We had such a fun time white water rafting! Overall, it was a really great experience, and the…read moreentire staff was so kind and welcoming. Loading and unloading were very organized, and Gary, our bus driver, was absolutely great. We were pleasantly surprised to find they had a little snack-style breakfast available before we loaded, although we didn't know about it until right before we left. Lunch was probably the biggest disappointment, mostly because we didn't stop until we were almost finished with the trip. We also weren't sure when we would be stopping, so we didn't have water with us for quite a while... we were definitely the last rafting company to stop for lunch, the moral was getting low. Even our guide mentioned something about not knowing when we would stop. Our guide seemed fairly new, but the river wasn't overly intense, and we never felt truly unsafe. There were a couple of moments that made us a little nervous, but overall the rafting itself was SO much fun. One thing that definitely affected the experience was some of the other guests. Unfortunately, you can't control people's manners, and there were a few who were pretty rude and inconsiderate, especially at lunch. It was supposed to be ladies first, but we watched people cut the line and take huge amounts of food for themselves and their husbands. It was honestly pretty frustrating to watch and took a little of the fun out of that part of the day. That said, we had a blast and would absolutely recommend giving it a try! The staff was kind, the organization was good, and being out on the river was an awesome experience. A few small improvements with communication around food, water, and lunch would make an already great day even better.

I had no plan to rent a boat but the fleet looked well cared for (almost new) and I jumped. The crew was really nice and helpful. I took out a "Tritoon"with a 200hp Yamaha. The lake is huge and there is some amazing sightseeing. I found a cove, anchored, finished up some work and then went for a swim. My 2 hour rental flew by and when I arrived back at the dock, the crew was waiting to help dock and replace my used fuel. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For a spur of the moment adventure it was amazing. I highly recommend Bridgewater Marine.

The negatives: The boat is pretty shabby and in need of some repairs and a facelift. We wished that there were more places to sit on the upper deck, not around tables.

The houseboat had a slide on the rooftop deck that was so fun to use. We had packed food for ourselves so that we did not need to leave the houseboat for those 3 days. That way we maximized our time in the water! Would love to do this trip again!

The pricing here for a pontoon boat is one of the best you'll find in Smith Mountain. The trade off…read morefor that price is boat speed. Our boat was SLOW. Ever other boat was passing us in the lake, including every other pontoon boat. The boat itself was clean and worked well but was a bit torn up and dented in places. Only other complaint was the horn and radio not working - supposed to be used to signal danger, etc. They said we had to use the whistle instead of the horn. We asked if we could just get a different boat and the woman replied "I think none of our boats have horns that work."

Having been boating for 30+ years, on SML for 10 year & the founder of SML boating club, we know our boats. We have rented from this company for the last 4 years...every 4th of July and well in advance so we can attend a friend's island party via water. So this year, the owners decide to CANCEL our 4th of July, 3-day rental, 1 day before pick up. They claim it was because my wife attacked them on the phone when she called to confirm pickup and asked if the red tritoon that was parked at their dock was the tritoon we were going to rent for $600+? But was that the real reason? Keep reading... Having a 100% right to know the equipment we plan to put our family and children on...we were concerned because the red tritoon we saw when stopping by one day, (office wide open but nobody around) was in very poor condition and in our opinion was not overly reliable, safe or rent worthy. Never giving my wife a straight answer on the phone, the owners get defensive and claim attack...but come to find out they double booked the tritoon by accident. So why they truely cancelled will never be known... but the owners claim they have a mile long waiting list...so cancelling us sure did help their situation. So we are now left 1 day before the holiday weekend with a house full of family and guests expecting to attend a friends annual party by water with no boat. THANKS WET CONNECTION! Never again for us. Since moving from Crazy Horse this place is in awful shape. I would suggest you simply drive by and take a look at their place and their equipment before renting. If youre happy with what you see. Great...but for us, there is no way I'm jeopardizing my family time, safety or well being on the lake. No way!
