My husband and I were in town for our 20th Anniversary and rented a boat from Parkway Marina and we had a wonderful day on the water. Everyone was very friendly and helpful with all our questions. Thank you for making our Anniversary week a great one. Highly recommend

I was hesitant to rent a boat from Parkway Marina because of the negative reviews. I was desperate for a last minute rental and they had a boat available the same day that I called. My experience with Parkway was exceptional-it was a flawless experience. The boat rates are very reasonable-they only have full day rentals-no half days. We got there, they reviewed safely procedures and we inspected the boat. Landon suggested we take a picture of the motor for our protection from liability. The marina is located on a beautiful part of SML with great mountain views. We cruised around for several hours

My family and I rented a boat for 2 days this past week. We were so happy with the boat, the staff and how easy it was to rent and dock etc that we decided to rent a larger boat for a 3rd day to go tubing. Definitely the highlight of our trip and I know where we will be going from now on

The owner, James, was very rude and literally yelled at me because his staff interrupted him when he was busy doing something else because they could not answer my questions. The boat was supposed to be a premium boat but it was obviously old, was much slower than it should have been and vibrated and sputtered at full throttle.
