    Sam's Dock - Silver Lake Marina - Our kiddos have a great day on the lake!

    Sam's Dock - Silver Lake Marina

    (34 reviews)

    We wanted to do something fun with the kids. We originally planned to rent from another business…read morebut they didn't do rentals because of the lake flooding. They recommended we try Sam's Dock. The hours of the business say they close at 8 pm. No where on their site or at their location do they state the last rental was at 6 pm. We arrived at 6:02 and the woman wouldn't rent a jet ski to us. It was disappointing for the kids but we decided to return the next day. We arrived with plenty of time to rent a jet ski. There were 5 of us but it turns out we can't rent a jet ski for 3. Because of this, we didn't want to leave one child alone at the dock so we opted to rent one jet ski and my husband took the kids out to the lake one at a time. We sat at the restaurant, which was closed, in between the kids' turns. The minimum rental is 2 hours on the jet skis and you have to pay for gas on top of the rental fee. This was a surprise to us. We ended up having to pay an extra $50+ for the gas for 2 hours. Just be aware of that. This side of the lake there wasn't any parking fee so that was good. I think they provided us with a military discount, which was great. My husband mentioned the young man didn't know how to use the point of sale computers either. It took at least 30 minutes to check in and pay before getting on the jet ski so make sure to factor in that your timing.

    Rented a boat here. Reserved the boat weeks in advance. Get…read morethere and they had the reservation incorrect. So they give us some pontoon boat that is in horrible shape literally falling apart and in disrepair. It had dozens of big cockroaches come out of the well, the fender was literally falling off of it and needing screwed back in. Also there were very dangerous screws hanging off it that someone could have easily ended up in the hospital over. What's worse is the young dark haired kid that receives the boats back in was rude and when we wanted to bring up these safety issues when returning the boat not only did not care to listen was rude and walked off while trying to explain the safety issues on the boat we had rented. Simply did not care About safety of their future guests. Did not have the time or customer service skills and did not take the safety seriously literally walked off while we were trying to explain the issues with the boat. Because of that last one. The safety issue, and because of the roach infestation, we cannot recommend this boat rental or marina. Roach infestations And lack of focus on safety are both showstoppers.

    Shared from Google…read more Paid for classes in April. Waited on the instructor to set up a class until July, but he was out of town. I requested a refund in July, and was told the instructor was out of town again and would reach out when he returned. It's now September and I've heard or received nothing. This is highly unacceptable for an organization that claims it supports wounded warriors and disabled veterans. 10/2/2021 In response to the owner's response. I do appreciate taking ownership for missed communication, but expeditiously means "in a timely manner". My original request for a refund was 3 months ago, and as of today I have yet to see the refund. Once the refund is seen, I would be more than happy to return the knot rope, cert book, textbook, and the drawstring backpack they came in. Aside from that, I was offered for my family and I to attend a discovery sail at no cost. I declined due to time constraints now that summer break has ended. I will say this. I chose this school based on the reviews found on Google and Facebook which are really great, and at the recommendation of the ASA. I'm sure the captain is great and believe that other people may have had great experiences here, this is just mine. Take it for what it's worth. 4/22/22 We are now in to a year since I started this process, and this company has yet to make good on their "expeditious" refund. Nothing whatsoever.

    The double decker boat with slide & jet ski from Sam's dock was awesome!!…read more They made the rental process so easy. They also gave us an additional 2 hours free of charge since the rain/storm caused us to push back our rental time. They are very Accommodating & understanding!! We are definitely coming back next year!!

    I called about 3 weeks before the day we wanted to rent. Booked a Tri ton for all day and 12 full…read moresize adults. I made sure on the call that it would be comfortable for all of us. Specifically requesting a Tri-toon. ​We showed up on the saturday we booked for and they said they had us on a ski boat. I told them no so they gave us a boat. This boat had many broken areas and was infested with ants and roaches! We found some on the dock which they provided glass cleaner to us to spray the bugs....OK. when we got out on the water and went to get the life jackets that compartment was infested with roaches. The engine was leaking gas so there was a distinct gas smell the whole time. And a fish smell. Which we chalked up to being at the lake. When we pulled back up and started unloading g our stuff we found a full trash bag in a compartment under the front seats that had fish guts in it among other trash. They did comp my gas at the end. Which was only a quarter of a tank. They clearly gave us the spare boat or something since they got the reservation wrong. We made the most of it but that is ridiculous. We were also one of the first groups there and the only group with a full day rental. Wont rent here again unless they give me a day free. Be careful. Dont accept the red boat. Yall do better. ​

    I booked a sailing afternoon with Captain Doug for my family of 5. The wind Gods were not happy…read morewith the hot summer, so we had to postpone the sailing until the conditions were right. Captain Doug was great at communicating about this, he understood that my 3 kids (7,6 & 4) were not going to be happy in those calm conditions because it tends to be too hot and a little boring. After a couple of reschedules, we went out on a cloudy day. We were a little concerned about rain but this man knows his weather and assured us it would be fine - maybe a couple of specks of rain, and it was exactly like that. Besides, he told us about his bimini (the big umbrella-like top that covers the whole sitting area) in his beautiful Lady Anne, a 30' Catalina boat, and exactly how to dress for the occasion. My kids were super excited, more about the innards of the boat, which he graciously let them explore, than anything. They went to see the cabins and the head (bathroom), and they were thrilled about the kitchenette. Then he let them grab the wheel, and at the same time he taught my wife and me about pulling the sails up, getting the front sail (Genoa) nice and tight, and a very awesome general 101 about sailing. We had a blast out there, realizing that Lake Lewisville is bigger than we knew. For a few hours, we forgot about everything else, we were the crew of a sailing boat that was able to harness the wind power to move pretty fast. We zig-zagged through the lake, then under a bridge where the Captain commanded the 3 little crew members to yell their lungs out (while taking some energy off, thanks!!), and then back to the marina. The whole afternoon created some memories that will be with us forever.

    Thanks to Doug, I now feel a safe and confident sailor. He…read morealso taught me how to maintain and fix a few things on a boat. His skills come with an extreme kindness and patience. I am deeply thankful for what he shared with me.
