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.

This company is ran by a bunch of very young kids, and when renting out boats that go out onto a…read morevery busy lake it's unacceptable. We own two boats and have rented boats numerous times. We know our way around boat rental companies, lake rules and how to operate water devices. Yesterdays experience was so unprofessional it was hard not to just walk away, but because we had 6 young kids who were excited for a 'boat day' we kept moving forward. Upon arrive we noticed that we had an older boat. It looked small, had bird poop and spider webs all over it. I had to wipe everything down. The back rope tie by the ladder was cracked and we had to wrap it with a towel so our kids did not scratch themselves on it. We asked to switch to the newer boat and were lied to that the owner had the keys and were not on property. That is 100% false. They also did not have kid life jackets. How do you rent out boats and not have kids life jackets? Mind blowing to me. What they offered to us was from 1996. The other life jackets were way too large for our 7 year olds. Completely unsafe. They also didn't have any adult life jackets to offer us. We had to use the orange Titanic versions of life jackets for the adults. The captains chair was broken. So my husband had to sit on up on his feet to see over the top of the boat. How dangerous is that? The child who got us in the boat said "I will make sure and write that down so we don't charge you for that"... ummm how about let's talk about how dangerous this is? We made our way to our favorite spot on Grapevine lake and we turned the boat off so we could swim in the water. After 45 minutes we tried to turn the boat back on and the key broke in half. I called the office and I was answered with a 'hello'. They then could not figure out where we were on the lake. Mind blowing to me. My husband finally got the boat started with his pocket knife. We made our way back to the store. When we arrived the person asked if we had a good time like we were going to get off. We still had over an hour left on our rental. My husband went inside to speak to the 'manager' and he told my husband THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE KEY WE BROKE. What on earth? Absolutely not. That's how you greet a customer after getting stranded on the lake from your rental boat. My husband said we want to move to a new boat and GUESS WHAT?? They magically had the keys to the boat we wanted in the first place. We moved our items over to the new boat (with no help from the staff) and finished the rest of our rental time. They didn't offer any discount. We were all so tired we didn't have time to speak to the 'manager' that was on site. We have lived in Grapevine since the 70s. I will NEVER recommend this place to any one. What a horrible experience and customer service.

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.

When I tried to book it the price was different (still had the $1079 price but checkout was different) so I gave a call to check in. When the price was given to the lady on the phone... she laughed at me. I was then told that it was priced incorrectly and we would not be able to get it for that price. The price went from $1079 to $1709. I can see where it can from but I do believe thy price should have been given due that price being shown for over a month. Just from the customer service of the phone call alone... I do not recommend.

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.
