    Great staff , very helpful. We had a great time tubing with the pontoon…read more ..we plan on coming back soon.

    Incredibly easy, seamless boat rental from start to finish!…read more Online rental makes it easy to see what rentals they have, the days available & the times available. We live an hour and a half away & would not have come to Raccoon Lake if it wasn't for their boat rental! Unlike most boat rentals who only do pontoon rentals, Raccoon Lake also has ski boats & jet skis too. This is a fun thing to do with friends or even just as a couple. Staff is extremely easy-going but keep in mind that they still have rules you need to follow. Just don't be dumb & you'll be fine. We saw people trying to take their dog on the boat (which there are signs everywhere that say not to) and also saw people jumping off their boat while it was in motion. Don't be like those people. Be a smart human. You'll get a fine if you are stupid like this, so if you are hella rich then by all means, be stupid. The Lake is extremely large, so you won't get bored easily. We did 2 hours & thought that was the perfect amount of time! Keep in mind that in addition to your boat rental, you'll also need to pay for gas top-off (for reference, we used a quarter tank & paid $34 for a top off. They set their own gas prices). And you'll also need to pay to get into the State Rec Area ($7). Have fun, it's a blast & will definitely do the three hour round trip to go again!

    They doubled the price of renting a slip. It's now $50 a day. That's insane…read more The food is so so.

    Double charged us for the rental. They denied it even thought the BANK verified BOTH charges were…read morePURCHASES, not "pending". They still denied it. Pontoon ended up getting stuck on a sandbar. Couldn't see it at all. Accidents happen. They send someone to pull us out. He got stuck as well because he couldn't see it either. After towing us in, we were told another pontoon was stuck in the same spot. We were told it "happens all the time". When the last called to discuss the deposit. We were told they "need to make a rule to not go past Cove 5". So if this is already an issue, why is there no mention of it and why wasn't it marked at all? Ok so what. Keep the deposit for something that happens all the time. Sounds like a money trap to me. The staff used to be friendly and perky. Not so much anymore. They are all very monotone and act like they are miserable to be there. Out of the SEVERAL times I have been to this Marina ( also all of the people I've sent there) I have NO desire to go back. I get that things happen but if something is a known issue and still collecting deposits from people. That's down right dirty. Thank goodness the bank is on the ball and fixing the MARINA'S mistake. I hope people keep an eye on their accounts so that this doesn't happen to them.
