My wife and I recently decided a great way to spend a holiday Saturday with our son, his wife, and…read moretheir daughter, would be to spend some time on Lake San Marcos - and what better way to do that then a gondola? After some quick research on Yelp, we made our reservations (VERY easy to do) and met everyone on said Saturday at the Black Swan dock. (side note - they want you there 20 minutes early...this does NOT mean you can check in 20 minutes early...chances are very high that the person checking you in is your gondolier, and he/she will be on the water at that moment). We had Conner (VERY traditional Italian name....cough) - and he was awesome. He shared some great details as we made our way along the shoreline, including some of the local nicknames for the houses on the water. He was VERY knowledgeable about when the lake was created, the various depths, and gave us tips on when to avoid being on the water (July 4th was high on that). We brought along our own drinks and snacks, and thoroughly enjoyed our ride. Highly recommended!

Everything was so easy from communicating with Captain John to arrange our outing to the actual outing. There was never an awkward moment. It was like sailing with longtime friends.

It's just a great lake and a great marina. It is so quiet. It is so sunny. Think abour being in perfect day like if it was 1963 when the hotel there was founded. I have a friend in San Marcos and that is always our meeting point because we enjoy the quiet we enjoy people watching and especially the view. There are so many photo opportunities here that makes you feel the looks deluxe even if you are a local. d During Christmas is also a good time to visit because everything gets so wonderland and with lots of igloos and lots of activities too. Just a fantastic spot.

On 8 Aug 15, the weather was awesome, so my son and I decided to rent a few wave runners. We were…read moreat first apprehensive about the prices, but went for it anyways. The staff was awesome and were very accommodating. We rented two skis for one hour. We had thought about renting for two hours and if we had more time, we would have! The staff went over all the rules, equipment, areas to ride, etc. handed out a few life jackets and we headed out. My son had never ridden one before, but is very familiar with boating and motorcycles. My daughter rode with me! We went out past the jetty and it was on!!! Riding in the ocean and warm water of Del Mar was awesome!! Catching air off waves was intense!! What a ride!! We even saw a total of 5 Dolphins off Del Mar beach! As our time was up, the staff was there waiting to pick us up and took care of us again. Great service!! Thank you Side notes/Recommendations: Don't ride near the shore off the Oceanside Beaches. If you're between the end of the pier and the beach, you're too close! We were warned by the patrol boat! Riding in the ocean, your hands/finger tips get numb. Might try some wake boarding gloves? Also, the salt water will constantly splash in your face and eyes, if you're having fun! If you have sunglasses, bring a strap, because you will lose them! I would almost recommend some sort of goggles instead!! And lastly, a few other other things. Get a Waterproof GoPro to record the ride and a waterproof case for your IPhone, ID's, Etc. The mini PX does no have them! Just go for it!!! It's worth the money!! Have fun enjoy the ride!! We will be back!! The only reason this is not 5 stars is the launch area is so far from the rental. You might be able to get a ride with staff, but prepare to follow them and park. Might need a hide a key, or risk taking the keys with you on the ride?

The local police towed in broken down ski. The workers could not give refunds, only voucher for another day. Good thing for credit cards, you can cancel charges. Could have just been the two that day, but military bases in other places I have gone require better service of their contractors. Thoroughly inspect everything before taking out a jet ski. It may have been better if they had included some rope in the storage bins too.

We began the conversation over a month ago and they were checking in weekly with me to make sure they had their boat, the decorations, food and drinks up to par. They exceeded all expectations. They didn't just escort us around the harbor, they were a FULL service experience. They had homemade food preparations, made our drinks, cleaned up and were the kindest, most hospitable team anyone could ask for. I highly recommend them for any experience because they will cater specially for you. They accommodate your requests, are reliable and honest and follow up to ensure a quality experience. I have already told all my friends about them in San Francisco and they are all considering making a special trip for them. Please, if you're in the San Diego area or planning to visit, make the time to sail with Lucinda and Jason Lilley. They are so special and I am so grateful to them for making our experience one we'll never forget. THEY DESERVE TEN STARS!!!!

We had 4 in our party and that felt just about right to have some room to move about on the deck.

This is typical from what I heard. You can't go wrong with a trip on the Bueno! Highly recommended.
