The staff were great! The boats are nice, but they ones we (we had 2, 1 for about 3 days but the second day we had it we weren't able to use it because it was sinking so they took it to maintenance, and one for a day) and could have used some TLC. The only problem we had was with the first boat and that it was sinking, I feel like the situation could have been resolved better but otherwise the staff was nice and we had a good time!

Pure and simple, reserved an 8 hour pontoon rental, paid in full, but was told that they open at 9a and have to return at 4p, as they have another person renting. So that is 7 hours. When you plan on docking for dinner at 4pm at Terrace Grill Baypointe, it ruined our day, with the deception. The boat was ok, 50HP motor is really slow, but bottom line is they booked me for 8 hours and threatened to charge $85 for every 15 minutes after 7 hours....wow. Fortunately I learned about a boat dealer down the street that rents pontoons and wow, what a better experience. Live and learn, some people deceive

What a great place to rent a boat, me and my wife came here during the afternoon one day and got a boat rental, it was amazing. the boat we had was a 2018 pontoon and it was so beautiful!! the staff is amazing and they helped us learn how to drive the boat and showed us a map of the lake so we would not damage anything during the rental. WE WILL BE COMING BACK AGAIN. thank you gun lake rentals for a great time!!

Why was gun lake marina and rentals awesome you ask? To start, the employees were OUT OF THIS WORLD! I have no boating experience and the staff were SO helpful and got me up and going in no time! All super sweet humans and answered any questions right then and there. Also very nice leather seats on the boat. I would recommend this to your family, friends, neighbors, aunts, uncles etc! 10/10.
