It was super cool and a little scary because this boat was awesome getting up to speed. Just went out for a short 2 hour trip and we brought some water toys they offer. Unfortunately we LOST the tube on the way back to the dock. I'm so sorry again for losing the tube. Staff was so sweet and they write on everything "majors outpost" so I hope it is brought back. I tipped a bit extra to thank them for not charging me for the tube. I think next time we need to check out the jet skis! Thanks again I'll be back Side note: Tried to rent last summer but had to cancel due to fire evacuations. I received a full refund which was greatly appreciated after the stress of the fire. Luckily my family's cabin still stands in mill creek and we were able to come back this summer.

Had a friend come up in the winter for some fishing and decided to try Big Daddy's so we wouldn't just freeze in a rental boat drowning worms. What a great experience and adventure being on the lake in a snowstorm in his awesome boat plus he had a heater making it comfortable. He took us across Lake Almanor to a couple of secret spots and set everything up.... then bam the fish started biting! We both caught our limit of some of the best trout I've ever seen it was a blast. He even cleaned them for us and trout was on the menu. If you want to fish Lake Almanor and actually catch fish this is your guy plus I learned a few tips on how to fish the lake. Great experience and he also made it fun. I will definitely be going again.

Staying in Chester, the western shore of Lake Almanor was a short adventure on the first night of…read moremy stay in the area. Some of the western shore comprises of private property with no beach access but there is a public beach and campground area a few miles out of town. The effects of the 2021 Dixie Fire are seen along the drive, but there were still some green pines along the shore. The beach itself was rocky but wonderfully windswept and dramatic. Late on a Saturday afternoon it was very quiet-only 2 boaters coming in and no one else using the day use area. The water was very choppy following some afternoon thunderstorms and the skies were very moody. It was a nice way to stretch my legs after a long drive from the Bay Area and hope I get the chance to check out the East shore during my visit.

Mostly at Eagle Lake, Spalding area. Shop has been open in Susanville, Ca. For two years. Not only are fees reasonable, but quality of services is outstanding. I had a problem with my mercury kicker motor which no shop I had taken it to could fix. This was a 14 year quest; took it to James and problem fix in one day. He is very knowledgeable and most importantly honest. You will never need to worry about being taken advantage of. Scale of services from 1 to 10 , I would rate it 15 or better. If your in the Lake Almanor area, the drive to Susanville will be worth the effort. Any local shop at Almanor won't be able to come close to service or price. Don't be fooled make the drive to Susanville.

It takes tokens to use the showers (2.50 ea) and they refused to sell us tokens for our group because they were "for other customers." The lady working the counter literally slammed a handful of tokens on the counter and was incredibly rude when she told us she was saving them for "other customers." Not only was it frustrating to not be allowed to use the showers but Ive never met more rude people when trying to spend my money. Absolutely do NOT recommend this place.

Scott, the owner, called me to cancel the boat rental we had, and rather than being contrite, he got upset at me and hung up the phone on me. When I called back, he started yelling at me, telling me why he should feel bad, as it was him that was losing business and money. Instead of apologizing and offering an alternative, he started being accusatory. My family was very excited about a boat rental and he did not even have the common courtesy to apologize. I hope you are reading this Scott, and see the error of your ways!!!!!
