Shaver Lake Marina

We rented a 10 person pontoon. 2 hours was perfect! The lake was low, but still beautiful. Weather was perfect!

Pricing and service are great, and the boats are super comfortable. But I really wish they'd stop using plastic props on their boats because it causes a lot of cavitation. We rented the 24' pontoon with 135 hp motor and could barely get it to go above a snail's pace.completely defeated the purpose of renting a towable tube. We were all bummed. Great boats to tour around the lake and relax, though!

We rented a 12 person pontoon boat in July 2022. I was very disappointed with the quality of the boat. The website lists “Premium Boat” and “Standard Boat”. Unfortunately, the standard boat means very, very old boat. Half of the seats had tears in the stitching of 10 inches or more. The boat was not clean… left water bottles and hair brush from previous borrower. The canopy was metal, not cloth like the boat on the website. I feel like the pictures and descriptions on the marina rental website are not accurate and misleading. For $480, I expected a boat of better quality.

The website said that we could tow with the boat and charged us an extra $30 surcharge. However, the boat topped out at about 10 miles per hour. Yes, we could put a tube behind the boat, but it was far from the “tubbing experience” we were hoping to give the kids.

We still had a good time and made memories. I just am very frustrated with the Shaver Lake Marina website because of its lack of accurate descriptions, surcharges, and poor pictures of true inventory. If renting from this marina, I would call and ask lots of questions before reserving.

Nice little marina store where you can buy a few things related to fishing and such. You can also rent boats here. The staff is efficient and very helpful. They all did a great job getting us our boat and wrapping us up when we returned.

This was my first time at Shaver Lake and our first experience renting a pontoon boat.
All the employees at this marina are phenomenal.
From our first phone call with Megan, to our instructions on how to operate the boat with Bo, to the office mascot Doc, everybody was friendly, informed, efficient, and professional.
They have carts available to load your fishing gear and ice chest from the parking lot to the boat which was really convenient and helped a lot.
They even have an air compressor and will blow up your rafts for you at the back end of the marina. Very sweet and helpful employees everywhere!

It was easy to get in and out of the boat slips and the employees were great at guiding you out and back in when you returned.
They also provide you with a map of the lake to help you navigate your day on the water.

I have not one complaint about this process or any of the people working this operation.
The entire process from start to finish was positive, professional, and completely painless.

We rented a 6 person pontoon boat at a price of $235 for an 11 hour full day. Worth every penny and a bargain across the board.

If you're in the area absolutely try and reserve about you won't be disappointed!

So friendly and nice. Very helpful on how to use everything, will definitely be going back here again.

The service was great the only problem is the quality boats they took us to one boat which had mildew and mold all around the seat cushions which is gross so when we asked for another boat they took us to one that actually worked. Why can’t you just take us to the nicer boats in the first place?

First off, I want to say the only reason that I am giving this other than 1 star is because I got refunded. The place was significantly understaffed which meant that we didn't get our boat until an hour after our scheduled time. However the marina policy is that your time ends on schedule no matter what, so this means I paid for a 2 hour rental, but was only going to get 1 hour worth of time. I had to negotiate to get an hour added to my boat, which would have been great except. We got out of the marina area, and 20 minutes into the trip the battery died and we spent 30-35 mins waiting for someone to swap out the battery. We were up and running for another 20-25 mins and the battery went dead again. Either we had 2 bum batteries in a row, or the boat had a short in it. Finally we got swapped out with a brand new battery and turned a fishing trip into a couple of turns around the lake for 15 mins before we had to go back in. When I mentioned that the boat was not working for half of the time, they tried to tell me that I was all set and could go. I repeated that I spent half of my time drifting with the wind and paying full price didn't seem appropriate, their response was to give me my 15$ gas fee back. I suggested that was enough for what I went through, and eventually I got a full refund. I was not expecting this, I was willing to pay for half of it, which is effectively what I got to make use of, but honestly this is the only reason why I am giving it 3 stars. Had I had to pay half price, this would have been 1 or 2 stars as I think a place should keep their boats in better service than this. I do know that at this time just past covid being fully staffed is difficult.

This marina was very good to my family. We busted a propeller and they helped us out quick and cheap. Jeremy and Beau and Joelyn were especially helpful and kind. Definitely recommend these guys.

Is a beautiful place where you can go with your family and a beautiful place to take pictures or go on hikes

We rented a pontoon boat based on the prices and boat discription listed on their web site. I reserved a 6 passenger boat and was first given a pretty run down 10 passenger boat. There were only 3 of us so that was a lot of extra boat we didn't want or need. I spoke to them and they put us in a smaller run down pontoon with torn seats and mildew on the cushions, which would have been great EXCEPT, that big boat had an 8 hp motor on it. At top speed we never left a wake. They advertise 20/30 hp motors on these boats which would have been much better. But my biggest complaint is that the people who rented the brand new boat just like our run down one paid the same price as I did but they got to see the whole lake (not just half) much more comfortably. I won't be doing business with this establishments again.

Their prices are better than other boat rentals but in order to make a reservation, you have to call them a million times until they actually pick up the phone, it doesn’t go to voicemail either, it just rings indefinitely until you wanna just give up and pay $500 dollars more to other boat rentals just to be able to talk to someone and get it done.

Sucks to leave this because the lake is so beautiful, but just poor customer service. Had to call multiple times to get an answer from the reservations line, but when I did get through I booked a four person fishing boat with a kanopy (As seen on their website). When we arrived, we were told that the person who took my reservation SHOULD have told me that the kanopy was not available (This is new boat, same model, but no covering). Despite admitting that it was their staff's fault for not communicating that when I booked the boat, the company refused to offer any kind of compensation for their failure. I was told to either take the boat or take my money back and leave. We had driven over an hour to get there, so we took the boat. It was an unpleasant service experience. Highly recommend looking elsewhere for rentals.

Person I just spoke with to get information on reserving a boat was rude. Seemed like she had no patience for my questions and was quick to hang up.

I really did appreciate the hard work From the staff. While I was in there for my reservation the phone was ringing none stop. I now understand why it took me a while to get through, but once I was able to talk to someone I got helped by a very nice lady. They have wonderful boats and great prices! I will definitely be recommending this place! Thank you!
