This review is strictly for the marina, not boat sales. DO NOT RENT A DOCK SLIP FROM THIS MARINA…read more I had a very bad experience with Lake Hopatcong Marine Corporation, particularly with the Sales Manager, Ryan. This marina is very greedy and only cares about making money. They do not care about their customers. I joined the marina in August of last season, well after the boating season had already begun. Even though I was only getting the last part of the boating season, they would not offer any prorated or end-of-season discount on the dock slip, so I paid the full amount because I understood that was their policy. When I first moved into my slip, I discovered there was a large cinder block sitting on the bottom that was completely hidden underwater. It wasn't visible from the surface and could have easily caused serious damage to my boat if I hadn't noticed it. I was surprised that the slip wasn't inspected and cleared before it was assigned to a customer. At the end of the season, my boat was one of the last scheduled to be hauled out for winterization. As the level dropped, the water around mv slin became extremely shallow. I asked if I could temporarily move my boat to a nearby empty slip that had deeper water for just a few days until my scheduled haul-out to prevent my boat from bottoming out. The slip was completely vacant for the season, yet my request was denied. I found it frustrating that such a simple accommodation wasn't made, especially when it would have helped protect my boat and wouldn't have inconvenienced anyone. After being forced to sign/pay my 2026 dock slip contract in October or I'd lose my slip (seven months before the season would even begin) I had an unexpected move out of state due to my job. I notified the marina months before the boating season started, giving them plenty of advance notice that I would no longer be able to use the slip. I wasn't asking for a full refund. I simply asked if they would meet me halfway and refund half of my dock slip fee as a goodwill gesture, especially considering I had paid full price the previous season despite not getting my slip until August. Ryan refused to work with me in any way or offer any reasonable compromise. I understand that contracts are important, but customer service and treating loyal customers fairly should matter too. Given the amount of notice I provided and the fact that they had ample time to rent the slip to someone else before the season even started, I expected at least some flexibility. Instead, I was met with a complete unwillingness to help.

Just like the others have said this place is a COMPLETE SCAM!…read moreOne of the worst small business' across any type, that I have ever been a customer of. Specifically speaking for car/boat purchases, I have purchased over 12 different cars and boats for me and family members, I have bought from several shady sales people before but NO ONE is as bad as Lake Hopatcong Marina. I purchased a brand new boat there 3 years ago, I was told Yamaha had a promotion that extended the warranty from 3 years to 5 years. Just short of my 3 year anniversary my motor had issues. I called Lake Hopatcong Marina, no one picked up, so I left a voicemail. No one called back after a few days, so I called again. Again, no one picked up. 5 weeks later, I called again, this time someone "not in the services department" picked up, but she could not help me so she took a message. Days later I did not hear back, called again, this time I FINALLY got someone in the services department. He told me that my warranty was 3 years not 5 years like they promised on two different occasions, and now that it took almost two month to finally get someone in the services department that my warranty expired and they would have to charge me an INSANE amount of money to "attempt" to fix my problem. STAY FAR away from this company, just liars and scammers with no customer service value whatsoever.

This was an awesome impromptu boat outing. Hubby got his boating license during the pandemic and we…read morehave been renting boats ever since. It's a nice sense of freedom during vacations and even in our hometown. We've rented boats from many places but usually private owners. Renting at Greenwood Lake was a pleasantly different experience. We originally planned a full Saturday outing with a large group of friends but due to some unfortunate circumstances, many of them could not make it for that day and because the weather initially forecasted unfavorably, we decided to cancel the boat. Luckily, we were able to receive a 100% refund earlier around Wednesday/Thursday. The weather forecast ended up changing and looking way more favorable, so we decided to book a 3 hour rental with just hubby, our little kiddo and myself. I was concerned because there were only very early or late afternoon bookings but we settled on a 4-7p rental. They're located a little over an hour from us and they have lots of parking. You might have to wait a bit for customers to leave and for spits to open up in their main parking area but there is additional parking located within walking distance. We lucked out with some parking right in front. The upside with booking here is that they have a convenience store located at the rental office. You can add additional incidentals to your booking, including coolers, ice, waters, tubes, floating islands, kayaks, etc. You can even book a captain if you're not comfortable with or have no experience driving boats. They prefer you to arrive 45 minutes prior to your booking if it's your first time driving, or 30 minutes prior if you've driven before. We arrived 30 minutes prior, parked and hubby completed the booking transaction at the office before we headed down to the dock to retrieve our boat. There was a bit of a wait as the boat had been taken out and we were awaiting it's return. The pontoon boat we had, Cast Away, is on the older side. It has carpet which is super weird when wet (kinda gross but you get used to it). They must take very good care of it because, despite being carpeted, it showed no signs of mildew or smells or anything. It was just weird but I know many homes in the 70s had carpeted bathrooms so, go fig? Our original boat was the double-decker with slide and it looked to be newer. They have CLEAN portable bathrooms on the premises and many, "hands on deck", to assist with docking and un-docking. Kevin, one of the guys working here, helped us to take the boat out of the slip. He showed us where we should go and we set off. Because we only had a few hours, we drove south a bit, anchored in the sun and enjoyed a day of swimming before heading back to the bock. Kevin met us once again, and docked the boat for us. All that was left was to pack up our car and head home. We had an awesome time and will most definitely be back. We'll definitely plan better and get a newer boat. Pro Tip: take the less than 15 minute drive over to Bellvale Farms Creamery for some deliciously creamy ice cream (homemade with their own cows milk!) and sunset views...a wonderful end to an amazing day.

Did you know that Lake Hopatcong is NJ's largest freshwater lake?…read more And did you also know that there's a great little place on the lake that lets you rent all sorts of strange inventions like a 'pedalboard' and a 'hydrobike' (along with the classics like kayaks and paddleboards) - so you can cruise along the lake, get a bit of exercise, fill those lungs with fresh air and more importantly... work up an appetite (so you can hit The Windlass right after)? I tell you it's true. All true. There were six of us (celebrating a birthday) - 5 on hydrobikes, 1 on a pedalboard. The lake is drop dead gorgeous and we went when it was still early and a bit overcast so it wasn't too crowded with boats and jet-skis and the like. (Waves/wakes from other boats can really dampen your own fun... so that stuff matters a bit.) But I gotta be honest: it was a lot of work. Unlike a kayak where you might get a nice 'bite' with your oar and can coast a bit... the bike is akin to being pneumatic (you stop pedaling and you almost immediately come to a halt as well). And those seats? They are not comfortable at all. Sore dupas all around (the following day as well, actually). But we all had a great time. The crew (Patty and Joe, I believe) were really cool, total professionals, and we always felt like we were safe as well having a great time exploring some of the lake and adjoining islands and whatnot. (We would definitely return in the future but would lean towards a kayak and not do the bikes again.) Wear sunblock, bring water, not sure if it was just me but my right foot was pretty soaked by the end whereas my left was dry (so you'd be better off wearing an old ratty pair of sneakers, regardless). Post-pedal was The Windlass (excellent) as well as some mini-golf (also excellent). Lots to do in this lovely part of Jersey. (But it'll cost ya!)

A cousin of mine tried the hydrobikes and lived it, so I thought I would give it a try. I asked a…read morefriend to come with me and he said it looked like a pain in the ass. I made a reservation online. Patty was so friendly and made it a great time! She let me use some sun block and fill up my reusable cup at their water fountain. She told me that I would probably like the standup paddle board better because it had better maneuverability. I took her advice. It was a lot of excise and fun as we rode around and she told me about the history and pointed out different areas around the lake. We even picked up some trash from inside the lake and it made me happy to know that there are good people out there who are also passionate about the environment. It was hot and I "accidentally" fell in and got to enjoy the water a little bit. Patty also gave me restaurant and hiking recommendations around the area and even took a picture of me. You may be able to call and make a same day appointment, but online will only allow the following day. I don't think it's with bringing or risking losing your camera or phone out on the lake, there isn't anything really photo worthy.
