About Charles
“Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile. Our family always seems to be on the go, and we were looking for a way to spend family time together that did not commit an entire weekend. An afternoon on the lake has fit our busy lifestyle very well! If you’re looking to test the waters on whether or not you want a boat, this is a perfect way to explore that opportunity. It’s also a great option for those that do not want the commitment of having all the extra responsibilities of having a boat but quick access to one. ”

Charlie was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so accommodating, happy to add on a tube, help with transportation, etc. The boat was great, easy to use, very clean. Overall a great experience, would definitely recommend and use again.

Charles went above and beyond. I am very inexperienced with boating and I am considering buying a boat. The boat was clean and in good working order. Charles took the time to show how to launch the boat. He took us on a short ride to get us familiar with boating. It led to a wonderful experience, I am definitely interested in boating now.

This was a great ski boat. It is older but Charles keeps it clean and running really well. It started without fail and worked well for tubing, kneeboarding, fishing and swimming. We asked Charlie for the transportation option. He was amazing working with us and made the whole experience wonderful. Would definitely rent from him again.

Charlie was fantastic to rent from! He gave us a quick run through of the boat. He was also easy to get ahold of when we had a question during the day. We had an amazing time on the lake! We will definitely would rent from him again!

It was a pleasure renting from Charles. The boat ran smoothly, everything worked well and we had no issues. The family loved tubing on Lake Mattoon. The boat handled well pulling adults and kids. We plan to return and you bet we will be looking up Charles to rent in thr future. Thank you for making this a great weekend on the water.

Overall great experience! The booking process was really easy and Charles walked up through everything before leaving. The pontoon was very spacious and we did have 12 people on board. We did go tubing on the pontoon. It was a blast for the kids. It was also very convenient that there was life jackets available for toddlers. Charles even allowed us to pick the boat up early to take it an hour out of his town and he didn't count that towards our hours.
We would definitely book again. - MattMatt★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 30th

Charles was absolutely fantastic. There was a little bit of scheduling headache with the rental but he was flexible, reasonable, and accommodating. He walked around the boat and explained all the systems to us and we had exactly zero problems with the boat. The boat is, well, dated, but has been impeccably maintained. Started easily, every single time. Ran great, and was easy to control. Whole family had a BLAST. I cannot sing Charles' praises enough. You will not be disappointed.

Charles made this a great experience for us! He met us halfway between where we both live to make this a better experience for us. The boat ran great and was exactly what we were looking for. Charles always responded very quickly and was willing to do whatever was needed to make our day more enjoyable. We will definitely be booking with him in the future!
