    Beautiful boat. Emil was super helpful walking us through everything, accommodating to our schedule, and was perfectly on time. Provided life jackets, skis, tube, wake board. We had a wonderful day on the water and look forward to renting your boat again. Thanks!!

    What can I say that has not already been said. Emil rocks and his boat is top notch. He was there waiting with the boat ready to go when we got there. He had a mountain of life jackets to try on. The tube was already inflated and hooked up. The boat was in great condition and had all the required safety gear. Emil was flexible on scheduling the pick up. 10/10!

    I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Emil is friendly and flexible with the schedule. If I had one suggestion for other people using this boat for wakeboarding is... bring your own equipment. You'll enjoy it more. I ended up buying one in our lunch break and it was way easier to wake in the lake.

    I can’t recommend renting with Emil highly enough! This was the second time I’ve rented one of Emil’s boats, and both times have been wonderful experiences. Not only is he extremely fast to respond and goes out of his way to provide you with fun experience, but this boat is also brand new. If you are looking to have a great time on the water, rent with Emil!

    Emil and his wife were great. Boat was all ready and on time right at my local launch. Super new and clean. They provided plenty of choices for watersports life vests, and had a tow rope and innertube all set up. And they were there for pickup right on time too. We gave them the boat and left, they handled all on and offloading. Highly recommend!

    Emil was great! Communicated well and offered tubes and accessories for our boat day. Easy check in, already had the boat in facing the water. Flexible with pick up times. Was a busy day at the lake and was able to pull the boat out smoothly without issue. Boat was spacious for 7 (bigger than looks in pictures and under seat cooler helped with space). Overall would rent again.

    Excellent all around! The boat was clean and well cared for. Ran like a dream. Emil had the boat launched and ready when I arrived and was ready to pick up when we returned. We used tube and water skis - all in great shape. Gas refill was incredibly convenient and receipt for gas matched expectations 100%. I will definitely rent this boat again!

    Emil was an excellent host and his boat is flawless. We booked his boat less than 24 hours hours before our expected launch time... and Emil was very accommodating for the specific time and place we wanted to launch the boat and brought a large variety of life jackets/floats for us to choose from. We will certainly rent from him again! Thanks Emil!

    This was such an amazing experience for our family. We were visiting from Utah and made the last minute decision to rent a boat and head out on the lake. Emil was so accommodating and helpful. His boat is fully equipped and well taken care of. We towed our 2 kids around Lake Washington all day long and it was so much fun! Emil is an awesome guy and the boat is exactly as it is in the pictures. We may have to make this a tradition. Thank you for sharing the boat!

The boat was great, very clean and well maintained. Emil did a great job explaining all the details about the boat. We had a great time. Thanks Emil. We will definitely rent from you again!

    We had a wonderful day on the water in Emil's SeaRay. We are 2 families - at total of 8 people - with teenage boys and spent hours tubing, learning to water ski, and wake board. The boat was a perfect size for us - very clear - everything worked and performed wonderfully. It has a surprising amount of storage. Emil was great to work with - very responsive, on time, organized, and friendly. Thanks for a great day

    Emil was so kind and professional. He made sure we were safe and also gave us extra time because one of our group was late. His boat and water toys were in top condition. We only used a quarter tank for 4h of constant riding on lake Stevens (wakeboard etc). Will try to rent again for sure.

    It was a great experience taking Emil's boat out into Lake Washington. We picked up the boat in Sunnyside dock near gas works. He was right on time and waiting for us. He was kind enough to provide us with tube, skiis and life jackets. The boat ride itself was really smooth. This was my first time tubing as well so I had a lot of fun. On the way back I just had to text him and he was back to pick up his boat. Overall it was a pretty smooth day with no problems whatsoever. I would definitely recommend renting Emil's boat, and will do so myself if I get some free time again.

    Emil and his wife are amazing hosts. They are very communicative before the rental. They are flexible on times and where to meet them as well. The boat is a blast and in amazing condition. It has enough power to tow multiple riders on a tube and cruise all of Lake Washington. Emil ensures the boat has all the toys you'd want for the day. Totally recommend and will use again in the near future.

He was timely, attentive, nice, and had plenty of fun water gear for us to choose from. The Sea Ray (which was already in the water when we arrived!) was in great condition, was very comfortable, and handled really nicely. We look forward to renting from Emil again in the future!

    Emil was awesome. This is my 2nd time renting from Emil and my 6 or 7th time renting through Boatsetter. I have to say out of all the boats I have experienced Emil's is the best. The boat is practically new and Emil provided life jackets and an inner tube to use. Emil is flexible and lets you choose your drop off location. We arrived at the exact time agreed on and Emil had the boat in the water and ready to go. The day on the lake was beautiful and the boat was perfect for the 5 of us. I would highly recommend Emil for your next boating adventure!

    Booked boat for second time, the boat is fantastic. The tube photographed was not what was provided. Emil explained what happened, but the results of the day were not what was communicated ahead of time or paid for. Also having issue getting my deposit back despite Emil telling me I was good. Rather frustrating, I will not be booking from Emil again based on this experience.

    Thanks to Emil for a fantastic Memorial Day on the lake. We loved the boat- clean, easy to use, fun to drive, lots of storage for all our things. We enjoyed taking in all the sights, using the included inflatable and swimming in the lake. The depth finder was handy too, for docking. Emil was on time for drop off and pick up. It’s so nice just taking your stuff and leaving at the end of the day- like a concierge boat service! Thank you and we look forward to more days on this boat this summer!

    Emil was waiting for us when we arrived with a huge array of lifejackets and toys for the kiddos. His tube recommendation was spot on and the kids had a blast playing. The boat was beautiful, clean, and easy to drive. The binoculars inside were a nice touch as well. My daughter was so excited to look at the snow on Mt. Rainier. Our littles didn't quite make it to the end of our rental and Emil met us early for our return. We will use Emil and his boat again!

    Emil was a wonderful owner. He was there exactly on time, had the boat ready to go and was more than willing to answer all of our questions and give us a great orientation before we took off.

    Everything he had was nice and clean. The boat performed perfectly.

    A great owner, great communication, great punctuality. All in all, a wonderful boatsetter experience. Would highly recommend renting one of his boats...

    Thanks Emil!

    Emil has a shiny brand-new boat and he is really easy to communicate. He has a tons of equipment to choose from. He also helped with fueling the boat so we don't need to, which saved a lot of time for us. My friend and I had a wonderful day on lake washington!

    This was a beautiful new boat in pristine condition. Making the arrangements for pick up and drop off was easy. Everything was as described, and as promised. It was completely turnkey. It could not have been easier, or more pleasant.

    Couldn’t have had a better experience on Emil’s boat. From his customer service to the performance of his Sea Ray, my party and I enjoyed the full 8 hours of rental.

    If you’re looking for an experience consistent with your expectations around being timely, friendly and informative communication, and a great time on the lake I would recommend Emil.

    The boat is exactly how it is pictured, maybe even better with the Bimini top out in the Seattle sunshine. Super fun, clean and versatile for our family of 4 plus 3 more friends. Easy to navigate, great storage and a dream to captain. Emil was a pleasure to work with. He had all the accessories you could ever want plus exceptional communication and superb on-point follow through. Highly recommend renting from Emil, just don't take one of my days!

    Emil was a great host. Very helpful and flexible. Went over everything for me. The boat ran great on a rough water day due to the boat traffic of Seafair. It was a great option to sight see and watch the Blue Angels! Boat was very comfortable.

    We had a fantastic time on Emil’s boat! The pre-trip planning went smoothly - Emil was a good communicator and very accommodating. The Sea Ray was perfect for a day on the lake for the 4 of us. It ran smoothly and was fuel efficient. A definite perk was not having to fuel up on the lake ourselves. Would definitely rent from Emil again!

    Emil was already there when we arrived about 15 min early. The process was simple and he made our family feel very welcomed. Had a variety of life jackets to choose from (which was great since my little one outgrew his, and we didn’t have time to purchase our own). The boat is Fabulous!!! Thank you Emil for a memorable day!

    From beginning to end Emil was FABULOUS to work with as we arranged to rent his boat. He was very responsive and clear in his communication. His boat was immaculate, he had a large variety of toys to select from and he was very polite to speak with. With his boat and guidance, my family had an awesome day on the water! Will definitely plan to rent his boat again!!

    My friends and I had the pleasure of enjoying Emil’s beautiful boat today. We started our 8 hour rental from Mercer Island Boat launch and Emil was waiting with a big smile and a willingness to share his knowledge. We had a party of 8 and thoroughly enjoyed the day, time went fast and the boat was a dream. I would highly recommend Emil and his very new boat, we will be back. Thanks for a fabulous day.

    Emil notified me about a paint mark (not cuts) on the side of the boat. He said it was me but the boat was not docked when he was absent and the protection was there when we docked with him. I am not sure how it gets there but even it was added to the boat on that day, why I should be responsible for it when I did nothing wrong when docking the boat? Also, he claims that I made the boat all of sand but we were on lake all day. How much sand can we bring to the boat if we only board once?!

    Emil was prompt about answering all of my questions. He met us at the dock with the boat in the water, the Bimini up, tube blown up tied down. Emil had a large selection of life jackets waiting for us to try on before we left the dock. He had a large selection of water toys to choose from. Gas is included in the price with no hidden costs. My only suggestion is to get a larger tube for two adults to fit on comfortably. The experience was wonderful and we will rent from Emil again.

    What a great day for boating! We had a lot of fun on this boat in Lake Washington. Emil was prompt, courteous and explained the features and operation of the craft in excellent detail. The boat is new and in great condition, handles very well. Reasonable storage space and would handle 4-7 people easily for a day on the lake. Emil was flexible with the return time. Ultimately we were still within the 8 hour window, but called ahead about an hour and half in advance to say we'd be 30 minutes later than we'd planned and Emil adjusted accordingly. I would definitely recommend this rental!

    Emil met us right on time and he was very flexible as far as time and location. He had the boat in the water at the location we requested. The boat was very clean and he also provided a all sort of different water toys for us to enjoy (unfortunately the water was too cold). He communicates really well and was a pleasure renting his boat.

    We had an amazing day on the water by renting from Emil. When we showed up, Emil already had the boat launched and ready to go with all the water toys we had requested. The boat is really nice with plenty of power and a nice stereo. It also has a large bimini top which we really appreciated since it was 90 degrees out. We will definitely rent Emil's boat again.

    Emil’s Sea Ray was exactly the boat we were looking for! He was quick to respond to my messages, was on time, and his boat was immaculate! He had life vests for us all- and my family comes in every shape and size! He also had a tube and wake board for us to use! He had all kinds of extras available, all of our kids were so happy!
    Emil was kind and courteous at both drop off and pick up. It was our daughter’s birthday and he made sure to wish her a happy birthday and ask at the end how her birthday on the water was. It was a little extra that we didn’t expect. We look forward to renting with him again!!

The boat was really nice, well kept, great speakers, fun inner tube, and lots of space for all of us. Great boat! Will definitely rent again!
