We rented the party barge for 4 hours of fun on the Columbia River, departing from Crescent Bar (which was beautiful!) The party barge was spacious and provided (optional) shade (it was during the July record heatwave of 2021). We packed a lunch and had a great time. The boat was clean and easy to drive. Plenty of speed when needed. We pulled off at the sand bar and had lunch, which was a nice break. Rich & his wife were so helpful and had such a great attitude. They were patient and got us all outfitted with the right size life jackets. He probably wouldn't want me to share this, but as he was helping us tie up the boat at the dock at the end of our time, I think we kept him on his toes and he ended up in the river. He climbed back up on the dock with a big smile on his face. It made our day. He was such a happy guy. I totally recommend Columbia Jetskis. Thanks for everything, Rich!

We rented a ski boat and most recently a pontoon boat with a slide and we have had Great service from Joe, everything has been in working condition with the exception of a radio one time which was no big deal. We also rent 2 jet skis every year. There has been wear and tear on a couple but I alway send Joe a picture of the damage when we first get them. Are they brand spanking new in stellar condition NO thats because renters don't take care of the equipment, Joe does a great job of working with us and I have appreciated the relationship we have every year. I have found Joe to be very accommodating and helpful. Thank you Joe for the great service!!

He gave clear instructions on how to operate the boat and gave tips on where to explore on the Columbia River. We had a full day rental, but ended up calling it a little short. We gave Joe a heads up and he met us early on the dock. All in all it was a well run operation that gave us a wonderful day on the water. It is important to call out that the boat was a little worn. There were a couple of holes in the seats and the stereo was a little challenging to get working. Joe and team would do better to have updated pictures on their site so everyone would have clear expectations as to the condition of the boat. That being said, the boat operated perfectly, the motor started with a quick turn of the key, and the bimini was is good operating condition.

Many Thanks to Curt and Tammy Conner, owners of Sandbar Marine Service & Storage! We had some…read moreunexpected engine/electrical issues with our Reinell ski boat last week, and Curt was absolutely awesome in allowing us to drop it by for him to look over and troubleshoot. It was a busy Friday afternoon in July, and while the shop was swamped with boats, Curt took the time to run the engine and check it over. While the specific issue we had encountered remained elusive, the boat ran perfectly the rest of our vacation up at Crescent Bar. Really helped give us some peace of mind knowing a Volvo Penta Certified, Professional Marine Mechanic had given us the green light. Saved our vacation for sure! Thanks Again! Steve & Lisa Klein

Between filling up at the gas station and getting back to the rental dock the gas gage had gone from full to 3/4. The kid checking me in called up to his manager who told him they said they could charge me (extra inflated marina prices for 1/4 of the tank) or I could fill it myself back at the gas dock. So I went back, spending almost 45 minutes to "fill" for less than two gallons of gas. I will never rent from them again.

This time we pushed off from this marina....well, we didn't really use the dock of the marina, we just threw our kayaks in the agua and hopped in our hoopties. The parking is adequate and the facilities are pretty nice. The water here is fairly protected and away from the main flow of the Columbia; although it is a little slimy and gooey in spots. If you go to the "lagoon to the left, you have some nice still water options. It was interesting to paddle around this patch because every few seconds huge cuts and spashes would happen around you (I assume these must have been bass trying to have me lunch). We wanted to practice flipping ourselves in our crafts and getting back on our rides, so we headed out for the open water of the Columbia. Man, there were plenty of people on the water this day, but we managed to find a good place to dunk ourselves---I didn't really mind since it was hella hot out. There are plenty of put-in options in the Tri-Cities and this is but one, but it was certainly adequate, free, and provided an afternoon of fun.
