We had an excellent experience. We had a group of 5 kids and 6 adults. Given the group, we arrived a few minutes late. The marina called to make sure we found the location and were on our way. This was very nice. When we arrived, we did the paperwork and were ready to get on. However, the person in charge was a bit worried given the windy weather and how choppy the lake whether it would be safe to take the boat out. Only two of us had boating experience and it was limited. And the rest of the group had limited swimming experience. Nonetheless, they got one of their crew to drive the boat for us (3.5 hrs) for a reasonable fee. It was a phenomenal experience. We will always be using this coming when we come to Lake Geneva.

Out family of seven adults and three children rented their largest pontoon for four hours on beautiful Lake Geneva. We made the reservation several weeks in advance since our rental was over Labor Day weekend. We all arrived twenty minutes ahead of schedule to sign the paperwork and leave a driver’s license. I received instructions on how to use the boat and motor and then we were off. It was a beautiful day and we brought lunch and drinks and then stopped in the middle of the lake so everyone could jump in and enjoy the water. Our whole family agreed it was a special afternoon. Marina Bay staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. The boat was in beautiful shape, practically brand new, and they made getting on and off a breeze. We will definitely rent from them again

We ha a group of 11 women for our Family girls weekend (Mom, daughter and Granddaughters) We booked the 25 foot with a caption (Cory?) and it was awesome! The Caption was aware of the lake and brought us to safer areas to swim. The Lake gets a bit nuts with tourist and non experienced boaters so it was way worth having this service.
Thank you Marina Bay team!

What a great day. Our family of 5 booked a 25 foot Pontoon boat with tube on a Friday, 8/7/20. Everything went great. We were able to reserve a boat the day before what was a perfect sunny day with minimal wind. The check in process went well, and as they recommended, we got there 20 minutes before reservation time. Before 10am, there was plenty of parking right next to the dock @ $2/hr. The staff went over the boat operations with us, and we enjoyed a beautiful day. The 25 foot boat had plenty of power to easily entertain teenagers on the tube and was easy to drive with minimal experience. The boat was clean and operated well, and the lake was warm. Total cost (boat, tube, tax) was $580 for 3 hours...well worth it for the fun. We will definitely go back next summer, probably for a 4 hour rental.

We had a great time with a group of adults celebrating a 30th birthday on Lake Geneva. We rented a large pontoon from Marina Bay -- Jack was our captain. He did a great job showing us the sites and was a perfect mix of "foreground/background" as needed. The rentals are not inexpensive but for a special occasion, we could not have been happier with the experience. Thanks, Marina Bay!!

Be sure you know the FULL "rain check policy" before booking or leaving the dock! We went out on a day with a projected forecast of 90 degrees and full sun. After an hour on the lake a storm moved in and it rained the remaining three hours (total 4 hour rental). We spent that time trying to outrun the clouds and make the best of it despite being pelted with rain and shivering. We assumed that since we had gone out and we had not been contacted by phone or text by Marina Bay with a weather advisory or option for a rain check that it was a use it or lose it situation. As we pulled in, the person who met us to dock the boat was very kind and said wow, that storm came out of nowhere and that we would get a full raincheck that would not expire, very friendly and sympathetic as she helped us unload all of our soaking wet gear and 6 disappointed kids ages 3-16 (one whose birthday we were celebrating). When I inquired at the booth the woman said she would give us a 30 minute rain check! I said that the other person had offered a full rain check and she would not budge, hesitated to give 30 minutes. At that point I was holding about 30 pounds of rain-soaked towels, it was still pouring and I was exhausted from huddling under the boat canopy with the 9 others in our group, being rained on for three hours, that I just wanted to get home. I will say the boat was excellent and had I known the details of the rain check policy (which is apparently more detailed than what I was told on the phone, and which is not noted on the website anywhere I can find) or if they had contacted me by phone or text during the rental to let us know we could come back and gotten a raincheck (even for 2-3 hours) I would have definitely taken them up on it.

3 hours before we were supposed to go out, Marina Bay called to cancel our reservation and tried to force us into a rain check due to the potential of weather. We asked if it cleared up, would we still be able to use part of the reservation. They said no because they all wanted to go home. Zero rain drops. Beautiful day that could’ve been spent on the lake with our family, but wasn’t because they’re a close minded company who would rather take and hold your $$ for a rain check than actually stay and do their job. All other boat rental companies on the lake kept their reservations, so this wasn’t about safety...it was all about greed and convenience for the staff. Choose ELMERS or GORDYS next time.

We want to clarify the situation to you, Sean Sandona and Erin Smith, about what transpired 3 hours prior to your rental at Marina Bay Boat Rentals. Unfortunately, we cannot predict the weather and we made the best decision based on the radar and high winds heading into the area to prevent an unsafe experience for our guests and crew. The company reserves the right to refuse rental service to anyone which deems unauthorized, for the safety of all. Due to your hostile attitude, disruptive behavior, and threats to sue Marina Bay, the staff decided to cancel your reservation and not charge you. Sean, even if the weather was conducive for boating unfortunately we could not have rented to you, due to your explosive reaction and disrespect to our staff. However, Marina Bay Boat Rentals is grateful that you and your family were able to get out.

It was a great rental, the 25 foot pontoon boat looked like it was new and very clean. Our party included 8 adults and we greatly enjoyed the trip around the lake. Would highly recommend this rental. This was our second time with them and it was just as good as the first time.

My family had a great afternoon on the lake on Wednesday, August 2, 2023. We reserved the 25 foot pontoon boat the day before, and everything was arranged and ready to go when we arrived on Wednesday. The crew at Marina Bay were fantastic, as they have been on other occasions in recent years. With about 10-12 kids and adults who wanted to go tubing, we needed to come back to the dock a couple of times to "change shifts." The "crew" facilitated each of the shifts, docking the boat for us and assisting passengers getting on and off the boat. They were polite and cheerful, with no trace of the condecension or boredom you sometimes get from some kids.
Marina Bay IS the #1 boat rental business, as far as we are concerned. We hope to see them again next summer. They get my heartiest recommendation!

What a great day on the lake!!! A group of 9 ladies for a bachelorette party celebration. Our captain Luke was great. He took us around the lake and highlighted some of the various residences and businesses along the ride then let us just chill and swim for a couple of hours before it was time to head back. Will definitely rent with Marina bay boat rentals again. All of the staff were very friendly at checkin and on the dock were friendly.

Hi! My husband and I are interested in renting a boat with another couple to celebrate our wedding anniversaries. What is the best size boat to rent for a fun day on the water?
