Everyplace that I had inquired for a day rental was either booked or didn't do reservations for single day use. I wanted to rent a boat on a Saturday and was suggested by someone to try this place on the day itself so I did. The place was a little hard to find but it's right besides the Yankee marina boat center. I went there in the morning and got myself a pontoon for 4hrs for the afternoon. Not the deal I hoped for to get but something was better than nothing. The staff was friendly and the reservation went smoothly. The pontoon was fantastic, well maintained and the instructor gave us a map and told us all the safety guidelines that we should follow. It was a fun experience overall and we had an awesome time.

Tim is an excellent captain and Bolton Boat tours is a world class company ! Definitely recommend!!!

This place is nothing but a bait and switch! I purchased a Monterey M6 which by the way has been…read moreturning out to be nothing but garbage! Do not buy a Monterey product. They will not warranty anything and utilize more fine print than you can imagine. I was sold this boat with a 7 year bow to stern warranty which I was told covered everything for 7 years. Being new to boating I trusted the Brodies (Owners of Yankee Boating) First they ordered me the wrong boat! Interior wrong, helm wrong, all electronics wrong. Mind you it was delivered begging of boating season so obviously not being happy I didn't want the wrong boat, the deal was I would sign papers on this boat start making payments and use it and they would order the new one for the next year! Next year comes new boat is late and in the body shop for a problem with the decals. Get the boat first couple years are ok little issues become bigger issues but I don't want to be without boat till end of the season so I compile all issues after 4yrs and in October 2024 contact Josh In The service dept and says send me pics I will contact Monterey and we will take care of issues. So after 5 months of no communication I called and he said we haven't heard back I'll call you Monday (3days later) and of course nothing. So 2 weeks later I go in and Charlie who was not very nice either I think because I bothered him on lunch said Josh was on lunch looked it up and said I don't see anything he will call you today I promise.lol Yeah a week and a half later Josh calls me and says all warranty has been declined there is nothing we can do!! Not happy I say have Andrew Brodie call me (the owner). In the mean time I call Monterey and the guy says none of these thing are covered and the 7 year total warranty was nothing what I was sold when I bought the boat! Here are issues. Sea Deck is pulling up everywhere, all of the hinges on everything that opens on the boat are litterally falling apart. Gel coat is cracking everywhere! And the 5k touchscreen helm option is delaminating and coming apart. It clearly says on the bs 7 yr warranty and issues w engine instrumentation is covered. He said well I was the one who declined warranty and Yankee never even sent pictures of the screen! I said well I have them I will send them to you and he would not take them from me said they had to come from dealer. He then asked if it worked I said yes but falling apart and I have to keep it covered so it doesn't get wet and he said well it works so not warranting it. So obviously frustrated I hang up and wait for Andrew Brodie to call me because to this point thought we had a great relationship in me buying a over $100k bought and paying it right off, he will surely take care of this situation. Get the call from him days later and he says well warranty is black and white nothing that we could do!?!? What???? You and your brother told me this 7 yr warranty covered everything!!! He says no not everything then the slime ball salesmen the REAL Andrew Brodie comes out and starts reading all the fine print and picks the warranty claim apart and I say this has been going on for years and when I called service to complain was told compile the problems we will take care of it over winter here we are because all of the fine print warranty has passed. So bottom line in my dealings with Yankee Boating,Monterey, and Andrew Brodie watch out he is that slimy used car salesmen that your parents warned you about when you were a kid selling you a Monterey product that truly is garbage and both him and the manufacturer know it and run the fine print game better than anyone in the business!

We returned it immediately, and there were no scratches, dents, or any visible damage--yet the company still blamed us for repairs right after we complained about the unsafe condition.

We reserved for the day a ten-person capacity pontoon boat at Chic's Marina a few weeks prior to…read moreour visit to Lake George. When we arrived, we found parking to be a challenge. Marina was busy since we visited in the busy summer months. The staff were truly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The boats from what I can tell in excellent working conditions and prices are reasonable for a popular resort town. Since we were staying at the Sagamore Resort, if anyone of our group was motion sick, we could easily drop them off. We had a full day of fun which included tubing, swimming, and lakeside restaurant dining. A message to others that rent a boat from Chric's Marina. Be sure that your area is attentive to all the contractual commitments before signing. We were uncertain about the weather before, the day of our rental since it was raining slightly. But fortunately, it was the best day of the week. Canceling for rainy weather may not be an option.

I brought my 2 year old son and 3 month old daughter and Dan checked both life jackets to make sure they were coast guard approved, and had a new one for my son since his wasn't.

They are a friendly and effecient business and I highly recommend them! Thank you again, Dan!
