Renting a boat from Big Bear Marina turned out to be the absolute highlight of our trip and far exceeded our expectations. We rented for an hour and a half to cruise around the lake, and the cool breeze out on the water was an instant relief from the hot weather. Even our two teenagers didn't complain once--which is a major win! They thoroughly enjoyed the ride and loved connecting to the Bluetooth speaker the marina provided so they could play their own music. It set such a fun vibe that I even found myself trying to dance on the boat (much to everyone's amusement). The heat eventually drove us home a day early, but this boat ride made the trip worthwhile. It's the one thing we'll definitely do again the next time we visit Big Bear!

The jet ski worked really well, was clean, full tank of gas, and no problems at all.

There was a dock to park the jet skis and no one else was there, the guy preparing the food was helpful in answering our questions about the menu. Lovely views of the lake from the seating area. All very rustic, but right by the lake, which is the main attraction. We got the loaded quesadillas, which I thought were just fantastic. Unfortunately, they had no grease so all the french fry options were off the table and they were out of chicken... We enjoyed our time there and would most likely stop by again in the future.

SCAM --- Horrible company to deal with. We rented RZR Turbo with trailer, 4 helmets and googles but…read morein return we were given and old beat up RZR 1000 with flat front tire. Not only that, our drop off was between 9-10am, We reached there 9:30 after leaving a msg when we will arrive, the guy showed up @ 10:45am. Pick up and drop off was shady behind someone else's house and neighbors told us that they always gave their address for some reason. They was very unhappy with Mike and his crew too. Here's a list of things that were wrong:- - Left side trailer tail light not working. - Bent trailer & hitch - Front Right Flat RZR tire - Back left bald & plugged tire. - Ordered & paid for RZR Turbo but got RZR 1000. - Check engine light on all the time. - Unsafe for dunes or anywhere, got stuck on small dune, no power. - Was delivered dirty. - Left trailer low tire pressure. - Loose cables, wiring, trim. - Insufficient strength ties down for RZR. - Dirty helmets, broken & cracked goggles. No Customer service. Pure SCAM. DO NOT USE THEM. Wont pick up my calls.

The last time we stopped by it was pretty busy that there was no parking so we just gave up. This…read morevisit, we found parking right outside which was perfect. 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.
