    1-Star Review I…read morerented a pontoon boat from Starky's in LBI for a birthday with 7 middle-schoolers, and it was by far the worst rental experience I've (we've all) ever had. The boat was completely unsafe, dilapidated, and quite frankly embarrassing for such a special occasion. Here's what we encountered: Unreliable Motor: * Constantly stalled, barely had power, extremely smoky old 2-stroke that smelled like gas the entire trip. No Ladder: * Nearly impossible for kids to get in/out of the bay safely. Yes, I know they say "no swimming," the bay was only about two feet deep where we docked during our short, miserable outing. We all just wanted to get off the wretched boat and enjoy the water for a little while--because that was the only part of the day that felt tolerable. Unsafe Design: * Exposed gas tank - no cover on housing. * Trim aluminum around decks ripped open with jagged shards and protruding screws/rivets--serious cut hazards, making it EVEN HARDER to get on and off the boat with no ladder. * Railings you couldn't touch without risk of being cut. Filthy Condition: * Moldy, green carpeting that smelled like a stagnant lagoon. * Ripped seats "repaired" with rusty staples sticking out. * Dingy, stained, moldy life jackets. No Working Features: * Dead electronics. * Broken motor trim button. Unstable Ride: The boat listed to one side the entire day, making it unsafe to navigate even small wakes. We had to cut our trip TWO HOURS short because it was simply unsafe and miserable. The cost vs. what we received was outrageous. This was not just disappointing--it was dangerous and embarrassing to take out a group of preteens on. For the actual record: * We did not stay out the full time. We cut the trip 2 hours short, left early, and didn't come to the owner after directly because it would not have ended well based on his responses here on google, and his lack of any kind of care for the business - it's a loss I took the secong i booked the boat lat month. * I listened closely during the haphazard "safety class", have rented boats in the past and have experience with boats, boating and anchoring in the Barnegat Bay - and this is an experience i'll hopefully soon forget. This is simply a factual list and round up of our experience. Bottom line: I'm shocked no one was injured. This was a hazardous, dilapidated boat that should not be rented to anyone and the business should be under scrutiny by the appropriate agencies.

    Tried calling this guy twice to inquire on renting a jet ski and some kayaks. Never returned my…read morecall. Walked over here around 9am to see if I could find someone, but there was no sign of life. Spoke to some locals who advised to stay far away from this business. Lots of bad public relations.
