Jet Funn

I recently moved to the area from Chicago and wanted to rent a boat. I saw some negative reviews,…read morebut I decided to give Jet Fun a chance because most people don't leave positive reviews. It's usually a disgruntled customer for one reason or another, so I gave them a chance, and I'm so happy that I did. Nancy and Kevin were wonderful. They had a full staff, and everyone was very helpful. As a first-time pontoon boat renter, I was very nervous, but the process was made easy. There was an informational video, as well as formal instructions from the staff, which helped me quickly learn how to operate the boat safely and confidently. With the guidance provided by both the video and the staff, I felt comfortable giving it a try, and it turned out to be a great experience. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend Jet Fun to anyone looking to rent a boat in the area.

I've literally came here for years and year after year it's the same thing…read more.. The word luxury premium pontoon boat What you get : no working radio mold and nasty carpet non working gauges They will pretend you are getting a working radio etc until you get there and it's too late and you have a nice silent 10 person boat ride for the day Gas You will be charged for gas ... gas is available on the lake you can fill it yourself They will refuse you to not fill any gas that isn't them filling it and with not one single boat or ski in their inventory with a working gas gauge most people don't realize that these boats don't hold more than 10-15 gallons of gas but will tell you it holds a million dollars of gas and will charged you as much as they can without you thinking it's impossible Customer service the owner - Kevin is insane They will tell you you broke things you didn't or make up that your prop was damaged it's always something As much as this place could have been fun and nice it's always some big scam or hassle I've prolly rented 15-20 times in 12 years here and not one time has it been what it was suppose to be. Last time I tried to confirm my boat had a working radio made sure it was the best they had and then the bait and switch you pull up your friends look at you and are like are you serious you have broken gauges moldy carpet no working radios even tho you triple checked ahead of time and them smiling when you pull back up pretending like you burned 100 gallons of gas in your tiny pontoon yacht that has a 12 gallon tank - just save the hassle Not sure where I'm gonna go this year to rent but this place just isn't worth the nightmare the boats and skis are ancient nothing works how you gonna charge me for gas with no gas gauge and even try to play like the tank holds 200 in gas they are literally Crazyyyy don't walk away runnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I won a free boat detail from The Boat House of Chicago through a TikTok giveaway, and I couldn't…read morebe happier with the experience! My boat looks absolutely amazing. The detail crew did an incredible job and you can tell they really take pride in their work. They had the entire boat looking great in just one day! Connor facilitated everything for me and made the whole process extremely easy from start to finish. Great communication and great customer service. A huge thank you to Connor and especially the detail crew for all the hard work they put into making my boat look this good. I would absolutely recommend The Boat House of Chicago and will definitely be using them again!

A follow-up to my earlier experience with The Boat House Chicago (Bald Knob Rd, Johnsburg). After…read moremany failed attempts, they have finally gotten the motor to run -- but the boat will only move forward. It won't go in reverse, which means it still isn't usable. When I called back about this, I was told that their job was only to make the motor run, not to make the boat drive. That response says everything about the service department here. A boat that can't go in reverse can't be launched, docked, or operated safely, and being told that isn't their concern is unacceptable. My dealings with the service department, and with Tanner in particular, have been consistently frustrating. I've been more than patient through repeated failed repairs, and I still don't have a working boat. I would strongly caution anyone before relying on this service department.

We bought our second boat from them this spring. The first was 4 years ago and they handled all…read moreservice work. Each year we had valet service there in the summer and stored with them in the winter. That should say something there - they treated us so well 4 years AFTER our first purchase, that we purchased another from them. The Service Team is top notch - and very quick. Anytime we have a question Tim is quick with a reply, which is better than great! Best of all, he is quick to schedule service work and it is always done on-time, and usually before. Their service department exceeds my expectations, which is tough sometimes with boat repair! Everyone is super nice, and as another reviewer noted, they greet us by name whenever we call or stop in. Other places do that too, but we really feel like a part of the Munson "family". Plenty of parking for the docks, and very quiet. Not a lot of thru boat traffic at all. So, buying a boat, or leasing a dock is an easy recommendation from us!

I bought a pontoon boat from Munson Ski & Marine about 3 years ago. And after 3 years I can't say…read moreI've been happier...until today. My salesperson at the time, Peter Biasco, was outstanding and thoroughly knowledgeable about his product as well as the competitive marketplace. He advised me on what was great, what was not necessary to meet my needs, and what was the best way to go with the boat in terms of how do I outfit it. All of his recommendations have proven to be outstanding. Fast forward to 3 years later and I happen to have had a problem with the cover that covers the Bimini when it's down. Unfortunately, I got a tear in it, and I reached out to Peter on how I should handle the process. Honestly I wasn't sure what I was going to get because Peter was my salesperson and not involved with service, per se, but he really stepped up. Not only did he listen to my concern about the tear, he went through the process of checking into the warranty, checking with his service people, and as a result, I'm getting a brand new bimini because of his efforts. I'm very grateful that I picked Munson as my place of purchase, and I'm grateful that I had Peter as my original salesperson--someone I could turn to 3 years later when I had my first problem. He picked up the ball and ran with it and scored a SERVICE touchdown. Thank you, Peter. I appreciate your help very much. So, if you're looking to buy a boat and you need help, I highly recommend Munson and I highly recommend that when you walk in the door, you ask for Peter. You won't be disappointed... Ever!
