We were very surprised that we were able to rent a pontoon same day for 3 hrs. We made reservations over the phone and were able to split the costs when we arrived. We've driven pontoons before but the instructions on how to operate their equipment was helpful and direct. The boat was very clean, all equipment (life jackets, anchor, radio, canvas umbrella) meticulously maintained. The weather was perfect. We will definitely use them again.

Great service, competitive pricing, and fun experience!…read more We rented a pontoon boat for 2 hours for 11 people on a busy weekend. I booked weeks in advance and had some questions, which were answered to my satisfaction over the phone. We booked it for the TC condominium location. The only negative is that I wish they warned me over the phone or somewhere on their website that there were no change rooms... most people had to change in the car. The location/parking was easy to find, but there were no signs anywhere to direct us to the check in location on the beach (small hut). I called the phone number for the business and someone picked up right away though and directed us to check in. The rest of the trip was smooth sailing (literally)! The check in process was efficient with the usual signing of waivers, safety talk etc. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped us get on to the boat safely and also helped us bring up the cooler, which was beyond our expectations. The boat was in good condition and we had no issues with it. Once our 2 hours was up, we made our way back to the dock where the staff were ready to help us dock and get out of the boat. They all seemed like very hardworking and eager employees! Overall, it was a wonderful experience! Everyone was super helpful and we had a blast!

Rented a Pontoon from MK Marine for a day on Torch Lake. Had a positive experience with MK Marine…read moreoverall. Would rent from them again. The great: the Pontoon we rented was new and pristine, the staff was very helpful and courteous, the setup they have is nice (they put the boat in the river for you, they bring the boat to your car after to unload, they have a nice changing room, bathroom was good, etc.). The not so good (as it relates to your experience as a boater): going through the Torch River to get to the lake itself. For experienced folks this probably is not a big deal but for beginners (like myself) it was white knuckle in and out with some narrow spots and traffic. If you knick the prop you have to buy them a new one. I was so nervous and didn't want to knick it I had it up higher than most. This makes the boat harder to steer and makes the river that much harder to navigate. They should consider offering prop insurance prior and that way you boat stress free! Once you get on Torch this is a non issue because the lake is huge and you can see the shallow spots with ease. Side Note: when coming back you'll have to u turn to dock and get gas from MK on the river (if you need some). Watch out for a sunken dock/bridge/rock hazard next to the dock on left prior to your u turn! Only a white floating log marks this treachery and you won't know it is to be avoided until almost the last minute.

We did not and would have been happy to pay the $1000 fee if we did. They sent "proof" that it wasn't damaged before but it was a picture that wasn't even of the spot that was damaged. My family member posted a review on here about our experience and the owner proceeded to call her husband and berate him for the review. He then hung up the call. Very unprofessional. Use caution when renting from them and make sure you document your boat before going out.

We were told to be at the landing at 10:30 for an 11 o'clock reservation. We were greeted with a man very irritated with us dropping off our coolers and bags. Apparently we were supposed to walk everything down from the parking lot. Not a problem but we were not told and there wasn't a sign. We didn't need to start our day with attitude but no big deal. The boat shows up at 11:10. We now have been waiting for 40 minutes. Kind of irritating but we are looking forward to a good day, so again, we shake it off. We take the boat out and it immediately stalls. We can not go faster than a very slow speed. We tried calling for about a half hour with no answer. We finally get someone and they say the fix to this problem, is to go sit at the sand bar for half an hour. Didn't send anyone out, they just want us to go sit. After sitting for about 1-5 to 2 hours, trying to make the best of the situation, we tried it again and it's still stalling. After calling them back again, they were angry with US. We are now arguing with them by phone and text in the middle of the lake on our fun day out. They have no solution and the only thing they offered was to take $100 off of our rental. We couldn't use the boat or the tubes and paid $600 for the day. The last thing they said, as you can see from the picture of the text, is that we need to still pay for the gas and "congratulations" on making them give us money back. They couldn't have been more petty at this point. We would have been more upset with the absurdity of them asking that, but we didn't use any gas because THE BOAT DIDN'T WORK. They ended up refunding us $225 after all that. We still paid too much but it's not worth the fight. Sometimes things happen that are unfortunate, but to be treated so terribly the entire time was just not right. To get nasty with us and not even come out to see if they could fix the boat, was unprofessional. The text message was rude and uncalled for. I would not recommend this company and certainly would never use them again.
