Everyone at the base was super friendly and helpful. Our original boat had an issue but we were upgraded to a newer boat. Would highly recommend using this base.

The best boat I've ever chartered (out of 15+) Really good condition, basically everything worked. Busted an outhaul and they replaced in a couple hours. Would definitely get THIS boat again.
