What Our Boaters Say

"My husband and I rented two Sea-Doos this weekend and had an amazing time! The rental crew was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made the entire process quick and easy. The Sea-Doos were in excellent condition, and we had a blast cruising around the lake. I highly recommend booking an early morning rental, and starting at 9:00 a.m. was perfect! The lake was calm, peaceful, and nearly empty, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!"

"We have done boat excursions on several lakes in the area but this was the BEST experience! The lake was absolutely beautiful. The marina staff was awesome!"

Michael Bradley

"New to Granbury and planning to buy a boat but wanted to check out the lake and boating scene first so a 2 hour pontoon rental sounded good. I easily reserved through the Marina website and arrived 1/2 hour early. The renters before us returned a bit early so they let us take the boat about 15 min early for no extra fee. They went over all aspects of boat operation (easy) and answered our questions. We had a blast and loved the experience! As I returned they were waiting at the dock to help tie off the boat, refuel and complete the transaction.The boat was excellent as was the service!"

"We rented a pontoon boat during our stay in Granbury. The Marina staff were all accommodating to our needs, the boat was very nice, clean and very well kept. Had a slight issue with my reservation (my fault) but, I was very impressed with the way they made a correction. Very positive experience. We will be a returning customer and highly recommend!!!"

"We rented a pontoon boat from Lake Granbury Marina. The boat was top notch. It had the right equipment - Bimini top, Bluetooth music, dock side floats, and decent sized engine to cover off most of the lake in well under 4 hours. Their team was knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. Give them a shot the next time you are in town!"

"We rented a pontoon boat last weekend and had the best time! Upon arrival everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. They explained the lake to us, made suggestions about their favorite places to go and best swimming spots. They made sure we were confident handling the boat and navigating the lake. The owner came down to make sure our three younger kiddos were properly fitted with life jackets and made suggestions about where she takes her own children. They helped us unload when we returned and asked about our day. It truly was an excellent experience and we will for sure be back!"
