Unfortunately it's the only rental in that area. Employees aren't versed in equipment or the lake. First office gal tried up selling us on amount of rental time then said only way to get half day was a start of 8am. Total BS. Two employees on the dock didn't have much clue had to boat operations or the lake itself. Equipment s absolutely "juke", we checked out everything available and all were seriously abused and neglected. Again it is what it is in that area. read more

This Business is run by crooks. I would never recommend any family to use this marina. The boat rentals are trash. The customer service is terrible, and the technician Tom called me a douche bag and wouldn't help me. I've never had such bad service anywhere before. read more

Do not rent a boat from these crooks. We rented a boat for the full day. The nice lady that worked at the store looked over the boat before we took it and noted "prop" damage on our agreement. We got in the boat and all of the seats were ripped and the yellow stuffing was coming out. (Not comfortable when you are wearing a bathing suit) Then while out on the water, the boat broke down about 3 hours later. When we putted back to the dock, the mechanic came out and said that this particular boat was a "piece of shit". No one offered any refund for the time that was lost or did anything to be fair. Then we get home from our trip and we had received a call from them telling us that we would have to pay for the prop damage. My husband tried to explain that we have a copy of the agreement that notes that there was prop damage. I'm so irritated. read more

We loved this place and hope to go back soon. We rented one of their floating condos along with some friends and stayed two nights. The condo is basically a house boat without a motor that is anchored to the dock and has two small bedrooms w/ double-beds, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen/dining area. There is a spacious deck on top where you can sit and admire the spectacular view. Perfect for 4 people. We rented a 24' platio boat for the day (ask for the newer yellow one) and had a great day on the water, cruising and fishing. It has a canopy you can open for shade or rain cover. The marina is barely on the Utah side of the border with Wyoming, and the store there sells fishing licenses for either or both states. They also have fishing supplies, as well as other sundries (clothers, alcohol, souveneirs). The people who run the place were great -- so nice and friendly. Raynette checked us in and was very helpful, as was her daughter Cody, who let us into the condo and gave us advice on fishing and other things to do. Billie in the store was a hoot, and Brian at the dock was great. One thing you should know if you want to rent a boat is that you have to be back at the dock by 6 PM or else they, by law, have to send the sherriff out to find you. The marina is inside a national park, so this is Homeland Security at work. You also need to buy a pass to the park, unless you have an annual pass to the national parks, which is what we were able to use. The people in the office can help you locate things to do in the area. We drove up to the Red Canyon Lodge for dinner. There is a pond there, but no great views of the gorge. If you enter the road into the park then drive past the entrance to the lodge, you will be able to walk out to areas where you can see the gorge. There is a platform off to the right that has truly amazing views of the canyons. The dam is a little further (stay on 44 and turn on 191) and offers tours. We took the geological loop off of 44, which was worthwhile. The Hub was recommended to us as a good restaurant closer to the marina, but we never made it there. read more

What a great start and horrific end! Would've recommended this marina to anyone prior to interacting with owner / manager Jessica. Awful customer service and would never recommend this marina due to her! How sad! read more

I want to preface this by saying the Flaming Gorge is beautiful and the employees of the Lucerne Valley Marina were very kind and friendly. With that said, we had a horrible experience with the houseboat that we rented. My husband said the boat that he viewed online was nothing like the boat we saw when we arrived. The 52 foot houseboat that we rented was straight out of the 70's or 80's. We didn't really have a problem with that, but more with the condition the boat was in. The boat was filthy. It appeared to be taken straight out of storage with out being cleaned. We had to wash any dish we were going to use before using it. When we went to wash them there was absolutely no hot water. The water heater was an issue the entire trip. We got very little hot water the duration of our vacation (for showers or washing dishes). The boat had an awful smell that we had to air out and something must have been left under the sink in the kitchen that was giving off an awful odor. There were mouse traps under there as well. We spent pretty much our entire first night trying to rid the boat of the smell. The first night we also spend our time clearing the boat of spider webs and spiders. They were EVERYWHERE!!! They were even in the bed quarters. It was disappointing. In addition, we were disappointed that we had to beach the boat. Being in a houseboat we were under the impression that we could just throw out an anchor and be in the middle of the lake if we wanted. There was no anchor and there was no depth finder on the boat as well. The boat lacked running lights and a gas gauge. We felt that the accommodations were not worth the money that we paid for this rental. We paid $2500 dollars for this boat for 4 nights. We ended up leaving a night early. For $625 dollars a night we felt cheated. It took awhile to save up for this trip and we were really looking forward to it, but we left feeling that we wasted our money. I wish we could have gotten some of our money back. We would not rent this houseboat again and we would not recommend renting a houseboat here to anyone else. Again, the scenery was fantastic and the people were friendly, but overall we were very unhappy with our experience. read more
