Lake Memories on an Amazing Sea Ray 240 Sundeck Boat at Lake Lanier
Captain Mark is the best! He showed up early to pick us up, and right away, we could tell he was super friendly and funny. He made sure we got to see and do everything we wanted, which we really appreciated. His boat is gorgeous—just reupholstered and so nice inside! We decided to brave a chilly day for our lake experience, and even though it’s not quite lake season yet, Mark didn't hesitate to take us out! He was all about making our day perfect. If you're looking for a great time on the water, book with Captain Mark. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

2022 Viaggo Tritoon on Lake Lanier at the North end of the Lake ready for fun
Renting with Lenny was SO easy and convenient! We were at Lake Lanier and decided on a whim we wanted to rent a boat and found Lenny’s listing and we’re able to secure the pontoon for the next day. Pick up was easy, drop off was easy and communication was great! It was the perfect boat for our families it was 9 of us on the boat and everyone was more than comfortable. We found an island on the lake and spent the day hanging out. It was so fun! Definitely will be renting with Lenny again!

Lake Lanier Luxury Double Deck w/ Captain & Slide
Captain Dave made the process really easy and simple for out of towners! He gave us the option to cruise for as long as we’d like and then chose a wonderful spot to anchor and swim. There was a great speaker system on the boat, and his enthusiastic approach made the afternoon feel especially festive!
