We were told by their staff that they intentionally disable their trim tilt on their rental boats…read more You need to lean over the motor and do it manually. We rented from here for years and they rent out boats in poor shape. The prop had several dings and scratches on it and then tried to point out one when we returned it and said we didn't. We anchored the boat for the entire day and didn't leave the same spot. Wouldn't waste your time renting from them.

I felt like the line was too short to really hit the waves and have fun. Also the boat it seemed like the car ranges were clogged or something, and the boat wouldn't move at full throttle. We tried letting the staff know once we return the boat and they saw us struggle to get back to the dock however, there was no discount or anything given to us for the faulty equipment.

The entire experience with Blue Ridge Boat Rentals was excellent…read more We arrived in the parking lot and were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The check-in process was quick and easy and the staff loaded our cooler and bags onto the boat while we checked in. Matt was out primary guide/contact and he provided some boating tips and gave us an overview of the lake and some recommended spots we might enjoy. We did rent a tube and our kids had a lot of fun tubing. There were also plenty of beautiful spots to anchor and swim. When we returned at our designated time, the return process was equally as smooth. Matt came aboard and we hopped off for the transportation back to the office. Once the boat was back at the office, staff took off the cooler and bags for us to load back into our car. I do recommend everyone watch the videos and sign the waivers and agreements ahead of arrival. It keeps the check-in very efficient so the crew at Blue Ridge Boat Rentals can get you on your way to an amazing day on the lake.

Everything went amazingly well. We were at first hesitant since they are not on the Marina. But…read morethey were the most organized group of workers. And so kind. We were on the water at 10:10am. We were supposed to arrive at 9:45am but did not get there til 9:55. If we would have arrived as they asked we would have been on the water at 10:00 as planned. That is how proficient they are. Thank you, we will see you again next year.

Problems Electrical malfunction Broken sliding shower curtain front door Grab handle Loose wire awning Black tank wont drain Took the RV back to them for these warranty repairs Talked to Art, should have known what was going to happen during this interaction but wanted to give him a chance I could have been wrong. I wasn't Returned after 6 weeks to get the RV that Art said was fixed. Upon pick up he looked me in the eye and said all things were repaired and the electrical problem was my fault??? Then proceeded to tell me I owed $900 and change for the repairs??? What about the warranty, stolen $$$ When I asked for what his exact statement was that's what it cost and it was more?? Worthless They brought up the RV and sent the Tech to me. While he was trying to tell me why the Electrical was my fault the shop manger called him away and said he had other things to do. So, I take it home, a month later I take it out for the second time. NOTHING AND I MEAN ZERO OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED NONE So off another dealer that actually wants to help and has customer service at the forefront of what they do. All problems were fixed quickly and efficiently This was by far the worst experience possible, and the funny thing is they could care less. Save your time and money and start you RV/Boat purchase somewhere else

Young Harris Water Sports had staff that used golf carts to do it all for us on both front and back ends of the trip. We rented a Tritoon and a double innertube for pulling behind. All the equipment worked great, boat was in very good shape. We had a fantastic time on a half day rental. Highly recommend YTWS for your boat rental needs on Lake Chatuge!

My family and I rented a boat from Young Harris Water Sports over Father's Day weekend in 2025. We…read morehad reserved the boat from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, but we arrived about an hour early. After completing the paperwork, we went down to the dock, and the staff told us the boat was ready. We were able to leave at approximately 1:00 PM. As we pulled away, the young employee at the dock (who appeared to be under 18) said, "We'll see you back at 6 PM." I even commented to my husband that it sounded like we were getting an extra hour with the boat. We enjoyed our afternoon on the lake until around 5:00 PM, when the manager called. I missed the first call but answered the second. Instead of calmly asking about our return time, he immediately spoke to me in a rude and confrontational tone, asking why we hadn't returned the boat and stating it was due back at 5:00 PM. I explained that we had been told to return at 6:00 PM and apologized for the misunderstanding. Rather than acknowledging that there may have been a miscommunication, he insisted that "never happened" and threatened to charge me if we didn't return the boat immediately. As soon as we realized there had been a misunderstanding, we headed straight back to the dock. When we arrived, the manager was standing there with his arms crossed and immediately began accusing us of intentionally keeping the boat out too long. He also mentioned that it was Father's Day and that he was trying to leave work at 5:00 PM. I apologized again and explained that the employee had told us she would see us at 6:00 PM. It was obvious that she had simply overlooked the fact that we left an hour early, so our expected return time should have been adjusted to 5:00 PM. I completely understand that working on Father's Day isn't ideal, and I also understand the importance of returning rental equipment on time. However, this situation was the result of a simple misunderstanding caused by the staff, not by us. There was no reason for the manager to be rude, accusatory, or threatening. A professional conversation would have resolved the issue just as quickly. We've rented from Young Harris Water Sports at least three times in the past and have always enjoyed our experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, because of the way we were treated, we will not be returning. Customer service matters just as much as the equipment you rent, and this experience fell far short of what we expected.

This place is on my handy dandy map of caverns and a bucket list item…read more Water levels were unusually low while we were here. I think I'd like to come back when they are higher, as some of the under water lights were at eye level and may have caused temporary blindness. Just kidding, but they were very bright. Our tour guide was Elijah and I think he did a good job of keeping the group together. There were at least 10 kids under 10, and several toddlers. Often we couldn't hear what was being said over the kids, so if you really want to hear what's going on, maybe come on a weekday while school is in session. At $100 for 3 people, this was kind of pricey, but worth it to me. There are so many things to see, and the history and artifacts are fascinating. I can now say I've been on a boat, in a cave, on an underground lake. Pretty cool in my opinion. The sweet shop was closed while we were there, but the glass blowing shop was open. They had a ton of interesting figures for sale, big and small. Definitely check this place out!
