This boat was perfect for our big family on a gorgeous night. Billy was so easy and helpful to work with - a ton of clear communication - and the boat experience was seamless. Will definitely rent from him again!!

Billy made this whole experience absolutely amazing! The boat was brand new and in stellar condition. We had a blast tubing, wakeboarding, and skiing. Billy went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—even stocking the boat with ice for us. When one of us dropped a phone in the lake, he went out of his way (literally diving in!) to try and find it. The boat was fantastic, but Billy’s kindness and extra effort made it an over-the-top experience. Thank you, Billy!

Wonderful experience! Boat was clean and ran flawless. Quiet engine, stable ride and handled well in the chop through the cut. Billy was super friendly. YES, absolutely would recommend renting this vessel.
- AnandAnand
Billy is a great host. He was there on time, walked us through the boat's features, paired my phone for music and even offered us extra drinks in case we needed them. The boat itself is large, powerful and has a lot of seating. Good sound system. The entire experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a few hours on the lake. We will definitely bookmark this listing for the future.

Billy was awesome and extremely friendly. We had an issue while boating where the tow rope went under the boat and got stuck either on the motor or something else. Billy gave some solutions and helped us figure out how to remove the rope. Eventually we got lucky and a nearby passing boat gave us a knife to cut the rope and Billy said we could keep the boat for another hour just because we couldn't move for a while. Definitely a person I would rent from again.

Boat was super clean and Billy was super friendly and showed us the tips on how to drive and dock the boat! We had 12 people for this trip as a team offsite and all had a wonderful time! I’d highly recommend for a team offsite, family weekend activity, or a friend group adventure!

Billy was an absolutely fantastic host! From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond by helping us carry all of our gear to the boat and taking the time to thoroughly explain how everything worked. He was incredibly generous, even allowing us some extra time, and his helpful attitude made our entire trip seamless and enjoyable. Thank you so much, Billy, for your outstanding hospitality!

We had an awesome experience renting from Billy! The boat was in great condition, and it was a huge bonus that wake surfing and tubing were already included with the rental. Billy was respectful, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the entire process.
We accidentally went to the wrong pickup location and ended up running late, but Billy was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our schedule. His flexibility and great attitude made the experience stress-free. I would defini

Everything was as advertised and the boat was great for our group. Communication before and on the day of the rental was superb. Would happily rent again and probably will!
- AlyssaAlyssa
Billy and his family were the best! They communicated well, had everything set up for us upon arrival perfectly, and assisted in an otherwise challenging docking experience. I have rented and owned boats for many years, and can definitely say this was one of the best experience. My family and I will be back in the future.

The boat was awesome and the owner’s help and guidance was just as incredible… explained everything clearly, was on time, had suggestions for destinations, was available for communication during our ride when we had a question… the kids had a blast on the inner tube… the boat goes very fast & handles impeccably well…
Top notch rental experience in every way. - JenniferJennifer★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 22nd

Billy was fantastic to rent from, and the whole experience was 10/10. The boat was in pristine condition, and we had the best day tubing, surfing, and being out on the water. Billy went above and beyond to make everything easy for us, including being incredibly flexible and even dropping the boat off to us on Mercer Island. He truly did everything we could have imagined to make the experience excellent. We would absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a grea

Billy was the best to work with and from all the boats we had rented before, Billy’s boat was trully the best! The boat is gorgeous, spacious, clean as new and works like new! Billy, thank you very much for your accommodations and kindness!
- BrittanyBrittany★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 29th
I couldn’t have asked for a better boating experience!
This was the smoothest process and better than I could have expected.
Billy was flexible with our arrival, had parking coordinated easily for our two cars, was gracious to give us a flexible window to return, had plenty of boating accessories available for us, and was always there to respond to any call or text. He was inviting and kind. 10/10 would book with Billy again. Thanks for giving us a great memory! - JakeJake★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Sep. 02nd

Very laid back, easy process. The boat is fantastic and comfortably fit our group of 7 adults and 2 kids.

Billy was friendly and easy to work with. I rented Billy’s boat for a team event and he was very accommodating throughout. I was running late picking up groceries for the event nearby, but he kindly met and welcomed my team while I was on my way. He was flexible with timing, which we really appreciated. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and comfortably fit our group of 13. I’d definitely recommend Billy’s boat for team outings or group events on the water.

Billy’s Malibu was a wonderful experience! He was responsive in the booking and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. The boat comfortably took 9 and we all had a great time. It was beautiful on the water and not crowded at all. A lot of us learned to wakeboard for the first time and will definitely try to book again. ☀️

We rented Billy's pontoon for my husband's birthday and we had a great time! It was the perfect size for 10 adults + a big dog. The tube was a big hit! Billy was super nice and communicative and helpful, he even had some recommendations for spots we could go to. He helped us get settled in and get into the dock at the end of the day. Can't wait to do this again!
- AnatiAnati★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 29th
The whole booking experience with Billy was 10/10. The boat itself with the surfs and tube was fantastic but the communication and kindness from Billy made everything that much better.
- MegMeg★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)May. 09th
We rented Billy and his wife’s boat to celebrate my husbands birthday and Mother’s Day! It was the perfect way to spend the day. He was communicative leading up to our reservation and made it easy to find day of. His boat was beautifully maintained and was so fun to be on. I am looking forward to making more reservations in the future and would highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for a fun day on the lake.

Our family had a great day.

I can’t recommend renting from Billy enough! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely seamless. The boat was spotless, spacious, and clearly well cared for—perfect for a relaxing day on the water. The location couldn’t be more convenient. Billy himself went above and beyond: he’s friendly, professional, and gave us a clear, thorough walkthrough that made us feel confident and excited before we set off.

Billy was extremely pleasant to deal with and his boat was in top-notch condition. Will be renting from them again in the future.

Billy was a great host. Very communicative beforehand about instructions and pick up spot. When we were picking up he was very thoroughly about giving us a tour of the boat and giving us pointers on how to drive and maximize our time. Overall we had a great time! The pontoon is a great way to spend time with friends. It’s easy to navigate and super comfortable - easily accommodating up to 15. It’s like a floating bar!
- JessicaJessica★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 23rd
Billy's boat is very well equipped with tube, wakeboard, table, stereo and cooler. The boat is very new and comfortable. More importantly he is really flexible and easy to communicate with. Will definitely rent the boat from him again

Billy was fantastic! I have mobility issues & they helped me on & off the boat. It was my mum's first time on a boat & because of Billy it won't be her last. We will be seeing them again at the beginning of summer. Thanks for a great time.
