We rented the sport triton pontoon boat and it was perfect for our family of four. The seating was super comfy and it was easy to drive. The sound system was awesome and it provided plenty of shade. The only critique I would have would be that the yellow life jackets that were required to be worn when we left the marina were smelly and had mold on them. We also did not have two ropes to tie off when we docked for lunch. Otherwise, a perfect day on the lake and we will definitely use them again.

I booked about a month in advance for rental on Saturday from 11am-7pm. My rental for a 12 seater was $484 after taxes and fees and then $13 for gas at the end. The boat was large with half shaded and half in the sun. There was ample storage space for coolers and personal items. There's also a Bluetooth speaker that worked perfectly that we used to play music all day. Be sure to bring a cooler, trash bags, and a phone charger. They came in handy! They also have half day rentals and lower fares during off season. Be sure to take the online safety course before you arrive so you can do a quick safety review and boat walk through(we videotaped ours) before heading out. The staff were very helpful for any questions or suggestions on where to go.

Their website proudly professes a $50,000 renovation to each of their 14 houseboats but I can tell you that no matter how much money you spend, if you don't keep it cleaned up it will always look worth a lot less. The walls were covered in a very dark brown paneling that made the boat feel small and cramped. The two upstairs beds (no bedrooms, as the bed went from wall to wall) were on a raised platform with the bed pad sitting on top and the two bedrooms downstairs the bed pad was on the floor. Their were 2 bathrooms, only 1 shower - but it was big enough for two (dirty looking though, icky things on the floor and on the top) and the bathroom floor, you know, around the toilet bottom were guys tend to hit when they miss the actual commode, yellow, brown, slimy, icky icky icky!!! Everywhere I looked the place was scuffed up, dirty, and had so many spiderwebs that I thought they had just decorated early for Halloween! I don't believe these boats actually go through an actual stripped down cleaning!!! When paying $600 a day, you would expect to have the houseboat in the same if not better condition than if you were staying in a hotel room. Right?!!!! There were 6 people in our party and none of us will ever rent again from Lake Lanier Harbor Marina. On Saturday night, the generator went out, we had no lights, no a/c, nothing. We managed to get back to the Harbor expecting to find the "on-call" tech waiting for us as we had put the emergency call in 30 minutes prior to our arrival, but no luck. We must have made 6 phone calls and finally he arrived. I found out that the "on-call" guy lives over an hour away. Wow, great management decision on that one guys! So after a 3 1/2 hour wait, we finally got up and running again, just in time to go to bed as by then we were exhausted, cranky, tired, and hot! The hot tub had crud and dirt swirling around in the bottom of the seats and floor, we didn't want to risk catching anything so we opted not to use it. Based on the money spent, this was the worst weekend get-away ever. Here are their details: All houseboats are complete with sleeping accommodations for 10, full kitchen, living area with entertainment center, bath-and-a-half, central heat and air, gas grill and Jacuzzi and waterslide on the top deck.
