  Boats are clean and well maintained. Easy access to campsites, but like I tell even my adult kids 100 times a day each time we rent, be sure you know where the rocks are before approaching a campsite. Kill and raise the motor and get to shore with a paddle if you need to.
  
  Owner and staff are generally friendly, fair, honest, and helpful.
  
  Things you need to know if you are used to having your own boat: One, nobody under 21 can drive it (probably a good thing - saves parents from having to say no). Two, you are not allowed to drive it after dark, even if you bring your own running lights, so have a backup boat if you need to run across the lake to somebody else's campsite for dinner.
  
  Things you need to know if you're used to the old Crescent Bay Marina: One, if you damage the propeller it's $250. Two, if you wreck the bottom part of the motor, it's $1500. Three, the last statement in the lease about their cancellation policy DOESN'T JUST MEAN CANCELLATION!!! It includes early return. (I screwed up on this one and thought I could save a half day rental by returning the boat a little early, not realizing I would be paying for it anyway, just not having the use of the boat! Live and learn. The owner or manager explained it to me and we came to an agreement.)
  
  So, if you want to rent clean, working boats in a convenient location from honest people, this is your place to go.
  
  Just make sure you understand everything!
  
  Note in response to owner's response:
  I apologize if anything sounded negative or was misleading. Not my intention. I gave you five stars! I am to blame for the original misunderstanding! Peace! You have a great marina with excellent boats.
