He was incredibly responsive, answered all of our questions, coordinated everything flawlessly the day of our rental, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The customer service from the entire team was exceptional. Tori was so sweet and drove us back and forth in the golf cart, making everything easy and stress-free and even taking us back to our condo at the end of the day so we didn't have to make the walk. Luke was an awesome deckhand, and Sully, who happened to be the owner of the pontoon boat we rented, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell everyone genuinely enjoys what they do and wants their guests to have the best experience possible. The pontoon boat was beautiful, clean, and exactly what we were hoping for. We spent an unforgettable day on Lake Tahoe making memories with our family, and this company played a huge part in that. If you're looking to rent a boat in Lake Tahoe, this is the company to book with. Thank you to Brad, Tori, Luke, Sully, and the entire team for making our day so memorable!

We booked a boat charter several weeks in advance. Communication was fine and the staff seemed…read morefriendly. That said, I'd encourage anyone considering this charter to know that the price they quote you isn't the full price -- they also require a captain's fee of $60/hour. Unfortunately, the day before our charter (end of June), a cold front came through. They called to let us know they'd had to cancel charters the day before due to weather, but that ours would still go on, just later in the day. With temperatures in the low 50s and the water even colder, we made the difficult decision to cancel -- it just wasn't safe or comfortable for kids to be in the water. That's when we learned our $500 deposit was non-refundable, and we might even still owe the captain's fees. I could understand keeping the deposit if it meant they lost the chance to book another charter that day -- but that wasn't the case. No boats were out on the lake due to the cold; everyone on shore was bundled up in sweatshirts and jackets. Honestly this experience left us feeling scammed. I would think twice before booking this charter in advance.

Easy and smooth rental experience. Jet skis were in great condition, and the staff made the process…read morequick and straightforward. It's first-come, first-serve, so I recommend calling ahead to check availability before showing up. We had a great time renting Sea-Doos and enjoying the lake. Just a heads up for future renters: You're required to stay within sight of the rental facility at all times. Not a deal-breaker, but good to know in advance. Feedback for mgmt: Your staff is so nice! I will say just say that I don't love how you write down CC info. I understand having credit card info & waivers signed by renters responsible for any damage, but there has to be a better system than writing down CC #s, expiration dates, billing zip codes and CVC codes on paper at the open air check-in table.

Very disappointing experience. We wanted to rent a jet ski for 1 hour ($200), but because of the…read moretime we were only offered 30 minutes for $120, even though that price wasn't posted anywhere. The staff was unfriendly from the start and made us feel unwelcome. Five minutes into our ride, my wife and daughter accidentally entered a restricted area. We understand it was our mistake, but instead of simply explaining the situation, they brought them back to shore, wasting much of our rental time. After that, my wife didn't want to continue, so I went out with my daughter instead. She was so uncomfortable that she kept saying the staff member was going to come back and take us out again, so she couldn't enjoy the ride. Overall, the lack of customer service and the staff's attitude ruined what should have been a fun family experience. They showed no empathy or concern, even though there was a young child with us.

If you're looking to rent a boat for a special day on the lake, these are the people to call. Top-tier service, excellent equipment, and memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend--book with them! 10/10, would rent again in a heartbeat.

It also gives…read moreme a reason to go to Garwoods and drink a few Wet Woody's before boarding the cruise because the catamaran picks you up at the dock outside of Garwoods. Living in Reno, this has become my favorite way to spend time on the lake and when guests visit in the summer months, I have been taking them on this cruise. I've experienced the Mimosa Cruise and they are great at making sure your cup is constantly refreshed. The charcuterie board was very minimal and basic so I suggest eating before or bringing snacks with you to absorb the mimosas. I have also experienced the live music cruise but 10 min before boarding, I received a text saying the musician had double booked so there would be no live music and they offered $20 a person refund which to me seemed a bit ridiculous since the whole purpose of the live music cruise is live music. I felt like a better refund should have been offered or a coupon for 50% off the next cruise. The captain is a lively man and the two women who help steer the boat and serve drinks are great and a lot of fun. I will add that I before purchasing tickets for the first time, I called and left a message because I wanted to verify where the pickup location would be but no one called me back. Also, though I have fun on the cruise and plan to go again, I am a bit worried about the communication and policy of this company after reading other reviews that their cruise was canceled and they had a hard time getting refunded especially after my experience of no live music on a live music cruise and being told last minute and only receiving a small refund.

Overpriced & underwhelming. We recently went on the daily catamaran sail with Captain Bob. While…read morethe boat itself was in great condition, Bob was unfriendly when answering questions and dismissive. We felt disrespected and would never sail with him again.
