Steven B. BEWARE: I got shafted royally by this place and as…read morefar as I'm concerned, they give Colorado a bad name. I have a Mercury 225hp outboard, my alarm was going off and I didn't know what was causing it, I call Island Lake Marina and made appointment for 008-15-2024. They told me my low-level oil float was stuck causing the alarm to sound off and that I would have to have the tank replaced because the float is built in and not replaceable. Its the small tank on the motor. But other than the alarm going off its okay to drive.. They charged me $150.00 ... Then told me another tank would cost $140.00 and an hour labor for installation $150.00, total $290.00. Brought it back on 10-02-2024 and went to pick it up on10-03-2024. The lady at the counter shows me the bill and I was totally stunned $730.08. I realize shops have a 10% give or take but this was ridiculous. I was told he put an inline filter, check valve and a cap where you pour the oil in to the main tank because the old one was hard to get off. $60.00 for those, for a total of $199.00 for parts, Adding another $60.00 to the original estimate, would bring it to $350.00. I was being charged over double. Screwing a cap on, small inline filter and check valve could be done by me in less than 15 minutes. That does not justify another $350.00 and I'm sure purging out the air was figured in on the original estimate. That has to be done on any tank replacement. Oh, and lets not forget the $150.00 I paid for them to say I need the tank, which should have been deducted since they did the work. Brings the total to $880.08 for replacing a tank with 3 bolts in it.. Then when we were hooking my boat up, my girl said the key was left in it in the on position. I get home, friends are waiting, hook up the water and all my batteries in it was dead as a door nail and would not turn over. Then I look down on the side they were working and my taillight on my trailer broken. I was so mad. I felt like I was sucker for punishment. Paid $880.08 , dead battery and broken light, for a $350.job... I will regret taking my boat there for a longtime or the rest of my life, since I'm over 65. Attached photos

We saw rabbits, squirrels, a flick of pelicans and more than a handful of herons. There are benches, trash cans and doggie pick up bags in multiple places.

Also the process to buy pictures was absolutely ridiculous. There was no organization in it at all. We had to sit and watch slideshows to find what number pic ours was to buy. Seems like there is a way to make that an easier process for your customers. Would most definitely do again from this company but I do believe they could make some improvements on the photography and the way pictures are sold.

He talked us into doing a tad more vigorous rapid, (he wasn't trying to upsell us, but we were the only two that selected the lesser rapids and he was just letting us know that we would be getting off the river and rejoining. It was easier for everyone if we just stayed on the entire time.) We both enjoyed it thoroughly. Our guide, (his name escapes me, sorry! I know he is from Salida), was unbelievable and so accommodating of my daughter the entire time, making sure she was okay. He was SO nice and friendly and really funny. He also pointed out local points of interest that was pretty interesting. This is a great place and is the only place that I would go through for rafting in Fort Collins.

Boat broke down, promised refund, charged extra instead…read more I rented a pontoon from Boyd Lake Marina on 8/12/25, and the boat broke down within 15 minutes. My group lost nearly an hour of paid rental time waiting for help. The manager (with her daughter) confirmed the boat was inoperable, and after almost an hour of waiting for them to come help us and check the boat, we swapped boats with them. At checkout, the manager assured me l'd receive a partial refund and no gas charge. Instead, I was billed an extra $31.50. I followed up three times and was promised call-backs from the owner, Steve, but no one ever contacted me. After weeks of being ignored, I had to dispute the charge with my bank, which ruled in my favor and refunded 50% of my rental. It was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience.

BUYERS BEWARE! TOTAL SCAM! My husband and I had never…read morebeen on a motorboat much less driven one ourselves. A young man who was very nice helped us get on, he explained that we should stay 150 yards away from the shore to avoid any damage to the boat/propeller. We did exactly that, because it was literally our first time and we were very afraid of causing any damage. Upon return to the dock, a young employee was very matter of fact with a very stern expression and demeanor, telling us that we damaged the propeller. He did ask us if we recall hitting anything, and we did not... He then began to explain that we obviously did because the propeller was damaged and we were gonna have to pay for it. He then started throwing out numbers for the cost of the replacement. We were very adamant that we did not hit anything or go towards the shore as instructed. We asked for a manager, and Kevin Cox, the very confrontational manager, came walking out, holding the propeller up to my face, telling my husband and I that this is damage that we caused! He then began telling us that we are gonna pay for it, end of story! When I gave a rebuttal, telling him that I felt like this was a scam, he began to tell me that he knows for a fact that we drove near the shore! He began to make a scene and try to shame us in front of other customers... And when we responded, telling him he was full of it... He then called the police and told the police that we were causing a "verbal disturbance". We feel that he knew that the police could not force us to pay for the part so that was his cause for making an accusation of "verbal disturbance "! At that point, my husband said "let's go! "... Kevin Cox replied, "oh you're gonna leave, that means I have to go with you!"We walked about 3/4 of a mile and he followed the entire way. At that point, we sat down on a park bench... And he just stood there. We finally just got up and told him to quit following us and he stayed behind as we took off. We circled back around and to get our vehicle which was parked on their property... And saw a police officer there. We flagged the officer down, to speak with him about the matter. The officer was very courteous and friendly, and remained neutral. He did say that it was a possibility that we did cause the damage and didn't feel it, or know it and that Kevin Cox was probably going to charge our credit card for the cost of the propeller...he also stated that if we dispute the charges, he could potentially take us to Small Claims Court! It was a good thing I video recorded Fred's demeanor and him following us because I was able to show the police officer who let us walk because we did nothing wrong. Horrible customer service, a big time scam, by the way, the propellers are plastic... Which I believe is why they are easily damaged... But Kevin Cox told us that we were lucky it was plastic because if it was metal, it would cost double the amount!! ‍
