A staff member provides a comprehensive review of the boat and it's features, and then you are free to cruise the blue-green waters of the Chain O' Lakes all day. The pontoon (20' Hydrotherapy) was clean and comfortable, the canopy kept us shaded when the sun was hot, you have swim stairs in case you want to stop at a sandbar and cool off, and there were no issues at all with the motor. Plus they give you a map showing the lakes in the chain, detailing which ones are no-wake so the day was relaxing and trouble-free from start to finish.

Their friendliness and no-pressure approach made the whole experience very enjoyable. Tim carefully explained every feature of a particular kayak that interested me, most of which I never would have known it had. As a result I bought a great Old Town fishing kayak, from a great store, at a great price. If you are tired of the impersonal treatment at the big box stores, then you need to go to Adventure Outfitters.

Our boat had a raw water leak that was filling the engine compartment and they came to the rescue with some tools and a jumper pack since our battery also died. They did what they could but shortly after we determined that a hose actually had damage that could not be fixed on the water. I can't thank the team at Becker enough for trying to help, Alex, a younger gentleman and I'm assuming the owner, Thank you! We also launch our boat a Becker, they are very helpful and the launch is always well taken care of, you also don't need to worry about parking, they have plenty. We will be back and hopefully won't have any boat problems.

Very Disappointed I…read morerented a pontoon here over the 4th of July and will not be returning. The reservation process online was simple, and the office staff were friendly. Unfortunately, the actual boat was in terrible condition. The floor was patched with duct tape, the seats were ripped and covered in mold, and the life vests smelled so bad we couldn't use them. Thankfully, we brought our own. There was no depth or fish finder as promised, and essential safety equipment like a fire extinguisher, horn, and oar were missing or inoperable. When we asked staff about these concerns, we got blank stares and no answers. The boat itself was beat up with visible damage all over. It felt unsafe, and we didn't feel comfortable taking it far from the dock. For the price we paid, the condition was unacceptable. The advertising is misleading, and the equipment is not properly maintained. Renter beware--there are better, safer, and more honest options out there.
