Walkers Point -- aside from being one of the more well-established and full-service on the lakes -- is conveniently located for trips in and out of Gravenhurst. Aside from fuel, WP offers new and used boat sales in a beautiful showroom that's dangerous fun to browse, service and parts, boat supplies from bumpers to navigation lights, water sport supplies like kayaks and wake boards, cottage indulgences such as Aqua Lily Pads and water trampolines, snacks, coffee, and wifi. Yup, you could hang out in the bow of a Cobalt Facebooking friends and enjoying a cappuccino if you were so inclined. One day I just may try it and see what happens.

The service here is consummately professional, too. The attendants are always on the dock well in advance of your arrival to assist you in docking and perform their mundane duties with a smile. But in the last couple years they totally downsized the actual marina store in favor of pushing ski boats and launches for sale on their docks. Don't get me wrong, I love to eye-eff a good ski boat or launch, but when I'm waiting for the boat to be fueled I also like to ogle maps and candy and shorts made out of towels -- you know, posh stuff. This year they've also concentrated on adding an art gallery to the marina...an art gallery! Attached to a gas station! With one Sun and Ski outlet *already* dedicated to the sale of boats, I wish this Sun and Ski outlet would remain true to its roots, slum it with the rest of the Muskoka marinas and sell me some Corn Nuts.

You're able to drive the boat to different islands and dock there. There's a BBQ on deck as well and the entire experience was relaxing.

The staff a great at training and put in enough time to teach you how to handle the houseboat. They provide a service line if you need it and always have someone there to answer questions. I went in late May where the whether was ok but very quiet in the late spring so no issues with busy locks or too many boaters in the water. Got a chance to see their luxury boats and it's like a floating hotel. Can't wait to go back. Highlights of the trip were Boyd island, Bobcaygeon, Lower Buckhorn lake, Wolfe Island and Lovesick lock.

The thing is if they had a pristine conditioned machine before we would understand that but clearly the dents and scratches didn't matter enough except to charge us for 8 hours of work for the scratch shown below!!!! My brother in law said that would be 1 hour max And he works with boats all the time... This is a totally untrustworthy overpriced scam business that will be reported to the better business bureau. The way they took advantage of us for the damage should be a red flag.

Ryan always recommends a great boat based on the needs of our group. Delivery is convenient, on time, and FREE! The equipment is always clean, and in great working condition. We did have a battery die on us one summer, and NLM had a mechanic at our cottage on the same day to have it fixed. The customer service at Northern Lakes Marine is terrific - phone calls and emails are answered promptly. The staff are informative, helpful and polite. Thank you Ryan for making this the easiest part of planning our summer vacation!

Now they recognize us when we come to refuel, ask how the boat's running, and keep an account in our name where we can charge things like gas, water toys and bumpers (sometimes they go missing from the boat, what can I say?). Awesome.

While the building itself may be a bit dated, it more than makes up for it in service. Get past the lifejackets stacked in the corner of the store and the general disorganized feeling and you'll find that this place has a lot of options for boaters, including several types of boats (with variable speeds) that can be rented out. My group ended up settling for a 15-horsepower boat that cost us $80 for the day plus gas charges. Luckily, they'll refund a portion of the gas charge based on what you have left at the end of the day. This is a very laid-back place. The owner's dog saunters around and sees visitors off in the boat (by sitting at the end of the dock), and we had some old (very old) paddles in the boat that we attempted to use to row (to no avail). The boats get you to where you need to go and the general experience is very good. The owner gave my group a short lesson on how to use the boat (one of my friends had boating experience and knew how to operate one), which was appreciated. Sturgeon Bay Marine is a great place to rent a boat if you don't have any other options.
