beautiful and so clean, hands down the most comfortable accommodations we have experienced. The lake is gorgeous and we are planning to do this again, and going to bring more people along so they can see what we have been talking about. Just one more thing, the people who work there are the very best! Friendly, informative, helpful above and beyond our needs. read more

I can't stress how friendly and helpful all of the staff were. If you are thinking about renting a boat from them, just do it! You won't regret it! read more

This is our 7th year renting a houseboat from Seven Points Marina. This is hands down the best way to vacation. We have rented the Raystowner for the last five years.

Friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile. We are already looking forward to next year! read more

Annual Lil' Mo rental and it never gets old. The booking process is easy to navigate and if you have your boaters license check in takes no time at all and you are out on the lake. Everyone at the Marinara are super polite and ready to ensure you have a great time. The boats are clean with a full tank of gas, tube and slide which is a perfect combination for a great day of fun on the lake. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Our family of 6 adults and 3 little ones rented a pontoon boat and had a blast on the lake. The boat was pet friendly so our dogs got to go along. The 3 year old loved the experience. even the 1 year old and baby did well on the boat. We tubed, played in the water and on the slide and toured the lake. Boat and equipment all worked well and we were given all the necessary information for a good, safe day. read more

This was our first time venturing out to Raystown Lake. We rented the Merry Margaret for the week for our family and had an absolute blast. The Seven Points Marina staff are all fantastic. They made sure we knew they were happy we were there. Always friendly and courteous and willing to help. We can't wait to see those folks again next summer! Thank you for a great time! read more

We rented a Lil Mo pontoon boat for the day. Our family had an excellent time. The staff at the marina were friendly and helpful. They walked through the areas to checkout on the lake and the crew on the dock explained the boat very easily. The kids loved tubing and swimming. The boat was in near perfect shape and clean. Will definitely be back. read more
