The team at Pleasure Point Marina were all kind and welcoming. The young gentleman who helped us get situated with our boat was great and offered fun banters as well as helpful insight on current best spots for fishing. The boat they set us up with was top of the line. Looking around, we definitely had one of the newer and nicer rentals on the lake. We went with the standard size pontoon for 4 people and had plenty of room for each person to have their own space to cast off at all times. While our luck with fishing was limited, we had a great time out on the water in our comfortable boat. read more

We rented a pontoon boat and what we got exceeded expectations. The boat was nearly new, 2025, and had been kept in perfect condition. The staff was quite helpful and answered all of our questions. We absolutely loved our day and would recommend the highly. We will do it again if we are ever in Big Bear again. read more

The rental process was very smooth and we had a great time out on the water. Dylan helped us check in and he was great really made us feel at home and comfortable. read more

Highly recommend. My son and I rented a jet ski for two hours (my first time on one) and it was a BLAST, and the staff was awesome and friendly, and the equipment itself was first class, and the price was better than another outfit we checked. My son dropped me off after an hour and spent another hour on the water and we loved it!! Next time I'll get my own :) read more

The Staff at Pleasure Point Marina was professional, personable and a complete different experience than when we were talking with Pine Knot Marina, inquiring about rentals. We rented the pontoon with WiFi and that was fun to have music for our time on the lake. Worth the money for this pontoon. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of space to walk around, sit and visit and take in the beauty of Big Bear from the water. I highly recommend Pleasure Point Marina. The absolute best! read more

We rented a pontoon from another location last year, but tried Pleasure Point Marina this time. This pontoon was much nicer. Seats were comfortable, Bluetooth speakers were better than the small portable speaker that I brought, and the boat was clean. I would rent from here again. read more

WOW this place is so awesome. The customer service is second to none . We went up there to check out the little go boats. From the minute you drive into the driveway and until you leave, everybody is so kind and helpful THANK YOU Mikie and your staff for ALL your help and knowledge. Can't wait to go back ..

Reserved a rental in advance. Day of rental had poor weather-rain. I called early in AM to cancel. Eventually told that no refund will be considered - only "credit". I may never visit the area again and have health condition where I may not even have that long. I requested to be refunded - never used any service. Company should not hold funds to compel / force any potential customer to use the service or lose out. Company should provide refund option where the weather turns out bad. Beware if you make reservations as they will hold your deposit / payment hostage, and force you to do business. read more

I love this place. We keep our boat here. During the season, the staff and Yard crew. Do their best to keep everybody happy. The place is clean. And organized. We've been to other places on the lake. But this place is number one in my book! Thank you, Pleasure Point Marina staff read more

Much overdue review of a wonderful experience renting a pontoon at Pleasure Point in April. The gentlemen working that day who helped us on the boat and explained everything to us were very friendly and professional. They explained everything very clearly and gave us tips on the best route to take. The boat itself was awesome as well. It was in great shape, very clean, comfortable, and easy to navigate. We especially enjoyed the sound system and shade on the pontoon. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable two hours on the boat and could have easily spent another hour or two on it. We can't wait to go back and make this a regular stop during our annual Big Bear trip. We highly recommend Pleasure Point Marine. read more

Less crowded, plenty of parking, great customer service. We rented a 6-person luxury pontoon for four hours (highly recommend four hours as you'll be wishing for more time after two). We brought our two teenagers with us and had a blast. You should know that you can't swim off of the boat but it didn't matter. We were very happy boating and floating. Very relaxing and a very nice boat, I must say! My favorite part was the Bluetooth speakers on deck. I also rented a paddleboard for a couple of hours and paddled around the marina area where there were some nice, chill waters and animal and bug nurseries. Baby dragonflies, baby fishes, baby ducks and their mamas teaching them how to hunt for food. I really appreciated that this was a quieter area of Big Bear lake away from all the craziness. We will definitely rent here again! read more

We came here yesterday to rent a pontoon boat, and the staff was beyond helpful helping us with fishing poles fishing licenses, Everything! Their customer service went above and beyond and when our kids were seasick, they stepped in to help us out. Really appreciate you guys and would definitely recommend anyone to come here over any other place. read more

Great marina. Good prices on gas for members. Cliff and his staff are awesome at helping with the boat and any repairs we have needed over the years. They also store my dock and boat for the winter. I think it's been 7 or 8 years using them and we will continue to use them read more

We had so much fun here renting jet skis! Micheal was very helpful and informative. Will be coming back for our next trip!

Stumbled upon this hidden gem. We were driving through Big Bear and noticed this marina. We came here on a Sunday around 11am. There was ample parking and we didn't get charged for parking either. The views here are amazing! Very pet friendly here too. read more

This gets a 5 star all the way around. We rented a pontoon boat for our family, which included my almost 99-year-old mom. She was so looking forward to go out on the lake since we've had a cabin up here since 1964. But it's been quite a while since she's been up. The facilities are absolutely perfect. The docs are nice and it's a great location. The pontoon boats are all a year old or newer. They're great condition. And the price includes guess you don't need to fill them up when you come back in. Seeing that, my mother is quite elderly, they picked her up in the parking lot with their golf cart and drove her right down to the docks. Then they had a wheelchair that they rolled her down right to the pontoon boat. She just had to stand up and walk a few steps onto the boat. What amazing service. The young man who helped my mom with the wheelchair and the golf cart was so kind and so sweet. He was a junior in high school coming up. His mom and dad raised him well. His name was Mateo. Kyle helped us with the reservations and met us when we arrived. Everything went great and my mom even drove the boat for a short while lol. read more

We did not pass inspection at another launch ramp, we went to pleasure point to rent a aluminum boat. Immediately upon hopping out of the car we were greeted by a worker who above and beyond what was needed to make sure we had a great day on the water!!!

This Marina has hands down the best customer service you can find on the lake! ​I appreciate your guys' hospitality can't wait to visit again!! THANK YOU read more

Great service. We rent here whenever we visit big bear. Pricing is great compared to other local spots. read more

Pleasure Point Marina - My son's 3rd pontoon cruise! - Boating Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

This marina and the team is awesome. We came in with a classic '80s boat and were greeted with what we needed. Rewind to last summer and the great experiences we had with renting pontoons. A++. This summer, the service dept performed the necessary stickering to be legal in the lake. Shortly after moving into our slip, mechanical issues began with the out drive. The service department, specifically John and Justin, did their best to improve shifting while recommending more maintenance next year. Well, this did not work out for us and it was time to dig in and install new parts. While testing out the new system, deeper engine problems appeared. Now, we were getting deeper into $$ repairs. Justin and John were excellent with describing what problems we had and the many options to fix. After choosing a good path forward, that relied extensively on other specialty shops, we are almost ready to launch and enjoy the boat. One last shop specializing in vintage carburetors is still not ready to release it back to the Pleasure Point Shop. I know all of these folks are working to put Miss Manny in the water with the delightful performance she was designed for. Though I've grown inpatient with the starts and delays, the team at Pleasure Point is absolutely the best boat shop I have ever dealt with. read more

Ok , 10 years in a row we have been coming to big bear for a week. We rent a pontoon boat and have an amazing time. This year we tried pleasure point marina , let me tell you.

Visited Pleasure Point Marina today for Father's Day and it did not disappoint. We rented a pontoon boat and everything from beginning to end was quick and easy. We only rented it for one hour because we weren't sure how our 1yr old would like it. Canoe provided us with exceptional customer service. He thoroughly went over instructions and advice before we went out on our own. You can tell he cares about you having the best experience. Just a genuine person that wants to make sure you are as comfortable and ready as possible before venturing off on your own. Whenever we decide to come back to rent a pontoon at Big Bear Lake I'll definitely be coming back here because of the awesome all around experience. Thanks Canoe! read more

Great day out on the water. We ended up renting the new small luxury pontoon for four hours and slayed the trout. We pulled out of the marina and instantly hooked up on the gold Kastmastets. We worked our way west and across to Greys for a wide open bite. Even a triple at one point. The crew at the marina was awesome. Very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

I am booking all my rentals at the Pleasure Point Marina! First of all their website is accurate and you can see in real time what's available. If you call them, they are pleasant and helpful in giving rental information. We rented two pontoons. The large luxury was the nicest. But what was most stellar was an employee named Canoe. My 87 year old parent who used a walker, was escorted by Canoe in a golf cart and literally made sure she safely got across ramp and on to the boat. His caring compassion made my parents trip! He returned promptly at the end of the trip to take my parents to our vehicle. We highly recommend this business. Boat orientation and pontoons exceeded our expectations. But the customer service was stellar! read more

My family rented a pontoon for 1 hour at 1:30PM. The initial employee who helped us with our pontoon and explained how to use it was very nice. He offered to take pictures for our family. My dad put the shift in neutral in order to start the pontoon and get out of the dock area. The boat had an incessant beeping sound that went on for a good 5-10 minutes so we called Pleasure Point to ask about it and we were told that it would go away. So we went on while the beeping noise continued for another 5-10 mins and then the engine just turned off. We attempted to restart the engine 2 more times and both times it turned off again. The gauge indicated empty so based on context clues we assumed the boat was out of gas and dead. We played phone tag with an employee for 20-30 minutes to try to get someone out here to help us. There was no organization or protocol of steps to check before having a boat sent out to help us. Around 2:15PM, 2 Pleasure Point employees on a pontoon came to help us. 1 employee jumped on our boat and was able to start the engine. He stated that "the shift wasn't in neutral" and "you were told this at the beginning" in a curt manner as if this was our fault. He also told us the beeping noise was just an oil check reminder. A bit concerning since shouldn't the oil be checked and changed consistently? If it is, maybe figure out a way to turn off the noise? At that point, we had 15 mins left of our reservation and told no accommodations could be made since there was another rental after us. We've rented pontoons before from other rentals and this has never happened to us. Yes, we were instructed once to make sure the shift was in neutral and could have utilized better problem solving skills. But the engine should have never turned off in the first place. Why wasn't the first step to ask us if we had the shift in neutral? That could have given us more time to enjoy our rental. Overall, they provide a service but provide no tools to utilize that service. The boats were also decrepit. No hate or animosity just extremely disappointed in this experience and will not be returning. Mo read more

We all had a pleasure here on the beautiful lake! Giles is the best! He's super funny and he gave us all great tips for wakeboarding since it was all of our first times. If you want to ride the jetskis, you'll need to go very early to reserve one. We luckily got the last two since we got there by 7am. read more

We were fortune to rent a small pontoon for the later part of the day 3-7pm.. However, the boats are old and beat up but the flood of people seeking to get outside due to Covid fuels this business. Justin was amazing funny and helpful getting us set up!! The booking, check in and out was seamless. Hopefully they will use their increase in revenue to purchase new boats and equipment! read more

This was a very nice area to relax. We rented a small pontoon boat for 1 hour. Taylor and Marshal (I think ) were the two guys who helped us out on a very busy Saturday! There was a lot of people so I am glad I had a reservation for the pontoon boat. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the kayaks or anything else because there was a wait time as they were first come first serve. There were a few picnic tables in the area if anyone wants to bring food. There's also 2 grills. I didn't use them but just good for people to know! read more

While staying in Big Bear recently, my wife and I along with another couple decided to rent a boat and go out on the lake. We contacted Pleasure Point Maria for the rental of a small platoon boat to cruise the lake for 4 hours. We arrived at the Marina and we were pleasantly greeted by two ladies in the office as the prepared everything for us. We then walked down the dock to pick up our boat. The gentleman showed us to our boat and provided detailed instructions on how to operate the vessel as well as going over the safety equipment. We then enjoyed four hours of cruising a very empty Big Bear lake. It was a wonderful and relaxing day on the water with no issues. We returned the pontoon boat and then went to have a beer and something to eat. We were really happy with the service we received at Pleasure Point Marina and that fact that they provided Military Discounts as well. Their boats are a bit worn (well used) but very operable and lake worthy. Next time you are in Big Bear, I do recommend Pleasure Point Marina for you boat rentals. I know we will be coming back read more
