Very efficient however the depth/ fish finder did not work but I was not offered any compensation for it not working since it was listed as part of the rental John Connery

Very clean equipment and top notch service! I was happy with the assistance taking our things from or truck to the dock. I also appreciated the run through of the boat prior to departure. 

Business response:

Christopher, thank you for the review. We look forward to seeing you out on the Lake again soon!

My wife and I rented a pontoon boat from the South Shore Marina location for viewing the eclipse. The boat was in excellent shape (clean, organized) and was perfectly sized for the 2 of us. The staff was very friendly. They helped us load our coolers on the boat and gave us a very thorough walk-through on the on board systems, safety and lake rules. The boat performed flawlessly through it the day and the return process was easy too. Would definitely rent from Better Boating again! 

Business response:

Ron we appreciate your review and we are glad you enjoyed the Eclipse from the Lake! See you again soon.

Great time and great service! Needed a last minute boat due to weather conditions and Better Boating took care of everything we needed and allowed us a fantastic family day on the water. So glad to know that they are nearby and will most definitely be using them again! I would highly recommend💯

Rebecca we are glad you had a fun day with your family. Looking forward to seeing you again !

I was disappointed that we were told the boat we were renting could pull a tube. However, when we showed up it could not. My kids were extremely disappointed. All they would say was sorry. The boat was vey clean and in good condition though. 

Business response:

Rachelle, sorry for any misscommunication. The half day boat rentals are not equiped ever to tow water toys. We have a gift certificate for you for a FREE TOWABLE on your next outing. Please note a coupon will be emailed to you. I hope you will come back and join us on the Lake.
