The staff is amazingly accommodating and make you feel right at home. My small group of 3 had an appointment, and a longer than expected breakfast. The staff was super friendly and very easy going. The trip is an easy 2+ hour and my only though is it could be longer. The place seems to be located somewhere in the middle of the path. So it is not the type where you start off, or end up by where you are tubing, you get driven and then picked up. They have a pro shop which has basics things that you may have forgotten if it is an impromptu tube trip. We lucked out on a party cloudy Saturday with80 degrees. They also have canoeing and even paddle board yoga. The tubes have a little head rest which is nice when laying belly up. The tubes also have connectors so they can tie up nice and easily. They have 2 can holders for your beverages. As with all river trips, no glass. I would also suggest pony up for the extra cooler tube it really rounds out the experience.

I'd been looking for a pontoon boat that suits our needs for about a month with no luck. One dealer…read moresaid he rarely has what we were looking for in his inventory -- but he can get one for us in eight-ten weeks, or he can get us one that is way bigger than we need in two weeks. Another dealer says the smallest pontoon he sells is 24 feet long with a 110HP outboard at $50k -- quite a bit more boat that this retired couple needs. Then I saw that Arbor Vitae Marine listed several boats in our size range (16' to 18') and price range ($20K to $25K) on their web site inventory so my wife and I decided to stop in and take a look. An hour or so later we sealed the deal and our new pontoon was on the way to our lake. For us the buying experience at Arbor Vitae Marine was excellent. The owner showed us all the boats in their inventory that were in our price range and met our needs. She clearly explained the features and options and took plenty of time to make us feel like Arbor Vitae Marine really appreciated our interest in their boats and wanted our business. As a first time pontoon buyer I feared it might be worse than buying at new car in the 1970's, but shopping with them was like dealing with a neighbor. After we purchased the boat the mechanics at Arbor Vitae Marine set it up with the outboard we selected and the owners delivered it to our dock (they just happen to live on the same lake that we do) two days later. After a short tutorial we were on the water enjoying our first pontoon ride around the lake. Arbor Vitae Marine sells Avalon Pontoons (which I will review in another Yelp posting specific to the brand) but l have to say here that the fit and finish and the overall quality of the boat is worth a five star review. I would recommend that anyone in the market for a new pontoon stops in at Arbor Vitae Marine to take a good look the Avalon brand. We selected a 25HP Tohatsu outboard for our boat. For me this was a motor I was not familiar with but after reading a bunch of on-line reviews it seemed to be a quality machine at a good price and I had no hesitation in selecting it for our boat. (I'll review the outboard separately at a later time) We plan to continue working with Arbor Vitae Marine for "winterization," storage, and "summerization," and for any service needs that arise in the future. I will amend my review as necessary after such service is rendered -- but for now, my initial experience is five stars -- as good as it gets.
