He runs the place under the slogan "No Aggravation Boating," and honestly, that's exactly what it was. No stress, no hassle, just a warm welcome and real care for his customers.

Mortimer's Marine Ltd. -- known more affectionately as Mortimer's Point -- is one of my favorite…read moremarinas on the Lakes because of the following: 1) They sell bulk candy, all of it gummy. I absolutely cannot resist gummy candy, especially if you make it sour and coat it in sugar. Pick up a brown paper bag (reminiscent of school lunches all those many years ago), a pair of miniature tongs, and go to town. Keep track of the number you put in your sack (they're $0.05 apiece), tell the cashier and pay, and you're on your way to a candy coma. 2) There's an old-fashioned Esso sign hanging out in the middle of the Lake, letting you know Mortimer's point is up around the bend. I *love* this Esso sign, all by its lonesome in the middle of the water. I think I have more pictures of *it* than of the family up there. 3) MP doubles as an "airport." Meaning, this is where the rich folk from Toronto (who aren't rich enough to have a seaplane garage at their cottage) land and store their seaplanes. So there's always several moored at Mortimer's. We like to eyeball them whenever we're gassing up the boat. The novelty of a seaplane really never wears off... 4) There never seem to be any adults around. It's like this place is run entirely by children and teens. It gives you an oddly exciting, "Children of the Corn" adrenaline rush. And when you push off the dock to leave, you kind of feel a sense of relief that you didn't fall victim to He Who Walks Behind the Rows.

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.

AO was well stocked even in the mid season and we had plenty of great options to choose from and lovely staff to help with our sélection. It was a bonus that all kids jacket and pants were on sale for 30% off. Woot! While we were browsing for the pants, we decided to get the binding adjusted on her skis and the gentleman (Bob) was so helpful with tweaking my daughter's gears to make her first day back on the slopes as easy and enjoyable as possible. It's shops like this that I miss in Toronto, with that extra attention to customers experience and willingness to go that extra mile to make it great. Thank you, Bob and staff for helping us be ready for our first day back on the slopes. We will be back to visit the shop next time we are in the area and need to pick up some great stuff!

Not happy with this company. I got a bobcat and the first day we had it, it broke down because…read morethey didn't service it properly. When I rented it I declined the 10% damage waiver because when I asked the guy what it covered he said it covered carelessness, which would not be happening on my site. The bobcat didn't work well again a few days later, so I called again, they came out to look at it and did a few things, including changing the belt. With these two issues, we were unable to use it for a few hrs. When they came to pick it up at the week, one of my guys wouldn't get off the machine, saying they could wait because the issues with the machine set us back a few hrs. They called me saying I was being charged by the hr, so of course I called my guy to tell him to get off the machine, which he did. I got the invoice and they charged me the damage waiver of $144 and one hr of waiting $100. They said if I didn't pay for the waiver they would be charging me $85/hr for the Mechanic that came out. The reason the machine wasn't working was not because of us being careless. They also charge $2.10 a liter for gas if they need to fill it when returned, which was my bad, I should have made sure it was filled. At this point I've requested a copy of the damage waiver to see if it states covering for a Mechanic to come out and fix the machine because of it breaking down due to improper servicing. Conveniently their scanner is broken and will scan it to me when its fix which gives them time to add what they need to. Will never use this company again and will continue to tell this story to my friends/family in this business.
