Horrible customer service!! I was called the day before our boat rental that the boat broke down the day before and they wouldnt have parts in time so I was out of a rental. At the point he finally called to tell me we were three hours down the road for our weekend trip. Why he couldnt call me the day it broke so we could have planned accordingly is just rude. Very unreliable place!!!

Captain Kirk and his kind staff were very attentive to our requests/questions. The contract process is as expected, after a brief once over, our 13 passenger luxury pontoon was delivered to our nearby lake for a REALLY low fee. Upon delivery Kirk patiently went over all of he directions (for the 2nd time), Id asked if we could film him, and he obliged. (I didnt want to miss/forget anything). His rates are very reasonable. Wed had some weather, the week we rented. Kirk called to check in on us, if we needed additional fuel, or had any questions or concerns. Returning the pontoon was as

Love the Corner Landing. Have rented a pontoon from there several times and always a great experience. They are very helpful and go over everything that you need to know. They stress that if there is ever anything that you need during your rental to please contact them. The store is cute and has everything that you could want in case you forgot something.

Very nice equipment, the boat was really nice, store was nice and reasonably priced. The man behind the counter was very smug and had an arrogance about him. When we left we ran across more people that thought the same thing. Not sure we would go back.

Really appreciated the last minute boat rental so late in the season! Kirk was very informative and thorough and the pontoon we rented from him was top notch. His tips and guidance helped us navigate around the lakes. Thanks Kirk!!

Great spot to rent boats. They have a store, restaurants, and Tom's doughnuts are so delicious. I met a friend seen in the pic below
