We literally left with headaches and couldn't enjoy the nature or have a peaceful moment. It felt stressful, crowded, and exhausting instead of relaxing. A complete waste of time and money. I would NEVER recommend this boat tour to anyone.

1/5 -- Not Relaxing at All…read more I came on the Arrowhead Queen expecting a peaceful, relaxing boat ride around beautiful Lake Arrowhead. Unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. From almost the second the tour started, the captain/tour guide started talking -- and basically NEVER STOPPED. House after house after house: who owns this house, who used to live there, how much this house is worth, celebrity houses, more houses... honestly, I did not come here for a real-estate or celebrity-home tour. The narration was also extremely loud and nonstop. There wasn't even a minute here and there to just enjoy the sound of the water, look at the mountains and lake, and relax. After listening to the loud continuous talking for almost the entire ride, I actually ended up with a headache. Apparently I'm not the only person who feels this way, because other reviews mention that too much of the tour focuses on houses of rich/famous people and that the narration can be fast and difficult to enjoy. The sad part is that Lake Arrowhead itself is gorgeous. This could have been such a peaceful experience if they simply gave passengers some quiet time between the commentary. Tell us some interesting history, point out a few important places, then PLEASE stop talking for a while and let people enjoy the lake. If you love nonstop narration and hearing about who owns every house around the lake, you might enjoy it. If you're looking for a peaceful scenic boat ride where you can relax and enjoy Lake Arrowhead, I absolutely would not recommend this tour.

I have been fortunate enough to have a very good pal who is a member of the Lake Arrowhead Yacht…read moreClub (LAYC), an exclusive private club at Lake Arrowhead. My good fortune has been that I have been his invited guest, too many times to count, over the past seventeen or eighteen years. The best part of this is that I've met and made the acquaintance of many of the members who have been absolutely as nice as can be and are gracious to a fault. The club membership, I am told, is for the sole purpose of one thing: the pursuit of furthering the hobby and past time of sailing and encouraging all of the family to participate, including the "little ones." I have also been told that those folks seeking new membership who do not sail ... are not invited to join. Sailing IS very important here. All events at the club are planned or in concert with different sailing events, races, regattas, meets and "Invitationals." The members of LAYC remind me of close knit relatives. Mingling with them at the club as a guest, I get the feeling that I'm at a family reunion; there's a lot of obvious kinsmanship, brotherly love and spirited discussions that you'd find at family events. The club's kitchen always has really good food. They serve sit-down dinners as well as buffet meals. During the racing season, there are dinner parties every Saturday night that are absolutely the bomb. Several evenings during the week, the kitchen is also open to members. The club also has a sporty, full bar with TV's to watch sporting events and, as you can expect, beer, wine and cocktails flow freely when the club is open. LAYC is open basically between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Having said that, the club has a modified opening in the beginning of Springtime and a scaled back version of the club is still open through the early fall. Come winter, however, the club closes down, completely. My pal is a past Commodore of the club and has been the chairman of the race committee for many years. Races at the club are on Saturdays and Sundays. There are approximately eight fleets (different style sail boats) that race. That means that, usually, the Race Committee [which uses a pontoon boat and sets up at different points in the lake to start and finish races], has to start and finish eight fleets of boats per race. On Saturdays, there are two races (one on Sunday). Over the years, I have helped the Race Committee, usually being a backup scorer or once in a while handling flags and/or marker and lap-count placards with the close supervision and direction from those on the committee. It is a LOT of fun. Anyone reading this that spends time at Lake Arrowhead and is into sail boats, you are NUTS if you do not join the LAYC!

The best boating club in SoCal, period…read more Centered in the heard of the Lake Arrowhead Village, the Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club is as sophisticated as it is social. I remember spending many weekends here, learning all the different types of boats, learning how to tie knots, and also the theme parties I was too young to drink at. Some of my favorite parties were the ones with nautical toys and fishing nets all over the walls. I ALSO remember a group of "older kids" in their 20's (I was 8 at the time) who told me I needed to pull down all the streamers and crepe paper. My parents weren't too happy about that. The food was great here, and there are a lot of activities for kids while the parents enjoys adult time. Crafts, movies, and boat tours were commonly available. This is a private club, so make sure you contact a member if you know one, or one of the officers. Their website is layc.net.

While our luck with fishing was limited, we had a great time out on the water in our comfortable boat.

Junior was incredibly hospitable, helpful, and prepared. You can tell he has done this many times because he had everything ready for us, including gas cans, trailer hitch locks, buoys, locks for the trailer, and even cleaning solution and towels to wipe down the jet skis after getting them out of the water. He took the time to explain how everything worked with the trailer and the jet skis, and he answered every question we had. He also had all the vests we needed, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. Pickup and drop-off were both very convenient, and he worked with us on timing, which made the trip even smoother. I really could not have asked for a better experience. I have been renting jet skis for a few years now, and this was by far the best rental experience I have had, especially renting both jet skis and a trailer. The price was also unbeatable. Thank you so much, Junior, for all your help and for helping make our trip another memorable one for the books. I would definitely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for jet ski rentals.

Lake Jodie was built in the late sixties by Leroy Gerald Martin and named it after his daughter…read moreJodie. He used to visit Lake Elsinore but decided it was too busy, dirty and crowded so he decided to buy a plot of land in the middle of nowhere (sorry Newberry springs) and build a private lake for his friends and family. He eventually sold most of the properties. Lake Jodie is beautiful and quiet, and at most has five boats on it at a time. It's the perfect place for people to learn how to ski or wakeboard. It's definitely a different experience than Arrowhead or Mojave. It is a private lake, so you have to know somebody who has a property there to go. There isn't much in the area, it neighbors a pistachio farm, a Mormon church, and a horse shelter. It is not far from the American Legion, the Barn (bar), and a gas station.
