My boat was sitting for approximately two years due to a surgery I had…read more I brought my boat to Daves Marine for the yearly service and replace my batteries.. I also saw a hose that I thought may need to be changed. Also my trailer brakes were not working. I expected to leave Daves Marine spending approximately $4000 due to all the issues my boat had at that time. A few days later, I received a call indicating that they were able to repair my brakes without replacing any parts which was great to hear. Dave also said the hose did not need to be repaired at this time but maybe in the future it would be a good idea. Dave completed the service on my boat, installed new batteries, replaced a surge pump and it's running great. I am pleased and feel lucky to have an honest boat mechanic That's not trying to rip me off every turn that they can. Daves Marine could have easily told there were things wrong with my boat that weren't ( surge brake parts, hoses, etc) and I probably would have paid to have them repaired. I love spending way less than I expected. Thank you to Dave and his wife for being such an honest business. Daves Marine has a lifetime customer as long as I live in California.

Not only do you get to enjoy a beautiful lake, but there are rolling hills with lush grass, covered gazebos with grills, and several playground apparatuses for the kiddos. I counted three off-hand, but I feel like there were more. Want to jet ski? Check. Wanna go fishing? Check. Kayaking? Check. Boating? Check. Prefer to pedal a boat on the water? You can do that too. Or bring your bike. You can also hike or stroll around the park and take in the wildlife. The wild geese, ducks, birds, squirrels, lizards, and small fish are fun to watch. Just don't feed them, per the signs posted around the area. However, humans can pack a picnic and lounge the day away. Admission per vehicle is $15/day and you have in/out privileges all day long. Special events like concerts, triathlons, and fishing tournaments happen here so check out the calendar on their website. Also, Bonelli Regional Park has Overnight Family Camping on the second Friday of June, July, and August so mark your calendars. We did, but this summer escaped us. We'll be putting that on our bucket list for 2027. Also, you can horseback ride and the Equestrian Center is at the back side of the park. NOTE: Regional Parks are closed Mondays & Tuesdays. Parking was $15/car and you have access in/out all day long.

What a beautiful park with so many varied areas to recreate!…read more I have to admit, I do wish it was limited to unmotorized boats, other than the Lifeguards. It's so peaceful to be near or out on the water with people using row boats, kayaks, paddle boards, peddle boats, fishing etc. But then you get a speedboat or jet ski blaring back and forth in this little strip area. I'm not sure why that would even be fun in such a confined area. Anyway, I don't recommend it for motorized boats. Too small. But often it's quiet and peaceful there. They have a bird wetland/marsh habitat area at the southeast end of the lake with all kinds of beautiful water birds. The bird watching there is amazing. You even sometimes see Bald Eagles. Many families have parties there and stroll the grounds on the weekend. Perfect for people who don't have yards and want to come and relax on the grass and picnic on the weekend. I recommend anyone in the area that uses the park often get a yearly membership and support this great resource of ours!

They also have a key to the bathroom, which is around the corner. Even though we were 20 minutes early, they let us get on the water bike after a quick instruction. Riding on the water bikes was really fun! We rode around the bay and the water was choppy sometimes but as you get inside the bay, the water is calmer. A trick is that if you feel the water is too choppy, start paddling - the water will calm down with the pedaling. There are several boats around which provided live music for us. The bike has two cup holders and a front container to put your phones and small stuff in. We had a great time. They share a parking lot with nearby restaurants which offer 3 hours of free parking. That is a huge plus for something near the beach! We will be back next time to try a glow ride.

After leaving a review and a voicemail regarding my customer service concern, I received a phone…read morecall from Brianna who is managing the employees at Duffy rental. She was incredibly kind and helpful. She acknowledged my concerns, validated how I felt about the experience, and assured me that improved staff training would take place so that these kinds of interactions are eliminated in the future. Brianna restored my faith in Duffy rentals, but I still would not go back if Shirley is the face of the company at the boat dock. I was disappointed with how she handled a conflict during our experience. Rather than remaining calm, listening to the concern, and working toward a reasonable solution, the interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and poorly managed. I understand that difficult situations can arise in any customer-facing business, but employees--particularly those placed in positions where they are expected to resolve problems--should have the training and professionalism to de-escalate conflict rather than contribute to it. My concern isn't that there was a disagreement; disagreements happen. It was the way the situation was handled. Better communication, maturity, and conflict-resolution training would have made a significant difference in our experience. But, again... thank you to Brianna for taking my call on a weekend.

Outstanding Service, Knowledge, and Customer Care!…read more After 50 years of owning boats and doing my own mechanical work, I finally met a problem that had me stumped. My boat suddenly developed a severe vibration (and no, I hadn't hit anything with the prop!). After two days of troubleshooting, I finally tapped out and asked a friend for a marine repair recommendation. Without hesitation, he said WakeTeck Marine. From my first conversations with Nick, Brian, Adam, and Wayne, I knew I was dealing with a different kind of repair shop. Everyone was knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to listen. Brian, in particular, patiently reviewed my detailed notes and measurements, explained how things actually work on boats, and never made me feel like my questions were unwelcome. The diagnosis was impressive. They sent me a video using a laser to check the prop shaft, revealing that it was cracked near the keyway. I never would have found it on my own, and they explained that I was lucky it hadn't broken completely and caused more serious damage. They kept me updated throughout the repair. Parts took a little longer to arrive than I wanted (I'm spoiled by Amazon overnight delivery! ), but once they arrived, the team got right on it. I've always been skeptical of boat repair shops because I've done my own work for decades and want to know the job is done right. WakeTeck earned my trust. Brian also explained why professional service is increasingly important with today's computerized boats and specialized diagnostic equipment. If you're looking for experience, technical knowledge, honest communication, and people who genuinely care about their customers, I highly recommend WakeTeck Marine. They've earned my business and my confidence!
