As a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, I highly recommend Morris for all things underwater. Morris was my instructor trainer when I first became a PADI Instructor, and the lessons he taught me made me the diver and instructor I am today. I have also been on several dive trips with Morris, ranging from shipwreck diving throughout the Great Lakes to the warm clear waters of Cozumel. I can't wait to go back and highly recommended Morris and Diver's Central.

Each person gets a drink ticket, and they give you cute metal souvenir cups with each purchase. The boat is a good size for the amount of people, as there are plenty of seats for everyone and you get a good view wherever you are at. It can get a bit chilly on the water so make sure you bring a jacket if its chill out. The staff was friendly and even made a cocktail for us that was not officially on the menu. The view on the lake is beautiful, and this is a great couples boat ride, or even to do with family.

You wonder onto Groupon in a last ditch effort to salvage the day and that is just what my friend did, so seeing as Nauti-Cat was an option for the time we'd hoped for and the amount of people we had was like this has to be it. And it was! We got there a bit early because we wanted to ensure we didn't screw this up again and the process to get registered and ready was simple. After 5 minutes to get us all set, we walked over to the hotel next door just to take a peek around and it was lovely - the back deck off the water was gorgeous. The restaurant looked dreamy. Then we boarded the boat and left all the day's stresses behind. The tunes came on, the water was magical, the crew was nice and funny and let us just do our thing. They had a shotski and lots of vacation energy. I would definitely go again and would recommend anyone else in the area looking for a majestic, peaceful and relaxing boat outing to check it out!

It's wonderful to experience. The boats are beautiful clean and high quality, they even have floats, towels, sunscreen for purchase, coolers to use for your trip, complimentary ice, and more. They have rules to protect their property -- and you can tell from the quality of the rentals that they truly care about providing a high quality product. We love dockside water sports -- and the owners are so kind. Don't listen to the negative reviews.

Because water is shallow by the dock, and jet ski can suck up sand in shallow water, we have to call them when we are ready to return and someone will push the jet ski back. No hassle in booking, if they have rentals available, especially on a non-busy day, you can just walk in. they have clean bathrooms too if you need to remove some water weight before you enjoy some time on the lake.

Port-a-potty out back, though it looked like they were having a sewage issue in the back yard as we were leaving... There's a very basic menu with a burger, chicken strips, fries, etc., plus rotating daily specials (which they will post of their Facebook page). Pretty good drink selection, which is the best thing about this place. Prices were decent (up to $7.50 for some frozen drinks). Jell-O shots for $1. Food was solidly average. I'm pretty sure the burgers were pre-made patties bought frozen. If you don't ask for it cooked medium well, it might come out on the raw side. I would say that if you're out on the boat, sure, it would be a decent place to grab lunch and a drink. I wouldn't make a special trip to come here if you're just in the car and could drive to other options.

If you looking to buy or anything else with boats this is my go to dealership! Thanks again for getting me back on the water !!

They contacted me and said it only needed a new prop. Also informed me the bilge pump needed to be replaced. I told them I would bring it in the spring. At that time the boat went into storage. This spring I immediately took it to Walatrom's to get the bilge replace along with 3 other services they recommended. I was told it was to be done in 4wks. After 4wks I was told the bilge had a loose wire and was repaired. They gave me a Spring set up but had no time for the additional 2 request. I pick up my boat and got it on the lake with no change in engine performance. I removed the prop they installed put on a different one and returned it. They informed me they NEVER take boats on a lake, they only test them in the barrel. When the manager look at my original invoice he saw where it was to be tested in the lake. They did return my money for the prop. I had been going there for years when they were Traverse Bay Marine and their service was exemplary. I will never go to Walstrom's again or recommend them to anyone.
