They were both awesome to deal with. Nice size pontoon boat for our family of four. More people could have fit on comfortably. 8 would probably be a comfortable amount at most, but you probably could fit more. Not sure more than 8 would be as comfortable. Plenty of room on the boat. We boated the entire day and even fished off the boat. The boat has a depth finder and fish finder as one unit on the boat. The boat seemed fairly new and in great shape. Plenty of comfortable seating cushions on the boat. It could have used more cup holders, though. Plenty of storage under the seats and cushions. We did several stops to swim while out on the lake. The lake is not very deep (Castle Rock Lake) so go more towards the center of the lake to swim. There it was around 15-20 feet deep. You could anchor there with no problems. Awesome ladder on the boat to get back in the boat from the water. With four in the boat, plenty of room to fish. Casting or bobber fishing. Fish finder on the boat was a nice touch. It helped find good areas to fish, but we had no luck catching any that day. Smooth ride while boating on Castle Rock Lake. Not many boats on the lake the day we were out on the lake. We didn't see many boats on the lake the whole time we were there. That's nice that the lake does not get too crowded with boat traffic. The boat has a Bluetooth radio to connect your phone for music and a nice music system for enjoying your boat ride. Overall smooth experience reserving the boat in advance and then getting out on the water. Kat showed us how to use the boat and then we were off on the lake boating. Seamless experience from reservation to turning the boat in at the end of the day. Highly recommend renting a boat from them on Castle Rock Lake. Just so you know, they operate out of a shack next door to the Shipwreck Bay Bar and Restaurant. The shack is located on the hill above their docks. There is a banner on the side of the shack that says Castle Rock Water Sports. That is where you start your day. For lunch while boating, the restaurant by the boat rental docks, Shipwreck Bay Bar and Grill, is great and so is the Dirty Turtle Bar and Grill just North of there via water. TIP: When filling your boat with gas at the end of your boating day before turning it in, go to the Dirty Turtle Restaurant/Bar down the way from the Castle Rock Water Sports docks. It's about half a mile or less North of their rental docks by water. The gas pump is by the Dirty Turtle Bar and Grill itself. You will have to pull the boat all the way into the marina by water and up to the dock right in front of the Dirty Turtle bar where the gas pump is at. Dock your boat there and go into the restaurant with your credit card. Tell the bartender that you want to fill-up your boat and they hold your card and turn on the pump for you. Go back out and fill your boat to full from the pump. The pump hose is pretty long and will stretch most of the way down the dock to fill your boat no matter where you dock it. After filling your boat with gas, go back into the bar and pay. They can put it on your card or you can pay cash instead. Knowing all this would have saved us some time, but we figured it out, finally. Enjoy!!!

Pictures really don't do it justice -- the cliffs and sandstone formations are much more impressive in person. The tour is about 2 hours long and includes two stops where you get off the boat to explore. One stop is at Witches Gulch where you walk through a narrow, mossy canyon that feels almost magical, and the other is Stand Rock where you can see one of the Dells' most famous rock formations up close. The guides did a great job sharing the history of the area, including how parts of the Dells were preserved from developers, which is why the scenery still looks so natural today. Overall it was a really relaxing and enjoyable tour. The views, the history, and being out on the river made it well worth it. Definitely recommend if you're visiting the Dells!

We rented a Pontoon Boat from Michael's Landing while we were in the area, mainly because we heard…read moreabout all the boats that go out to the island and drop anchor, and we wanted to do the same. When we got out to the island there were lots of other boats, people swimming and having fun, so we found a spot and dropped our anchor. We were getting ready to jump in the lake but we noticed that we had started drifting, so we pulled up the anchor and made sure we were in a shallow spot according to the depth gauge on the boat. We dropped anchor again...same thing...we just kept drifting. We tried several more times in various depths, but the anchor would not hold. We called to ask about this, I mean, how do you drop anchor wrong? We explained the issue and we were told that the anchors provided on the boats are not meant to anchor in sand! What? The whole lake bottom is sand! They did say they USED to provide sand anchors, but they cost $150 and people had lost them in the past so they stopped using those. They suggested we could try to pull the boat up really close to the island and then have someone get off the boat and carry the anchor onto the island and hook it on a rock or tree. REALLY? Okay, so now we have a boat that we can.t anchor! They did offer that we could drive all the way back and pick up another boat, but it would have the same anchor. Uh, thanks a lot! So now our plans for the day needed to change. We made the best of things, cruising around the lake and stopping at The Dirty Turtle (They have docks to tie up to). On our way back towards Michael's, we hit a sand bar and got stuck, even though the depth gauge said we were in 20ft. of water! A couple of us got out of the boat to push it off the sand bar. Once we pushed the boat to deeper water, we needed to get out and climb back aboard...which is when we discovered the ladder was broken! Yep, totally would not stay attached to the boat. Broken! Thankfully we all made it back on board. Once we returned the boat to Michael's, we went inside the bar and talked to the guy working there. When we told him our story, he said, "Oh, that ladder is still broken?" Are you kidding? They charged us $200 for the boat, and we agreed to pay for our gas upon return but after the fiasco we had, we said we did not think we got what we paid for and that we would not be paying the $28 we owed for gas, which seemed overly fair considering the situation. A couple of days later we got a call from a woman saying that we signed an agreement to pay for our gas, and we explained what happened,and why we didn't think we should be charged for the gas. She was extremely rude and said she would be charging our credit card for the gas and that we could go ahead and dispute it but they would dispute it back and we could go back and forth with the credit card companies and but we would lose. (Sounds like maybe we are not the first dispute their charges!) She also said that they have never had anyone say they could not anchor their boats. Listen, we are not idiots, we have rented pontoon boats every summer for the last 15 years and we have always been able to anchor! Stay away from this place, these boats, and especially these rude people! Any GOOD business person would have said, "I'm so sorry for your troubles on the lake and in an effort to make it up to you, the $28 in gas is on us". Agree?
