Do NOT rent here. We are experienced boaters and had a terrifying experience with their pontoon…read morerental. The boat's engine failed on the water, leaving us drifting into a rocky shoreline in dangerous, choppy conditions. Neighbors ran down to help, children were crying, and several people were injured. The company told us not to call the Coast Guard (others did anyway) and promised help--but instead sent two men in a truck who could only take three people, stranding the rest of us with small children and no keys or phones. When we finally got back, the owner was rude, blamed us, insisted his boats never fail, and tried to charge us the full rental plus $2,000 for damages--on the boat that had broken down. Check the Google reviews before booking--this isn't the first time this has happened. Spend your money elsewhere.

Winter rafting with Jordan Valley Outfitters was an incredibly wonderful experience. It was by far…read moreone of the coolest experiences I've ever done! Reserving my party's spot online was easy. I received an email with all of the information and directions I needed beforehand. The bus ride to the river's start point was comfortable. On the way, we were briefed on what to expect and safety information. The winter rafting ride was magical. We were lucky enough to have just gotten a fresh snowfall. The views truly looked like a scene out of a movie. The Jordan River was a stable flow therefore little paddling was required. The snow's heaviness weighed some branches down over the river so some ducking was in order! Our guide, Sam, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable about the river, area, and provided great local recommendations! Partway on our journey, our guide led us off the river. Where we were treated to homemade cookies and hot drinks. Run don't walk to Jordan Valley Outfitters!

For anyone considering a dock or lift system, you could not do better than to choose Bulmann…read more My experience with Bulmann is from working with Chris Binger over the course of the past six weeks or so. I purchased a boat from Dry Harbour in Charlevoix and needed a lift to keep the boat safe and dry. I knew from years of looking at lifts and seeing them all over Lake Charlevoix this was the best constructed and best looking lift. So, in working through Dry Harbour (a Bulmann dealer) I was put in touch with Chris. Total professionalism and attention to detail. I am a very particular guy and was completely happy. I have a property on the South Arm of the lake and have a deep water application. Chris came out several times to fit the lift to the conditions and then Bulmann delivered the unit right for my needs. Several times they needed to level the lift, as the lift settled into the bottom silt and then again when the weight of the boat was on the lift. Each time they didn't settle for good enough but took the time to do it right and get it level. The crew led by Kurt and Rick were extremely friendly, careful and helpful. My dream of a new boat and lift to hold it came true this past weekend and all along Bulmann was going to be part of the picture. I made the best choice for me and encourage anyone out there considering a lift system to not miss taking a long look at Bulmann's product - you couldn't find a better choice. Thank you guys -

I cannot believe this company; last year they installed our dock and it was seemingly amazing…read more Until we asked them to put our dock in this year and they've yet to do it. They told us for 9 weeks they would get the dock in and continue to string us along. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. I'm shocked they are even in business with the lack of professionalism. Good luck ever getting your dock back in with this company; they are only good if you have to buy new and then they are on time and ready to go. Otherwise they are not honest and completely unreliable.
