Had never been to big bear before naturally thought it'd be nice to rent a boat to be on the water…read more Big bear marina was very friendly and helpfully when I inquired about renting a boat for me and my family. After doing some research we decided it'd be a better value to do the big bear lake tour. We had done the waivers online which made check in with Tracey super easy! Our tour was captain Paul which was very informative about big bears rich history. We had our 10 month old baby on the tour which he advised us we'd be getting wet in the front of the boat, we decided to take our changes and stay in front he then offered us some blankets to help keep us and our baby dry and warm which definitely came in handy! If you've never had a big bear lake tour I definitely recommend taking one at big bear Marina definitely learned a lot about big bears history!

Captain Dre was the best. He was a great coach but also personable & professional; he contributed…read moregreatly to an overall amazing experience; he also knew exactly how to drive the boat and communicate with us. We did a 3 hour charter with 6 people. We first did the Zup board, which was a great introduction & had lots of different things you could do with it. We then did wake surfing, which was challenging but so fun. Then wakeboarding, which was awesome as well. We didn't have time for tubing, but with the experience we had I want to go again and perfect that wake surfing, as well as go tubing. Captain Dre for the win!

I did not book online in advance and they were still able to get our kids into the next timeslot and let me do waivers on the provided iPads. They even gave us tips on where to park for free across the street at the village. Janine was absolutely wonderful and Brian was on top of everything! I would definitely do this again and again it was super reasonable at $20 per person. 10/10 highly recommend this on your trip this summer.

Then after many hours passed, I had completely lost the desire to even rent a boat I get a text with a link to the pricing and inventory page. Is this a joke? These guys apparently are getting a quick return on their investment, because $9,000 for a days rental for a Mid-Level Mastercraft is absolutely insane! Might as well use that for a deposit on purchasing one yourself.

Had a great time on our pontoon boat this past Saturday. Our adult children said it was the…read morehighlight of our trip to my family's cabin in Big Bear. We rented a cruising pontoon about a week before we headed up and made the reservation for 10:30am for 6 people. Little did we know the current heat wave would also be up in the mountains. Saturday morning the power was out all across Big Bear and we arrived right at our reservation time instead of early due to it taking 4 twenty somethings waaaay to long to get ready without power. The parking lot was packed and we got the last 2 parking spots. The staff was helping many large groups inside and we had to wait a bit. No big deal as we knew with the heat everyone would like to be out on the lake on this gorgeous day, and the woman who checked us in was very nice and attentive. Once checked in we were told we had been upgraded to a luxury pontoon due to so many bookings that day and no cruising pontoons available at our check-in time! North Shore Landing for the win! We went down to the dock and met the sweetest young woman working there. She had dark hair and an accent, but I didn't catch her name. She was awesome and funny and the whole family got a kick out of her. She is a superstar and was working her tail off! The pontoon was very nice and clean. Had to use a towel to get some spiderwebs off that had shown up in some different parts on the pontoon, but we were first in the boat that day and I know it is the mountains and the spiders show up every night and make some webs. No big deal and easily rectified. We got underway all in all about 20 minutes after our scheduled time and had a great time for the almost 4 hours we were on the lake! Made many laps around the lake, ate lunch, and had some drinks on the boat. Bummer the stereo and speakers did not work, nor the onboard sink, but we brought our own speaker and still were able to jam out. Everyone loved it and when we came back and the staff were very helpful with my terrible first parking attempt (been many years since I drove a boat) and then helped us all off and our items and took a great picture of all of us. Thanks for the great weekend and memories NSL!

Holloway's Marina and RV Park has long been our family's number one choice when it comes to easy…read moregoing and fun pontoon boat renting in Big Bear. Not only are they the most affordable option, they offer pet friendly pontoons. Our favorite to reserve is their standard 6 person pontoon boat. For a one hour rental, it is $95 plus $20 for fuel. One hour on the lake will go quickly though, so I definitely recommend renting for a 2 hour minimum- especially if you wish to do some fishing. A one hour rental I'd recommend perhaps for a quick sightseeing drive lunch around the lake (food and drink is permitted onboard). Either way, Holloway's Marina is our recommended go-to for a fun, affordable, pontoon boat rental on the beautiful Big Bear Lake.

Im not quite sure but I do believe they have a fee for parking. I could be wrong. It's the lake so there's little sandy spot where people lay out and fish. Not a wide stretch but pockets here and there. The boat launch area is quite big so it roomy which obviously it's the point. We didn't see any boats being launch but a lot of people getting in and off of kayaks from it. Most people were out having picnics, there's benches situated here and there looking out to the water. The view was beautiful with the mountains and ski slopes in the background. As well as all the lake front properties. Tons of people out and about enjoying the water in jet ski , kayak, some sailing and boat tours. Like mentioned, pockets of beaches here and there with people laying out and fishing. It was a bit windy but still nice out enjoying the view. It's a beautiful place for boating, beaching, fishing and picnics. If it's not busy, you'll get lucky with a spot in the sand.
