Check in was a breeze, and you get trained before you head off on your own. The boat was clean, there was plenty of space for all of us. We did bring disinfectant spray and wipes though, and used those as soon as we entered the boat, for precaution during these times. The kitchen was well equipped - I found the fridge more than adequate for our 3 night stay. The boat had a generator - so you can have air conditioning on, on days when you need a break from the heat. The houseboat experience itself was good too. There are plenty of beaches to chose from, and Lake Pepin was nice for just hanging around during the day. "Parking" in public docks can be tough, there are limited spaces on the dock. One time we waited so long we gave up, the other time we waited and got lucky. The fishing was meh. 3 nights and we didn't get a nibble until the last night, when we finally switched to live bait. We caught one fish and that's it. It's probably us, and our lack of fishing skills. :-). We got into trouble one night, when we were trying to beach, and was able to get help from Hugh right away, guiding us over the phone. They also came and checked on us that same afternoon. No judgement and no drama, very professional. Overall I would recommend Great River Houseboats for a safe, socially distanced family getaway, that's still quite fun and adventurous.

Two years on a drive through Alma we stopped at the GRH, viewed the the boats and decided to book…read more Unfortunately a week before we were to take out the boat the wife of our friend broke her foot. We had to cancel and the manager of the GRH was kind enough to let us apply the deposit towards another date. In July (last month) we took took out a Houseboat for a 3 day adventure. Unfortunately the condition of the boat was disappointing and was not the boat we saw when visited 2 years prior. Among the issues: 1. No locks on the the entrance and rear patio doors. We felt unsafe at night or when we left our belongings on the boat and when we stopped in town for dinner. 2. While laying on the bottom bunk in the main cabin you would see either water stain or urine stains on the bottom board of the bunk above. 3. No canopy on the top deck (again different from what we saw when we visited). It made the top deck unusable since during the trip it was extremely hot, humid and sunny. 4. Chipped toilet seat. 5. Dead fly's on the ceiling of the main cabin. 6. Cabinet door fell off in the kitchen area. 7. Area below the sink where the trash can was absolutely filthy. To be fair, the staff was very nice and the river views were magnificent. We cannot in good faith recommend this company to anybody. We contacted management after the trip and requested a refund, they refused to offer a full or partial refund. They told us they informed us about the condition of this particular boat in advance...NOT TRUE, would never have accepted this boat, in this condition, for this amount of money.

They were both awesome to deal with. Nice size pontoon boat for our family of four. More people could have fit on comfortably. 8 would probably be a comfortable amount at most, but you probably could fit more. Not sure more than 8 would be as comfortable. Plenty of room on the boat. We boated the entire day and even fished off the boat. The boat has a depth finder and fish finder as one unit on the boat. The boat seemed fairly new and in great shape. Plenty of comfortable seating cushions on the boat. It could have used more cup holders, though. Plenty of storage under the seats and cushions. We did several stops to swim while out on the lake. The lake is not very deep (Castle Rock Lake) so go more towards the center of the lake to swim. There it was around 15-20 feet deep. You could anchor there with no problems. Awesome ladder on the boat to get back in the boat from the water. With four in the boat, plenty of room to fish. Casting or bobber fishing. Fish finder on the boat was a nice touch. It helped find good areas to fish, but we had no luck catching any that day. Smooth ride while boating on Castle Rock Lake. Not many boats on the lake the day we were out on the lake. We didn't see many boats on the lake the whole time we were there. That's nice that the lake does not get too crowded with boat traffic. The boat has a Bluetooth radio to connect your phone for music and a nice music system for enjoying your boat ride. Overall smooth experience reserving the boat in advance and then getting out on the water. Kat showed us how to use the boat and then we were off on the lake boating. Seamless experience from reservation to turning the boat in at the end of the day. Highly recommend renting a boat from them on Castle Rock Lake. Just so you know, they operate out of a shack next door to the Shipwreck Bay Bar and Restaurant. The shack is located on the hill above their docks. There is a banner on the side of the shack that says Castle Rock Water Sports. That is where you start your day. For lunch while boating, the restaurant by the boat rental docks, Shipwreck Bay Bar and Grill, is great and so is the Dirty Turtle Bar and Grill just North of there via water. TIP: When filling your boat with gas at the end of your boating day before turning it in, go to the Dirty Turtle Restaurant/Bar down the way from the Castle Rock Water Sports docks. It's about half a mile or less North of their rental docks by water. The gas pump is by the Dirty Turtle Bar and Grill itself. You will have to pull the boat all the way into the marina by water and up to the dock right in front of the Dirty Turtle bar where the gas pump is at. Dock your boat there and go into the restaurant with your credit card. Tell the bartender that you want to fill-up your boat and they hold your card and turn on the pump for you. Go back out and fill your boat to full from the pump. The pump hose is pretty long and will stretch most of the way down the dock to fill your boat no matter where you dock it. After filling your boat with gas, go back into the bar and pay. They can put it on your card or you can pay cash instead. Knowing all this would have saved us some time, but we figured it out, finally. Enjoy!!!

Only suggestion is to bring more food and beverages and worms than you think. There isn't any place to stop and pick up needed items. If you have a small fishing boat, bring it! You can catch fish from a houseboat, but it is limited. Bring a Bluetooth speaker. There is a sound system but radio only. You should do this!
