It’s an honor to be the first to write a review on renting this amazing boat on an amazing lake. We were visiting Columbus from San Diego , CA and I wanted to do something fun with my family. This was the perfect choice. Not only was the boat brand new, but David was super cool, and responsive to all questions about the boat and Buckeye Lake. This was worth every cent, and I’d do it again. Thank you David for a great day on the lake. Victor

Zach
Had fun in the sun and had no issues with the boat or the owners. Private parking in a secure area. Nice boat, new not all beat up. Everything worked and the day was amazing. Strong enough engine to pull a tube for extra fun. The owners offered use of a huge swim mat. We did not use it, but we saw plenty out there and they seem pretty nice.
Bob
The boat was perfect. We had a memorable day on the lake with our family. The owner went out of his was to make it a special day for us. Thank you David!
Teresa
David was very accommodating since we had to pivot because of possible weather issues, and made sure we could get on the water and enjoy the day. If the need arises again needing another watercraft, I will definitely reach out to him again.

Boat was fantastic! Way better than the one we rented days before from a rental company. It was basically brand new and David was exceptional.
Teresa
David made sure we had everything we needed for a fun day on the lake! He communicates well and he made sure to be at the dock to help as as we took off and as we returned. Can’t wait to do it again!
Jennifer
David is absolutely fantastic to work with. He is very accommodating and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed for a fun day on the water: cooler, swim matt, life jackets, maps, helpful hints on where to go with the kids and what restaurants to visit, etc. Boat itself was also great. Brand new. Clean and very well maintained. Plenty of space for everyone and lots of storage for belongings. Handled great on the water. We had such a great time. Thanks so much David!
Donovan
Renting was an easy process and David made it even easier with his eagerness to help and inform us of amenities on the lake. The boat we rented for a day was immaculate and allowed us to make the best out of our day on the water. We came for a weekend, but will definitely be coming back to rent again.
Cody
Thank you so much for an excellent pontoon rental experience. David and his family are extremely easy to work with. Not only is he friendly, but he's flexible and very responsive. I would recommend using them in the future. Best prices and rental experience on the lake.
Teresa
Awesome experience all the way around. The boat was in superb condition and the owners were great to work with.
Alex
Our family had a great experience renting David’s pontoon on Buckeye Lake. He was very helpful, communicated well and provided everything we needed including proper kid life jacket sizes. The pontoon was in great and clean condition and performed well. We appreciated Ed’s help and lake information too. Would rent from David again in the future.
John
We had an amazing time at Buckeye Lake and having a boat made our experience even better. David was very communicative and flexible with our schedule. He dropped the boat off at our AirBnB early so that we would have it available as soon as we arrived, and he even came back to pick it up once we left. He had great recommendations for where we should go and eat on the lake and because of that I feel we got to see some hidden gems. 10/10 would recommend if you are heading to Buckeye lake and need a boat.
