1.00Horrible experience. Pontoon had known engine issues that was not disclosed by operator. The engine issues were thankfully remediated by knowledgeable driver that had to pump fuel line about 20 times in the 2 hour rental period. Pontoon boat was also not functioning balanced and the front bow almost went underwater. Manager has refused to respond to my direct calls and emails about complaints.
Beautiful experience

WORST COMPANY EVER!!

1.00THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST COMPANY MY FAMILY HAS EVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH! First off, when boarding the pontoon boat a worker informed us where the lifejackets were and where things were incase the coast guard once again pulled over one of their boats, apparently last time their boat was checked out by coast guard not enough life jackets were onboard for the current occupants. THEN, not only did the pontoon boat completely stop working after 40 minutes out on the water (out of the three hours we rented it for), but the workers (while pleasant) took almost two hours to get us back and docked. Did I mention one of them also CRASHED the pontoon boat into another boat that was docked while bringing us back?? Hardly what I would consider a light crash either! My family and I were willing to overlook the whole fiasco when they offered to give us a refund or swap out our wasted time for jet skis the next day. We happily accepted the jet skis, HOWEVER were informed the next day neither offer was possible as "the employee who offered us that was not authorized to do so," according to the manager. While the workers were pleasant enough, the manager had a horrible attitude and ended up refunding my family only 20% of the $500 rent, even though we only used the pontoon boat for 40 minutes out of 3 hours. Manager also accused my family of breaking the boat WHEN HER OWN EMPLOYEES COULDN'T GET IT TO WORK AND SAID THE BATTERY DIED BECAUSE THEY HAD WASHED THE BOAT EARLIER WHILE PLAYING USING ITS BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS AND THE ENGINE WAS OFF! By far the WORST experience we've EVER had with a company -- horrible customer service, zero empathy, and a lack of boat knowledgeable workers (by the manager's own admission). The workers themselves were at least far more friendly, but customers are punished for workers' mistakes and faulty equipment. In case a similar incident happens to you, I strongly suggest going to ANY OTHER COMPANY! When something goes wrong the manager claims ZERO fault to avoid refunding people. DISHONEST, CORRUPT COMPANY!
Highly recommend!
