The facilities are very basic, with the shop/chandlery seemingly randomly stocked, and the amenities (restrooms, shower) rather grim. The docks are in bad shape and quite rickety, mostly close inshore. That said, the staff have an outstanding reputation for doing the basics of keeping a boat in shape and a boat owner happy. I have heard two different stories of the staff doing rescue-tows and refusing even to be tipped for slip-owners. The boat yard is right next to the slips and the ramp (there is no winch, note) so if you have a small boat, want to go cheap, and convenient, this seems like a good option. The river location is between locks 7 and 8, more or less halfway between Freeman's Bridge and the Rexford Bridge.

U-Drive Boat Rental makes it super easy; everything from from reserving the boat to getting out on the water is a a breeze Andy and his dedicated staff will do whatever it takes to ensure a terrific day on the lake - they even offer to help load your bags onto the boat. The views are spectacular and the water is divine so don't forget your bathing suits! The boats are in tip top shape and most have a nice shade awning to get out of the sun if you like. All boats are equipped with life jackets so you can put one on and float in the water - which is also lovely to do! Plan to spend at least 3 or 4 hours, I guarantee you will not want to see your day on the boat end. We will definitely do this again.. Thanks U-Drive Boat Rental!! Lori and Friends.

There were so many people on that particular day some ice fishing, some skating, a large gang of bikers showing off their skills and racing on snow bikes. Couldn't believe winters could also be fun and adventurous! It's definitely a place to stop and visit. The lakes relatively shallow depth is an excellent warm-water fishery, mainly for sunfish and large mouth bass. As I said earlier, Ice fishing is permitted here. And when all the adventure is said and done there are lots of restaurants surrounding the area to explore.

The prior one was my brother, dad and uncle going Canoeing and getting caught by a gusty wind which ended up in a 911 call asking for help (everyone was safe). Round Lake is a small lake in Saratoga County, New York that is located east of the village of Round Lake. It is a "kettle lake", formed at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation by a large block of ice left behind as the glacier melted. Most of the ownership around the 91-acre lake is private. This access provides the only public access on the lake. I have seen activities like fishing, rowing, boating, ice fishing, biking, racing to name a few.

The day after our sea trial we met Joseph for the hand-off and it was clear from the beginning that he was a pro. What we didn't know (since you couldn't tell from a quick visual inspection) was that the previous owner didn't take very good care of the trailer (faithful fresh water rinse after being in salt water). Within the fist 400 miles Joe had to replace 3 tires after the brakes overheated and blew the already dry rotten tires. In route, Joe kept me apprised, found replacement tires, changed them himself and even pulled the calipers on the front axel to keep them from overheating again. Every time we spoke he had a positive "no worries" attitude and kept on coming. We have a tricky maneuver to back the boat in it's new garage but Joe once again made it look easy. You just can't go wrong using Joseph to transport your precious cargo. And to top it off, he is a "believer". Praise God we made a new friend.

This place is nothing but a bait and switch! I purchased a Monterey M6 which by the way has been…read moreturning out to be nothing but garbage! Do not buy a Monterey product. They will not warranty anything and utilize more fine print than you can imagine. I was sold this boat with a 7 year bow to stern warranty which I was told covered everything for 7 years. Being new to boating I trusted the Brodies (Owners of Yankee Boating) First they ordered me the wrong boat! Interior wrong, helm wrong, all electronics wrong. Mind you it was delivered begging of boating season so obviously not being happy I didn't want the wrong boat, the deal was I would sign papers on this boat start making payments and use it and they would order the new one for the next year! Next year comes new boat is late and in the body shop for a problem with the decals. Get the boat first couple years are ok little issues become bigger issues but I don't want to be without boat till end of the season so I compile all issues after 4yrs and in October 2024 contact Josh In The service dept and says send me pics I will contact Monterey and we will take care of issues. So after 5 months of no communication I called and he said we haven't heard back I'll call you Monday (3days later) and of course nothing. So 2 weeks later I go in and Charlie who was not very nice either I think because I bothered him on lunch said Josh was on lunch looked it up and said I don't see anything he will call you today I promise.lol Yeah a week and a half later Josh calls me and says all warranty has been declined there is nothing we can do!! Not happy I say have Andrew Brodie call me (the owner). In the mean time I call Monterey and the guy says none of these thing are covered and the 7 year total warranty was nothing what I was sold when I bought the boat! Here are issues. Sea Deck is pulling up everywhere, all of the hinges on everything that opens on the boat are litterally falling apart. Gel coat is cracking everywhere! And the 5k touchscreen helm option is delaminating and coming apart. It clearly says on the bs 7 yr warranty and issues w engine instrumentation is covered. He said well I was the one who declined warranty and Yankee never even sent pictures of the screen! I said well I have them I will send them to you and he would not take them from me said they had to come from dealer. He then asked if it worked I said yes but falling apart and I have to keep it covered so it doesn't get wet and he said well it works so not warranting it. So obviously frustrated I hang up and wait for Andrew Brodie to call me because to this point thought we had a great relationship in me buying a over $100k bought and paying it right off, he will surely take care of this situation. Get the call from him days later and he says well warranty is black and white nothing that we could do!?!? What???? You and your brother told me this 7 yr warranty covered everything!!! He says no not everything then the slime ball salesmen the REAL Andrew Brodie comes out and starts reading all the fine print and picks the warranty claim apart and I say this has been going on for years and when I called service to complain was told compile the problems we will take care of it over winter here we are because all of the fine print warranty has passed. So bottom line in my dealings with Yankee Boating,Monterey, and Andrew Brodie watch out he is that slimy used car salesmen that your parents warned you about when you were a kid selling you a Monterey product that truly is garbage and both him and the manufacturer know it and run the fine print game better than anyone in the business!
