Food was delicious, staff was very nice and attentive, and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend

The boat from the outside

Such a fun experience. We did the lunch cruise. Food was good, bar was good, amazing views. Staff was all friendly. Was hot inside the boat but it was nearly 100 degrees outside so that's to be expected. I would definitely recommend!

We went on the sunset cruise with the fireworks. What a great way to end the day with a great leisure cruise and end it with a big city fireworks show. Would recommend this cruise for anyone.

We went on the Christmas holiday cruise in December 22 and again this past Memorial Day 23 and brought friends visiting from California. Both cruises were awesome!! The food on these cruises were delicious and the crew members were very friendly and helpful. We will be back with more visitors.

It was such a nice experience but the food definitely could have been better! Corn was definitely from a can, Mac and cheese, and the chicken tenders were okay and the 'roll' it came with was hard as a rock. Definitely from the day before. But the views and experiences where definitely worth it! Just skip the lunch.

Noon narrated cruise

Nice, hot day on Lake of the Ozarks. Took the narrated cruise. Fun information but the best part outside the scenery was the drinks and pulled pork sliders. Best food bargain at the lake. Boats could use a good deep cleaning along with new flags. Sat on the bow most of the time and enjoyed seeing some of the homes from the water but there was smoking allowed and that totally ruined it. People can hold off smoking for a few hours. Please make it nonsmoking!

Lovely decorations

See all

The Celebration is a beautiful, clean boat with a sweet staff. It was an interesting tour and we very much enjoyed our time.

Our annual vacation to the Lake would not be complete without a lunch cruise on the Celebration!

Calling and checking on prices, The Getaway was the first that appeared to be interested in working with me and patiently explained they didn't do little (we were a party of five) fishing boats anymore. We ended up getting a new Tritoon that could probably hold a dozen persons, no problem. Secured our fishing licenses and found the rental location where a young man was waiting with a side-by-side, willing to haul our gear down to the dock. Checking in was smooth and easy, instructions were given, and directions and ideas shared on the best areas to fish. Well, the fishing wasn't great, although we changed location a few times, and we hoped to stop at a dockside restaurant, so returned the boat a bit early so we wouldn't go over our allotted time. The Tritoon performed beautifully (hair trigger on the throttle), powerful motors, shade, pockets for storage. They were right--the Triton was very stable, waves no problem. Expected to pay for gas in addition to quoted price but apparently overlooked or forgot about the cleaning fee. The young man hauled our gear back up the hill. Would love to return with a larger party and really have some fun.

Bergers Marina - Airing out inside conents

Extensive Damage, Poor Accountability - Boat Left Molded, Undriveable, and Uncompensated…read more As someone who's owned and maintained boats for over 20 years, I try to support local marinas when possible but my experience at Berger's Marina was by far the most frustrating, unprofessional, and costly I've ever had. I brought my boat in running perfectly for simple yearly preventative maintenance: an oil change, impeller, and routine filter work. I even brought all the parts they asked for. After their service, my boat was undriveable. The engine wouldn't accelerate properly, and it sat at their marina for three weeks while they tried to figure out what they missed. Only weeks later did Dan, the owner's son, admit that he missed a key internal filter that caused the problem. He even told me to my face: "I didn't know there was a filter up inside the engine." So I ordered the missing part on April 3rd which was weeks after their first failed repair. This wasn't a complex job, yet their oversight turned a one-day maintenance visit into a multi-week disaster. But it didn't stop there. I was told multiple times the boat was protected during this downtime. It wasn't. When I picked it up, it had clearly been left out in heavy rainstorms, resulting in: -Moldy, soaked canvas -Ruined carpet and vinyl -Water-damaged electrical system (radio and navigation lights dead) -Stained seating and floating gear -Hours of cleanup, drying, and damage control on my part In an email, Carolyn from Berger's stated: "We are very sorry... We did not know there was a cover for the boat... But as you well know, we've had a few major storms this spring." So yes, they acknowledged the damage and the storms, and admitted they didn't cover the boat or know there was a cover onboard (it was onboard, clearly visible). But despite this apology and multiple attempts to resolve things respectfully, they have: -Refused to take responsibility -Refused to offer compensation or insurance info -Deflected blame, suggesting I brought in a boat with "a list of issues"--false. I brought in a clean-running boat and had the before/after videos to prove it They even had the audacity to say in writing, "We take responsibility," while also stating their attorney says they bear no liability. That contradiction says everything you need to know. Sadly, my experience matches many other public reviews. Just look at what others have said: "Each time I have service performed, I find something wrong" "Never done on time or put back together when they say" "Boat plug left out, batteries dead" "Tried to blame me for damage they caused" "Snippy, careless, and refuse to accept fault" I gave them multiple written opportunities to make this right. I even offered for them to go look themselves. They ignored all of them. So I've now filed with the Missouri Attorney General, Better Business Bureau, and plan to escalate this further through legal means and boating forums. If you value your boat and your peace of mind, take your business elsewhere. There are plenty of reputable marinas at the lake who will treat you and your equipment with the professionalism that Berger's clearly lacks. -- Jeff H.

Awful experience, workers are jerks, paid 20 dollars to launch boat and was told to leave. As a…read morebusiness owner, I like to support local businesses but this was the worst and most terrible customer service I've ever seen. Don't go here. Impatient people.
