As long as you arrive 30 minutes ahead of time to go through the safety briefing then your boat or jet skis will be ready for you to depart at your schedule time! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the day out on the Colorado River so much and cruising down to the Lake LBJ so much we signed up for a 2nd day! We will definitely come visit them again. The speedboat was clean, easy to drive/handle on the water and the sounds system had been upgraded. We really enjoyed our time on LBJ. Thanks for a great time for our family to make memories. Highly recommend Wave Chasers.

I wanted someone with experience to check out the boat and take us out for the first time so we called Brice at Wakes2u. He sent Dax to meet us at the boat.

It's also nice to know that if I can't be there but our daughter wants to take friends out , there is an experienced captain to go with them. I very highly recommend.

As I'm writing this review I'm still in disbelief on our experience at this place this morning…read more8-17-2024. I called in last night to inquire about a boat rental, I got prices and information on what we would need to rent the boat, which was a drivers license and a credit card, and you had to be born before September 1993. All requirements my husband meets. We headed out this morning and everything was going great, we decided on the boat we wanted, handed over our license and credit card. Our total was well over 1000 dollars which we were ok with. The two men at the front desk were very nice and helping us through the process when the lady from the office "manager" steps out and says she is not allowed to rent to someone who speaks Spanish. I ask what she means by this and she again says she can't rent to some one who can't comprehend English. Yes my husband doesn't not speak English fluently but can comprehend and read it well enough to rent a boat! She stated it's written policy from the insurance which when I asked her to see this written she hid in her office and handed one of the men a sticky note with the insurance information. of course a 1800 number that is closed during the weekend. I really feel bad for the owner of this business because as a business owner my self I know how bad a bad employee can have an influence on a paying customer. I thought racism was a thing of the past especially in area known or advertised for tourism. (Also I did speak to a few agents at Markel the insurance company and they stated that this was not part of their policy, and much rather had to do with the manager or owner of the store we were renting from)

On Thursday 7/28 we rented a pontoon boat and picked it up several hours late as we weren't feeling well with the corona but knew we'd lose our money if we cancelled so we went ahead and picked it up and then when we returned it only half an hour late they charged us $125!

What a rip-off! This week I had two jetskis serviced at the new Full Throttle Seadoo place in…read moreKingsland. All that was done was an oil change and replacing three spark plugs. The bill came to $863.13 or $432 per jetski!! For an oil change which takes 3.5 quarts of oil and a filter! The parts came to about $112, the rest was for labor at $170 an hour plus shop supplies, hazardous waste charge (oil), and credit card fee (3.5%). And by the way, it took this Master mechanic (at $170 he must top-of-the line) 1.5 hours to do this oil change! Incidentally, I looked at an old 2023 bill, when the exact same mechanic changed the oil in the exact same jetskis and it took him 1.2 hours per jetski then. And of course the hourly rate was a lot cheaper back then too (37% cheaper), but it's different ownership now when Full Throttle took over from Highland Lakes Seadoo. I guess they had to increase the time the mechanic worked on these jetskis or raise the labor rate even more to get more money in, but how much more than $170 per hour are you going to charge for a guy doing a basic oil change? Or perhaps the mechanic is slowing down in his old age, who knows? My advice? Perhaps it pays to look for a different place. By the way, all the positive reviews (with the exception of one) are about Highland Lakes Seadoo, which were the previous owners. I liked that place. The new ownership has turned greedy.

We lifted it up onto the dock to keep it safe and help drain the water out. We chose not to get upset/demand a refund because of the cheap rental price ($10). Unfortunately, we were charged over $200 for the deflated tube when all was said and done. We were accused of being on it on dry land, which was not the case. The gentleman who rented it to us no longer would respond to texts after charging our credit card. Very disappointing. This place may be cheaper but if anything goes wrong....you will be paying more than you expected.

Well, let us start with the good stuff:…read more 1. Very personable on the phones and in setting the reservations. 2. Very good prices. 3. It "appears" that they have very good equipment (more on "appears" later). 4. A family-owned shop run by Tammy and her husband and her son. The much appreciated stuff: 1. They were running EXTREMELY late. However, they did call and keep us informed. They offered a significantly delayed pick up that made up for the lost time. This was handled very professionally. The problematic stuff: As you will see below, they did not meet their obligations nor keep their word. As such, our family vacation was significantly hampered and we had to make arrangements that cost us about $1000 extra and lost us considerable time. LakeTime Boat Rentals seems to just be getting going and I hope they mature as a business. However, do you want to put your faith in a company that bails on you and leaves you high and dry? 1. The older male (Tammy's Husband?) became verbally combative in a discussion about damages to their equipment. He spent his first 15 minutes onsite telling us the horrors of damages to HIS JetSkis. Each time ending his particular story about how that damage was "not covered by insurance". Apparently (according to husband), the only thing covered by their recommended insurance was being run over by another boat from behind. 2. In speaking with Tammy during contracting, any damage is covered by the insurance - but of course the deductible applies. I opted for the insurance and took a $1000 deductible (meaning I pay out of pocket for any damages below that amount). Again, Tammy was both pleasant and professional. 3. On a couple of different occasions during drop off, Husband kept saying this or that was not covered. Towards the end, he said he was worried about our location on the lake and wake turbulence damaging his JetSkis. For the third time, he asked if I would take responsibility for some undefined tragedy that resulted from wind or waves or whatnot. I joked back to him that I had purchased the insurance so that would have to cover it. He responded that that kind of damage was not covered by insurance. He did not appreciate my joke and like the Soup Nazi told me "No JetSkis for you!" 4. Finally, in an attempt to get over this whole issue, I asked him what was his real concern and tried to offer solutions to his worry about his RENTAL equipment. On every occasion, he would interrupt and would raise his voice. I actually told him that I was NOT trying to fight with him, just to understand his position. In the end, I also became frustrated by his obstinance and promised this review ... a promise I am keeping. He in turn, promised to "handle" my review. So, they took their JetSkis and PaddleBoard equipment and left (taking some of our safety equipment by mistake - which they returned the next day). They left us high and dry (literally) adding grief to our vacation plans. I would strongly encourage using someone else until LakeTime Rentals gets more experience on how to deal with customers and run a business and keep their word. They get a 1-Star because I would, under no circumstances, risk a vacation on them again.

The owners Luann and Joe are extremely nice, and they seem to really care about you as a person. On top of that, they are both very knowledgeable about everything boat related and can often tell you a solution off the top of their heads. Even though I felt the carb work on our boat was more expensive than I would have imagined (or liked), I did think the pricing overall was pretty fair. This is our first boat, so I'm not well in-tune with that world. Both Joe and Luann were also kind enough to show us around our boat once we told them it's is our first one. They had great invaluable pointers. If you're looking for a down to Earth place where you'll be face-to-face with the owners, Buchanan Boat Works is a great place to take your boat.
