If you'd like to experience what it's like to be on Deadliest Catch then look no further. We reserved a 4 hour time slot on a pontoon. Our family has plenty of experience on pontoons, and my Father was driving. Many times we were assured that even though it would be choppy, it would be fine. As soon as we got out of the channel, we were bombarded by larges swells and waves in excess of 4-5ft. Instantaneously we were soaked.

7-17-21. After repeatedly asking if the weather was too windy, Sharks Cove let us take a pontoon boat out in water with 3+ chop that was not safe for consumers. Returned the boat after 40 minutes and were told we could get no refund (not even a couple of hours) for our 4 hour rental. Tried to speak to the manager and we were repeatedly told by the person at the window that they were the manager. Not safe and not fun. Bottom line: had we known how rough the waters were (since we asked repeatedly) we would not have taken the boat out at all. We Wont be back to anything at Sharks Cove
