I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any sailboat-related work. Their staff is also very experienced. Fiberglass repair, rigging issues, replacement stays and sheets, they can do it all, and usually with a joke or a fun story. Highly, highly recommend.

Now because of this they decided to not allow me to renew my slip as payback. I have an email from Jason and boatworks that says I can send a check in and keep my slip just last week; I did send a check in and of course they say they did not get it . Instead, they gave my slip away to someone else. They are upset i made a big deal about someone breaking into my boat. This is very clear this is payback. The kids caused damaged to my boat and they did nothing about it. Every year this happens they refuse to enforce the rules. The city of white bear lake owns this, and they have done nothing about the problem.

Dropped my boat off before they opened , called them at open and said I wanted to pick it up before it starts raining .. no problem.. they never called , drive there at 430pn, boat was sitting on the street where I left it 9 hours earlier. I asked him why did I make an appointment two weeks ago for today if they weren't even going to touch it? His exact words. "That's how we do business".. for you long time customers I'm sure you're ok with how they do business, but for anyone thinking about using this place , BEWARE!!

Perfect day on the lake. The staff were welcoming and insightful. Before we left the dock, they…read moreadvised us of the areas to avoid on the lake (rocks, low water levels, etc.). The boat was nice and clean (maybe 2-3 years old showed some signs of use/wear/tear). Try to carpool with your group, as there isn't much parking. It's a BUSY lake, so be mindful of choppy waters and other boaters. If you are wanting post-up at one area for most of the day for swimming and hanging out, it's the perfect lake for that. Had a great time! Thanks, Your Boat Club!

I spent the afternoon in Stillwater, Minnesota. It is a small, scenic town located on the banks of…read morethe St. Croix river. I'm not feeling well, so we didn't do much walking. There were several specialty shops and small cafes. I liked the boat club and took photos of the riverboats. The river was frozen in spots so I wasn't able to take a boat ride. The town was bustling with locals and visitors. I plan to visit again during the summer. If you're even in the Minneapolis area, I highly suggest you visit this town and boat club.

So here is the deal...We rented a nice pontoon boat. We drove the nice pontoon boat down the river…read moreto a sandbar and hung out for an hour. When we tried to start our pontoon boat it was no longer nice. Our boat would not start (the starter had failed). We called the Stillwater boat club and 1hour and 45 minutes later they arrived with a different pontoon boat. Now, I could name the young man who brought the pontoon boat down for us but I don't want to get too personal. I just want to say that we were told, by the fore mentioned young man, that there would be a discount on the fuel and the rental to make up for our time marooned. Here is what we received: An approximate discount on fuel of $10 and a promised $50 discount on the next $490 pontoon rental (gas included). Moral of the story: If you would like to give up 20% of your time on a pontoon and receive a credit for that loss of enjoyment of 10%, go to the Stillwater Boat Club and Rentals. -John C.

He was very patient with the 5 of us in his group. Two individuals had a hard time equalizing and he took his time with them till they were able to descend the required depth. He was very knowledgeable and gave advice in gear options. I enjoyed the in water experience and look forward to my future dives.

Update: Spoke with the owner and another instructor. They were very apologetic and want to make it right.

Instructor was impatient, rude, not thorough, and belittled members of our group. Worst experience ever and honestly ruined scuba diving for me and my daughter. Run.

Buffet is tasty and plentiful. The ramp is a little steep if you have walking issues and the boat (Avalon) has three tiers so you will need to climb steps. I write this not as discouragement, but a heads up just so you understand potential challenges.
