Simply call by noon to make your kayak reservation. They have two hour rentals for 20bucks. Or you could do half a day or full day rentals for 35 at most. We did the two hour rental since it was my first time. Anyways, we reserved them for 1-3pm and we were running late we called to let them know which it wasn't a problem at all. They were super nice. Got there signed waiver and paid. Went to the dock and he already had them waiting for us. It was the perfect day, highly recommend going if you haven't done so already :) we even made some new friends in the river haha

We were in Ky enjoying a nice weekend at Lake Herrington with our family. We decided to rent a…read morepontoon to have an extra boat so that everyone can all hang out and still social distance themselves. Chimney Rock Marina is one of a few marinas in the area that offers pontoon rentals. The Marina is well kept and family run. The pontoon was a 21' Bentley, which was clean and a decent rental. We had a great afternoon on it. Overall great experience and nice memories made. I did want to mention that I was a bit taken back when we returned the pontoon keys. We came back to the Marina and immediately walked the kids back to the RV to change and clean up a bit. Part of the rental agreement is "no pets allowed " We are rule followers, and we locked up our dog in the RV all day. When my wife and I, and now our dog on a leash, walked back down to the Marina to drop off the keys and end the rental, the owner accused us of bringing the dog on the boat. It was very awkward and really turned me off. I encourage them to review their video ( cameras everywhere) to stand corrected. 1 star off.

I prefer this side of the lake anyway so you don't have a ton of options but for what you pay, improvements should be made. They redid the dock story last year after new ownership and that's about it.

The weather was enjoyable in late September and the shaded top deck had 360° views. The crew were friendly and attentive, the boat clean and in good shape. There is a drink menu available online, the prices were reasonable and the selection extensive. Nathan was our guide and we recommend them. They were knowledgeable and got a few laughs out of us. The sites seen along the way were lovely and some only accessible by boat. Passing under the bridges and by nature was made more fun knowing their history, we also saw the effects of the recent flood. We didn't see the distillery, but that might have been a different tour, different season or a result of the flood, but we got to see the singing bridge, which we were told would be deconstructed in time. We had a great time aboard the Kentucky River Boat and would return. Be sure to tip your tour guide as ours added to the experience!

First off let me say, my experience with Danny and Marine Works has been amazing. I told Danny from…read moreday 1, if they treat me right and take care of me they'd have a customer for life. They've done exactly that and then some. I wholeheartedly recommend Marine Works and owner/master mechanic Danny for an overall quality experience. Before I bought a boat from them they did the maintenance and fixed anything i had wrong with my original boat. Danny would take the time to walk me through troubleshooting to make sure it wasn't something small before I drove an hour to bring my boat down there. He always shot me straight and was fair which I appreciated immensely. Fast forward a year and I bought my brand new boat from them. The process was seamless and they took care of everything for me. If I didn't like how something was done they made it right. Danny has always made me feel like a priority which is all you can ask for from a dealer.

Good customer service is not dead!!! It is alive and well at Marine Works!!! As I said before, I don't live there but if I did I would buy my boat from them! Thanks Janice and Tina!!!

I will say, this year, I miscounted how many people I had on the lake-- you can only have 10 people per boat depending on the boat. We got a super standard! Well, I was planning for this boat trip- I forgot to include myself. Some guy working made a comment and said someone has to go home because I have 11 people and didn't provide solutions. He scolded me for not paying attention. However, we had two people rent our a dingy which in hindsight- if he would've mentioned that then they would make more money-- instead of scolding my group for having ONE extra person. Also! Book ahead when getting a boat! They fill up fast and when I called about the weather looking like it might lightening and thundering-- they were not concerned and said I could reschedule but they don't have many weekends. I'd suggest they be more willing work with people on weather and to remind people on protocols such as 10 people and offering solutions.

If you purchase the buffet, they have you placed at an assigned table. The buffet was better than expected. We're not talking gourmet, but an above average meal. Salad, grilled veggies, roasted potatoes, and herb chicken. Some rolls and of course cookies and pastries at the end of the line. A picky observation, the cucumbers were sliced so thick that we couldn't cut them with our plastic knife. Once they ran out of rolls, there was no restock. Same with the water & lemonade. They only refilled the pitchers once during the two hour tour. I'm guessing they wanted us at the bar. At $12 for a bourbon & $7 for a coke, I can see why. Our only suggestion would be to fix the PA system so we could understand the garbled messages. And it would be nice if someone from the crew actually told us what we were seeing as we passed fancy houses, barges and buildings.
