We rented the Astoria for a 3 night vacation and had a wonderful time. When we arrived the boat was…read moreready to go (actually an hour early) and were met by a full crew with carts at our vehicle ready to transport all our stuff to the boat. They also loaded all our stuff on the boat. Check in was easy and efficient. The Captain walked us thru the boat explaining everything we needed to know for our trip and answered all our questions. During the initial briefing the Captain walked us thru a map of the lake and made some recommendations for beaching. After piloting us out of the marina he offered to demonstrate beaching in a nearby cove which we happily accepted. It was a great location and we ended up staying there that night and relocated the next day. The boat operated flawlessly during our trip and they met us promptly on the morning of our return date which was important to us because we had plans to spend the day at Silver Dollar City. The captain quickly got us into the fuel dock for refuel and pump out. When we arrived back at the dock we were again met by a happy and efficient crew which unloaded our stuff and transported it all to our vehicle. Check out was also quick and efficient. We highly recommend them and would happily book with them agIan.

They also have fish cleaning stations w/ knives and folks that can help. Lisa thoughtfully helped us from patiently answering our questions over the phone to helping outfit us with all the right tackle. Derek was the very kind dock boss who explained all the ins and outs of boating this lake/river. He also provided backup equipment, including rod & reel which ended up being used since we snagged a log that took hook and all our line. Bathrooms (two) are to the right of front door and were kept clean. Wonderful time, caught five beautiful rainbow trout.

This was an additional $180 cost! there was no mention anywhere when on website! when we inquired about transporting the coolers ourselves, we were told we could not do that; don't know if that meant that it was private property or there was no public access. We surrendered because we had no other options as far and paid their huge fee. Waited over an hour for transportation to put in spot, our group was split up in two buses, loaded kayaks were blocking the seats before we were allowed to get on, and passengers were scolded because some younger people did not climb over the bus seats and were expected to do so versus the older passengers!!! Shouldn't have had to climb over the seats at all. This is also a safety hazard, probably against the law. We finally arrived and only one person there to assist our large group and many other people to put in the river. They did have outfitted canoe kayaks staged for our group, but other groups were taking half of the one set aside for us which further delayed us another 45 minutes, we finally got in the river only to find out that three of the kayaks were broken. Overall, I would rate this outfitter as the worst I have ever seen personnel under demand equipment, and very poor condition. Operation for basic services was not very well organized. Needless to say we will never return to this outfitter or recommend anyone else use them. In fact we will recommend they use anybody else than James River Outfitters!!!!

Beautiful float all season pending river conditions you may or may not drag but that's mother nature. My only complaint is I wish they could get the 5 mile float back as it was perfect for beginners in the group. The 7 mile was a beautiful float just long. Hoping that there will be improvements for the 2025 season but over all a great spot!!

This is a small, family-owned operation that couldn't have made a better experience for us! The prices are great, they're super friendly, the store has a lot of essentials for low prices, and there is an adjoining BBQ place called Jill's to get a bite to eat! The only thing that had prices inflated was gas. We rented a pontoon that had a radio equipped. No other fancy stuff, but the price and service was right. We reserved a half day from 2-6pm but had to stop around 4 because of a storm. They only charged us for half the rate, without any hesitation. I really loved this place and if I'm ever back in the area I'll definitely go back.

We were the only ones that booked during that time so I think Captain Sam just let us parasail longer. We were easily up there for 20+ minutes. It was so much fun! There wasn't a ton of waiting around & instructions beforehand but rather a practical explanation once you're on the boat heading out to where you'll start. I also really liked how they let you bring whatever you want (sunglasses, waterproof camera, etc.) up in the air as long as you understand it's your responsibility if you drop it. The other thing I really liked was they take videos and pictures of your experience and you can buy the SD card for $30, there was about 30 pictures and 1 video, but definitely worth it! Captain Sam and his co worker were both funny & made us have a great experience. If I could change one thing is if the price was a bit cheaper, I'm sure more people wouldn't hesitate as much to sign up.

I would definitely recommend renting from them and enjoying the other side of the lake where it is not so busy. Renters be aware that they do not rent tubes but do have them for sell (for a price) at the marina. This is not overly apparent on their website so I thought it worth mentioning. Life jackets are provided with the boat, however, which is nice in comparison to other marinas where you have to rent them. All I all, we had a great experience and hope to rent from them again in the future.
