Excellent service. Clean bathrooms. Clean and powerful boats. Loved the orientation before boarding on the boat, made understanding the lake system super easy. It rained the day we were on the lake, they supplied ponchos which we ended up using during our adventure. Thank you for the amazing customer service, we will be coming back.-The Knoll Family

We had a great time with our grandkids boating this past week thanks to Chain OLakes Boat Rentals - Pontoon Boat Rentals. Chain O’Lakes Boat Rentals has a very well-run operation. Pat and Joyce are very welcoming and make you feel like family. Our boat was clean and in great working condition. We were very impressed at the speed and power of the pontoon boat easily able to tow multiple kids on a tube. We made our reservation online which took only a few minutes. We called a few days before our scheduled rental to ask questions since it’s been a while since we had operated a boat and not familiar with the chain of lakes and to be prepared. We found the 30 minute orientation very informative covering all the important basics, boating laws, safety requirements, boat operation, navigating through the chain of lake and more desirable spots on the lakes to anchor and swim. Definitely going to do this again.

We had such a beautiful day out on the water thanks to Pelican Bay Marina! The pontoon boat, ease of learning the safety features and navigating the Chain O Lakes was simplified by the friendly, knowledgeable owners! We will happily use their marina in the future!

My family and I had an amazing time and an amazing experience using Pelican Bay Marina boat rentals. The boat was large and spacious, very clean and easy to use. The staff went above and beyond to explain things to us about the boat and the lakes. I would definitely use them again in the future

Loved our time on the boat!We rented in advance for our daughters birthday and it was the perfect time. When we got there, Pat explained the who/what/where/when/how/why in detail. We felt very well prepared for our 6 hour boat day and had a blast.The boat was clean and had everything you need. The laminated map of the lakes was a nice bonus, too.Thank you! Mike & I will definitely be renting again.

We had such a great experience renting from Joyce and Pat. We received training on all things boat and lakes that gave us the opportunity to really maximize our time on them. Explored places that were recommended by Joyce and Pat and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend and personally cant wait to rent again! Thank you for everything!

Pat and Joyce were very accommodating. As soon as we arrived the area, they welcomed us and treated our group well. Our pontoon boat was lovely. We had so much fun boating! Would love to come back again. Very highly recommended

I rented a pontoon for the day from Joyce and Pat for my moms birthday. Let me just say it was the best day we had in a long time. I felt so comfortable renting from them and I plan to again in the future!!! We all cant wait to be back!!

We rented a pontoon boat after checking all the reviews on the Chain OLakes. We were 100% right with our choice. Pat and Joyce are the nicest people you could meet. Everything was explained from operating the boat safely and making sure you feel comfortable before you pull away. We had a great time out on the lakes. We will definitely rent from them again. Thank you Pat and Joyce. You guys are great!Bob and Debbie

Pat and Joyce are the absolute sweetest. They were super informative for our first time driving a pontoon. We had a fun day on the lakes and we were welcomed back with two friendly smiles waiting to help us dock. I would highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back.

This was our second year in a row weve rented with Chain OLake Rentals. Super nice people. Boats are in good shape. Affordable prices. And you can tell they truly care about the clients having a great time and staying safe. We will be back again next summer!

Pat and Joyce are probably the nicest people I’ve ever come across. We rented a pontoon boat from them and they were so accommodating and just so pleasant! We had the best time on the lake and will definitely be back!

Pat and Joyce are friendly and patient with inexperienced boaters. They are so helpful even pumping up rafts and providing whatever you need to make your day wonderful! I had my 1st rental of the year and cant wait until we have the 2nd one. They are very knowledgeable about the lakes and where to go. 100% Recommended!

Was a fun day renting a pontoon for a birthday. On top of that Joyce and Pat were so sweet. Great business they’re running!

All fun, no hassle when you rent a boat from Pelican Bay Marina. Pat and Joyce have everything you need from ice to buy on site to gas to fill up when you return. We rented a pontoon and it was so nice and well kept. Even their restroom at the marina was nice and clean. We will definitely rent from here moving forward!

We had an excellent time rending a pontoon boat from Pat & Joyce. They both make the process super easy and convenient. The boat was clean, comfortable and spacious. We will definitely be back in the near future to rent again. I highly recommend renting from Pat & Joyce.

Lovely couple, helpful and delightful in helping us have a great experience. Great time and highly recommend renting a pontoon from the Pelican Chain O’ Lakes. Thank you.

Our family had the best time on Chain O Lakes. The facilities were great and the boat was perfect. You could tell Pat and Joyce took care and pride in their work. They walked our boat captains through it all before we left so we felt secure and made great location recommendations for where we and our kiddo could enjoy some time. We will certainly be back!

We will definitely rent from here again! Friendly, professional, beautiful grounds, clean facilities and boats are immaculate! Made our first trip out easy - there to help us in every way possible! Can’t say enough - great people and a good price!

Definitely highly recommend renting a boat here! Pat and Joyce were amazing and super accommodating!! They were very sweet and helpful throughout our pontoon rental process! Will definitely return and rent again :)

Best experience from start to finish. Customer service was above and beyond. The boat was very clean, everything was in great working condition, and there is zero advertisements on the craft. On the day of our scheduled time rain was forecasted during our mid afternoon into evening time block. The owner reached out on her own to our group to move us up to avoid the rain. I cannot say enough about the positive experience Joyce, and Pat provided to my group and I. We cannot wait to make another trip on the lakes!

Couldn’t be nicer people to work with than Patrick and Joyce. Everything was in great shape, they walked us through everything we needed to know to have a safe, enjoyable time. It was a fabulous day out on the water. We will be back!

The owners were both at the dock waiting for us when we arrived to take the boat as well as when we returned with it and were wonderfully helpful and polite throughout the process. We would definitely recommend renting with them in the future!!!

Right from the start I had a excellent communication with Joyce and Pat.Getting checked in and checking was a seamless procedure.They both are extremely courteous, answer any and all of my questions, and I had plenty believe me. We came in for a half day boat rental on a nice Sat afternoon to celebrate my 50th birthday on the waters. It was awesome and one of my best celebrations ever. Patrick and Joyce make you feel very welcome and are great to work with. Patrick let us know where not to go, showed us the map of the lake, and Pat gave us a good run down and and based on his advice we had a blast. I rented the 23.5 premier luxury boat, and it was spic n span, well maintained. There were enough life-jackets for me and my friends and we were so well taken care off. The boat has a nice stereo system, and Bimini top that we enjoyed. We also docked at the Blarney island for a Mai Tai stop-over . They really made our day so memorable and I felt like family. Their son Daniel escorted us when at one time I needed some assistance. I felt so special. I highly recommend these guys and I know I will be back for sure.. This is a celebration that me and my friends will remember for the next 50 years! They are phenomenal and totally COOL.

Awesome people. Great boat. Even offered us to stay out a bit longer. Really good time.

Such a wonderful experience. Joyce was more than accommodating and flexible as well as extremely kind. They ensured we had everything needed and provided thorough instructions. We’re looking forward to returning!

Pat and Joyce were just wonderful hosts. The Bently (name of boat) was clean and well maintained. Will definitely be renting from them again.

The owners are wonderful! Super nice and friendly.Had a great day on the lake with friends.

Great place to rent a pontoon. Friendly owners, knowledgeable and the pontoon was clean and ready to go. Highly recommended

My husband and I rented a pontoon boat with our 2 young girls and had a blast! Joyce and Pat were so great and helpful! Will definitely be back!

Very clean, large pontoon boat totally perfect for our family and friends outing on the chain. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

This is a great rental place! Exactly what we were looking for and our kids had a blast. Great owners and the boat was perfect.

We rented a pontoon and loved the experience. Pat and Joyce were incredibly friendly. I’m grateful to Joyce as she keeps track of the weather forecast and reached out to us twice to reschedule as both prior dates either had high winds or very cold/rainy weather. She didn’t have to do that - shows care for her customersPerry

We had a good time, would recommend it to anyone who wants to go a boat ride.Very good customer service. Very nice and clean pontoon.

This is a great place. Boats and equipment well maintained and super clean. This is a great place to bring your family and have a fun .

AMAZING SERVICE, EQUIPMENT & PEOPLE!!!! We will definitely come back and 100% recommend Chain OLakes for Boat rentals!

Great customer service and excellent pricing! They answered all questions and made us feel very comfortable. Our pontoon boat clean and in great condition – everything worked perfectly. We would definitely use Chain OLakes Boat Rentals again! Thanks!!

Pat and Joyce both greeted us and our friends when we arrived. They did a great job explaining everything we needed to operate the boat properly and safe. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a good time on the boat. The boats are very well maintained and clean. Being in the life and health business myself customer service is very important to make sure clients are happy and both Pat and Joyce did a great job! We were all very happy. Thank you again!

Positive result of 2020 - New traditionThe entire process far exceeded my expectations. We had six in our party, ages ranging from 65 to 3 for a 4 hour rental and everyone loved it! Joyce was so helpful in finding a day that worked with our schedule and felt like she was setting this up for a friend and not just as a business transaction. We arrived 10 minutes late (which with kids is on time) and she was gracious enough to give us an extra 15 minutes on the rental since it took awhile to load the boat and get captain’s training with my many questions.This was my first time renting a boat and Pat did a phenomenal job explaining how to maneuver the boat and answered all my questions and by the end felt really comfortable taking it out. He also showed us a few places to explore based on what we wanted to do which was take the kids out swimming and assisted with planning a great trip.The boat was in great condition, clean and comfortable. The restrooms at the main facility were VERY clean and the children’s life jackets were in perfect condition and sanitized which was comforting.All around perfect experience and we will be making this an annual tradition!

I would like to thank Pat and Joyce for the beautiful welcome we received. Joyce did our reservations for us and it was a terrific experience doing our reservation. Their response time is phenomenal. We arrived to pelican Bay Marina and got the warmest welcome from Pat. As I sit nervously not knowing how to ride a boat, Pat made me feel calm and confident for our four hour voyage. The pontoon boat and bathrooms were beautifully cleaned. I had the best day off riding this boat with my great friends. I would recommend highly using this rental facility because of the upmost customer service we received. I will most definitely be back!! I was glad to meet Joyce at the end of our journey.Thank you so much for helping us and guiding us and making our day great.

We could not have been happier with our decision to rent a pontoon boat from Pelican Bay Marina. The boat was beautiful, clean, and in excellent condition. Joyce was so warm and welcoming and knew our names before we got out of the car to start our day. Pat was amazing and really made us comfortable with the operational side of the pontoon boat. He was explicit in his delivery and gave us a rundown on how to get around and where the best places to boat on the chain were.I can’t say enough about how accommodating they were l. The weather was perfect and the waters were calm. We did an afternoon cruise and the lake was a lot less busy later in the afternoon which was nice for novice boaters like ourselves.They run such a good business that they’re booked pretty solid so it’s best to try to organize your excursion in advance. The price was very fair as we had done a 4 hour tour on a pontoon boat on the Illinois River the week before and it was substantially more at the other marina (and the boat was nicer here!) . We are already trying to plan a return trip. Looking at the properties along the shore line might have been our favorite part! A very enjoyable day!

Wonderful place to rent a boat for Chain Olakes ! Very easy process and Pat and Joyce are so helpful and accommodating ! We highly recommend !

Everything was first class the instructions the equipment And the owners Joyce and Pat

We rented the Bentley 20’ pontoon from Pat and Joyce for the entire day and we all had such an amazing time. We got the tube rental with it and the kids absolutely LOVED it! They must have been on that tube for a good 6 hours out of the 8 hours. The boat was in great condition and the sound system on the boat exceeded our expectation. We had two families with a total of 6 (3 adults and 3 kids) and we had plenty of space to move around and relax very comfortably. Pat and Joyce were super friendly and I would highly recommend Pelican Bay Marina to anyone who wants to rent a pontoon boat for a day on the Chain O Lakes! We will surely be back for more boating fun! 😊

We rented two boats between 3 families, both were clean and mechanically in great shape. Joyce was great and very helpful during booking (we had some minor changes), it was easy and very straightforward. Pat and Joyce were super helpful the day of. Getting us and all the kids on the water quickly and then helping us upon return. Great little marina on a really nice part of the Chain of Lakes. Within minutes of leaving the dock you can be at a really nice sandy beach area for kids to swim and wade in shallow water. All three families loved it and we are looking to go back again this summer! Really well run family business.

Joyce and Pat were terrific. Extremely thoughtful regarding Covid safety and cleanliness. The 8 person pontoon boat was very clean and ran perfectly. Our 7 & 12 year old children had a blast on the 2 person tube, highly recommend renting it as well. We also purchased ice for our cooler through them (super convenient). There are 2 very clean bathrooms and even a shower if you need it when you are done for the day. Joyce and Pat have thought of everything. Highly recommend Pelican Bay Marina!

It was our first experience renting a pontoon boat and we had the most wonderful time!!!! Pat and Joyce were amazingly accommodating. We booked for the middle of September and although it was a bit windy, it was Sunny and our boys got an oppotunity to go tubing. It was the highlight of their boat ride! Pat and Joyce didnt leave anything out, from sharing where we can park and grab a bite to eat and from where to avoid because of shallow water. This was by far one of the best first-time experiences we have had with our boys this past year. We came home and started planning our next boat rental and we do not need to search with who- it will definitely be with Pat and Joyce!! They were the kindest, patient and engaging couple ever!! Thank you for a great Sunday ride! We will see you soon!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience. My husband and I took our teenage girls out for a day of fun on the lake.The boat was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. But really it was Pat and Joyce that made our experience even that much better.Pat was incredibly knowledgeable and even though my husband Pete grew up on a lake and has experience with boats Pat made sure that we understood everything we needed to.Joyce was beyond kind and seemed to be as excited about our day out on the lake as we were. They made us feel like we were their top priority, and when the day ended they were there waiting for us, and wanted to hear all about it.Thank you Pat and Joyce for such a wonderful experience. We were all truly sad when the day came to an end, and we cannot wait to come back. We wouldnt think of going anywhere else!

We rented from Pat and Joyce as part of our celebration for my sons graduation from college and my daughters graduation from high school.The boat was immaculate. Pat explained all the controls. I was a little intimidated since I am not a boating person. Especially with taking down the Bimini top which is needed to go down to fit under some of the bridges. First Pat explained and demonstrated and then I took it down while Pat watched. A boat takes time to react so you can over compensate with steering and acceleration. So it took a little getting used to. Pat suggested get in the middle of the lake and experiment a little. That worked out well.I enjoyed the route. We did a big circle going through 5 or 6 lakes following the provided map. It is pretty interesting how the canals are built which connect the lakes. When we were out there were police in a boat on patrol. So follow the rules! Pat explained them.We had a great time as a family which is not so easy with my family. Pat and Joyce were very nice. The boat was great. We hope to go again with Chain OLakes Boat Rental next summer.

The owners are are great hosts with truly a hospitable nature. They keep their boats well maintained and orient you very well to the features of the boat. We were coordinating with two other families and the owners were patient and great about answering our questions. Joyce, thanks for pointing us to the beach area! The kids and adults had an relaxing afternoon. Thank you both again and we will definitely be back to rent with you!

Joyce and Pat were amazing. We had to reschedule our original rental date and Joyce couldnt have been more accommodating. Pat thoroughly explained the safety rules and how to operate the pontoon. We had so much fun and the 4 hours just flew by! We will definitely be back.

Very sweet couple own the business. Both were in attendance to greet our family and show us first timers the ropes. Life jackets were provide and tips on how to best safely navigate the waters. Was pleasantly surprised that they had 2 private individual bathrooms and 2 individual private showers that we could use before and after boating. Facilities and boat were very clean.

Per usual, Pat and Joyce are phenomenal hosts. Extremely personable people that are willing to accommodate your needs and answer any questions you might have. Pat does a great safety rundown of the boats and makes sure youre up to speed on operating the vessel. Top notch experience! Highly recommend.

As always - Joyce and Pat of Pelican Bay are a delight to rent from! Their boats are pristine, prices fair, and customer service impeccable. Pat conducts a thorough safety check before each trip, which makes us all feel comfortable while on the lake. Hands down, best pontoon rental company in the area!

Pat and Joyce of Pelican Bay Marina are running a fine establishment demonstrating an over abundance of genuine care for every customer that comes their way. My friends and I had such a great time out on the lake that we’ve decided to come back next year and so on and so forth. Thank you Pat and Joyce for being so hospitable and welcoming, you will see us again.

Absolutely awesome. We will definitely be back. The boat was incredibly clean, well kept, new, comfortable and spacious. We had an amazing day On the lake, even with 5 kids under 5 (they have everything you need to make sure you are safe). The owners are right there to make sure you understand everything with the boat and are truly invested to make sure you have everything you enjoy your trip. The customer service Pat and his wife gave us is incredibly rare these days.Thanks for a great day on the water!!!!

Folks! This is a great experience from start to finish! We rented two boats for my family gathering of 20. Pat and Joyce are THE nicest people and made us feel welcome and comfortable from the very start. When I returned and informed them that I had an issue with one of the towlines, they were so gracious and made me feel forgiven for making a mistake. The boats were great, clean and well taken care of. We had a wonderful family fun time! We will do it again for sure!!

Cant begin to express how fantastic these guys are. We came in for a half day boat rental yesterday and it was awesome. Patrick and Joyce make you feel very welcome and are great to work with. Patrick let us know some great places to go on the water and based on his advice it we found an awesome sandbar to hang out at. We also rented a tube for the girls to ride while we were out. That was a blast and worth adding if you have smaller kids. Boat we rented was clean comfortably and well maintained. The lifejackets the girls used for tubing were so well taken care off they looked new. I have been to some place were buckles are broken, or they are torn etc. so this was nice to see. Getting checked in and checking out were a breeze. I wish I could give them more stars, they really made our day even better with how well they took care of us. If you want to spend some time on the lake having a blast these are the people I would recommend.

Pat and Joyce were wonderful to plan with-very accommodating and flexible with my familys schedule! Pat gave me clear and concise instructions for operating the boat and put my mind at ease, as I am not a super-experienced boater. We rented the smallest model which was perfect for my kids (ages 13, 11, 8 and 7) to tube off, as they are not super-experienced tubers. More experienced tubers may prefer a faster boat but my beginners had a blast!

Joyce and Pat were fantastic hosts! The boat, the customer service, the suggestions of where to go, and just the general attitude was OUTSTANDING! Weve rented boats many times before and have never had this type of experience. We definitely found our new place to rent boats from. Thank you for a great day, Joyce and Pat!

We had a great time! The boat was in excellent shape and Pat and Joyce made everything easy. We rented the 2-person tube as well and the kids had a blast. I highly recommend renting from Pelican Bay Marina! We will definitely rent from here again!

We had arrived a few minutes early for our 4 hr rental and the owners were very gracious and informative! They made sure to show us all the comfort and safety features that come along with the boat! It was a very relaxing and fun experience that I cant wait to do again! I would recommend pelican bay marina to everyone and anyone interested in spending time out on the water!!! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

BEST BOAT RENTAL ON THE CHAIN! Had the pleasure of renting from Pat and Joyce of Chain O Lakes Boat Rentals on Monday of Labor Day weekend 2020, and things couldnt have been better. Lets start with the people - we made a decision rather late to do this and none of the other places had a boat for us, but Pat and Joyce were a joy to speak with. They did indeed have a boat for us! So win #1. The pricing of the boat was very reasonable and comparable to other places on the chain - win #2, and Joyce was wonderful to work with on the phone. Great reservations experience. Then when we arrived yesterday, they couldnt have been nicer to work with- both departing and returning. Pat gives a great explanation of everything on and about the boat, and even though Im a very experienced boater, it was useful information. He gave us great hints and advice and recommendations for our trip. When we returned, the return check-in process was fast and easy and also very reasonable. Their fuel price was competitive with other fuel sources on the chain as well. Lastly, their boat was pretty much the nicest pontoon boat Ive ever rented - it was in terrific shape, was a high-end make (Bennington with a Yamaha engine) and was very nicely outfitted. And it doesnt say RENTAL all over it - which is very nice. The engine was smooth and reliable - started instantly, ran all day at slow and fast speeds without a cough ever. And was terrifically economical. We ran for 5 hours and it only burned 2 1/2 gallons of gas - admittedly, we ran at a very slow and relaxing speed because thats how we roll which also conserves fuel.I highly recommend Pat and Joyce and Chain OLakes Boat Rentals for your next boat rental on the Illinois Chain OLakes (Fox Lake, Nippersink Lake, Grass Lake, etc.).

For fist time driving a Boat, Pat and Joyce helped make my experience comfortable because I was very nervous. They were very friendly and welcoming. The boat was awesome, we got the biggest one with 4 children and 5 adults and were comfortable. The Tube is a MUST. My family and I spent nearly half the time taking turns on tube. Another thing I like was the safety features on the boat. For you being responsible for the boat it’s a little nerve racking thinking something can get caught in the propellers and damage the boat. This boat help prevents accidents like that, if something is not where it’s supposed to be the boat simply doesn’t start. GREAT TIME, this may be a annual thing because of this first experience.

Yesterday had a great experience on the Premier Pontoon boat. Everything was perfect beginning to end. Would highly recommend this rental service. With all of the connected lakes lots of area to explore.Thanks to Pat and Joyce for a great time!

We had a great time even though it was a little colder and windier than we anticipated for late September. Pat and Joyce are very helpful. The boat is very clean and roomy for 10 people. Pat gave very detailed briefing before we went out. It made my sons 10th yr birthday memorable even though we didnt have a big party because of the current covid situation. Well definitely rent with them again.

This was our first time navigating a pontoon boat and Pat and Joyce made the entire process go very smoothly. Everything was explained clearly to us, they put safety and health as a priority, and the boat was clean and comfortable. They were super nice and organized. We will definitely be renting from them again!

Pat and Joyce were amazing hosts! The pontoon they provided was immaculate and our family had an amazing time!! They were so sweet with our kids and so helpful with everything! We will definitely visit them again and recommend to anyone looking for a day out on the lake!! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.

Our experience renting a pontoon was great! Not being seasoned sailors and older we thought it would be fun and it was! The Pontoon boat was immaculate and it was a cooler weekday so it was not busy on the Chain of Lakes. Will do it again!

What a wonderful experience with a personal touch. The entire experience felt like dealing with family and we could not have had a better day. Pat and Joyce are kind, patient and run a great business. Thank you both for a truly perfect day.

Great experience working with management and pontoon boat was clean and in excellent condition. Fun family outing touring Chain O’Lakes with many safe places to anchor and let the kids swim. We would rent again with Pelican Bay marina and highly recommend to others.

We had a great time and will definitely rent from Pat and Joyce again. They were extra helpful considering it was our first time renting on the chain. It was reassuring to see them doing extras like offering hand sanitizer and disinfecting life jackets as soon as we returned them. The boat was very comfortable and perfect for us. Highly recommend!

Great place for a boat rental. The owner was very detailed and went over everything. Safety is very important to me since this is a busy lake. I’d rent from here again and suggest to anyone else.

This was our first time on a Pontoon Boat and it was absolutely amazing! Pat and Joyce did a wonderful job in explaining how the process works and making us feel comfortable. The customer service was first class and the boat was user friendly, easy to navigate and extremely comfortable. We will definitely be back to enjoy the experience again!

One of the best boating experiences I have had. They really go all out to make you and your family and friends feel comfortable. Bathrooms were really nice and clean. A+++ company will definitely rent from them again.

What a wonderful people Joyce and Pat. Very knowledgeable and professional. Pat took time to answer all my questions. The pontoon we had was awesome. My family and I had an amazing day. I definitely recommend Chain Olakes Boat Rentals to family and friends. Joyce and Pat, Thank you for your kindness.

Pat and Joyce are wonderful! The boat was immaculate condition and made for a wonderful afternoon on the lake. Definitely recommend and cant wait to return. Thank you!

We had an amazing, perfect day on the water today with my family. Pat and Joyce were very helpful and informative on explaining how to drive the pantoon boat. Boat was perfect for our family, exactly what we needed to enjoy a beautiful summer day. Thank you so much!

Our family had a wonderful day on the lakes thanks to Chain OLakes Boat Rentals! The owners are kind, the boat was clean and spacious, and the experience very memorable! We will be back!

Joyce and PatrickThank you for a great day on Chain o Lakes.The pontoon boat was in excellent shape. Patrick your suggestions for places to swim we’re perfect.We look forward to our next rental.Randy & Debbie Daniel.

Clean and super professional. Super nice staff. Cheap and we will rent again!I recommend if your looking around to rent.

Great afternoon on the Chain Of Lakes. Pat & Joyce made the birthday celebration a huge success. Already looking for another date to see more of the lakes along the chain. See you then.

Super friendly service and beautiful boat. We had a wonderful time and will do it again next year! Thanks for a great time.

Joyce and Pat were lovely hosts- extremely welcoming and helpful. The boat was top notch- clean, comfortable, and safe. Highly recommend. We’ll be back!

We had a good time. Unfortunately 24 hours later we received a nasty message from the owners accusing us of damaging the boat. There was no inspection before we left, but there was one after we returned. We were told everything was fine and we left. 24 hours later a message was left on my phone accusing us of leaving a burn mark on the rug. I cleaned up before we got off. I picked up masks, clothing, and anything else that dropped on the floor. I covered the whole floor. I saw NO DAMAGE! It would have been nice if she would have left a message that considered it could have been the renters after us. Or called sooner than 24 hours later or considered that their docking area is not locked up. There were no pictures taken and the boat WAS inspected after we returned. She was unprofessional, including the remarks she made about Barnacle Bobs, that behavior was okay at Barnacle Bobs, but we dont ALLOW that over here! She has a burn mark and attacks the character of two families.

We had a fantastic time and would definitely come back. The boat was beautiful and in excellent condition. Very clean. The owners were super efficient and extremely knowledgeable. We rented a tube for the kids and they had a blast. All in all it was awesome and we wouldn’t plan on renting from anywhere else now.

Pat and Joyce are so friendly, the boat was perfect for our family. Had a great day tubing and swimming. We can’t wait to go back!

Had an amazing experience! Easy to find, Pat and Joyce were very communicative and assisted us with any question we had. Boat ran great and was very clean. Half a day was not enough time to explore all we wanted to so we will DEFINITELY be back for more!!! Thanks for a great day of memories!

Pat & Joyce are fabulous! The boat was in great condition; clean, well maintained & great size. The tube we rented was also in great condition. The bathrooms & full size showers were meticulously clean and spacious. The value was fantastic!I highly recommend them and will rent from them again!

Extremely nice people. Great experience. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect from the easy booking process, to the kind staff, and the fabulous rental. Highly recommend!

Rented a boat for my 30th birthday today. At first, the owners seemed very nice and were very thorough in the boat orientation, etc. The boat was clean and nice and there was plenty of room for our group of 6. HOWEVER, we docked for lunch and followed all of the instructions on how to tie the boat off (we’ve also been on boats our whole lives and never had an issue), but while we were eating, the piece of metal connecting the tie down rope to the boat broke off and the boat moved around and had bumped off the dock and became slightly dented in one spot. Upon seeing this, we immediately headed back to the marina (getting back over an hour before our rental was supposed to be over) and informed the owners of what had happened. They not only decided to charge us to fix the dent and light that got cracked, but they offered no thanks to us for coming back immediately or a refund for the time lost in our reservation due to the issue. I understand where they’re coming from in that they have to fix the boat, but they didn’t seem to care much that it was a fault of THEIR boat breaking, something that was 100% out of our control, and when I suggested it was unfair that we pay for something that wasn’t caused by anything we did incorrectly, the owner threatened to take it to a body shop and just come after us for the bill. Very disappointed as this ruined an otherwise very good day and put a huge damper on my birthday. All in all, just be careful and maybe don’t dock the boat anywhere because if something happens that isn’t your fault, you’ll be held responsible.

Celebrated a friends special birthday..very friendly and helpful folks..world class 👏 👌

We had such an amazing time! The boat was very clean. Pat and Joyce were very helpful and answered all questions! Can’t wait to rent from them again!

This place is great! I checked around for the best pricing for boat rentals on the chain and this place had the best value. The boat was clean and ready when we arrived. Beautiful boat in excellent condition. Pat was so friendly and helpful with getting the kids fitted for life jackets and showing us how to operate the boat. We decided to rent a tube and were so happy we did. So much fun and again in excellent condition. We had a great day on the water even though it rained hard on us the last half hour of our rental as we were gassing up and heading back. Again, Pat met us out on the pier to help us dock and get our stuff off the boat. I was very impressed with the customer service and the boat itself. I can’t say enough good things about Pelican Bay Chain O’Lakes Boat Rentals. If you’re looking for a rental on the chain, you can stop looking. This is 100% an awesome choice. Go have fun!

Owners were wonderful. Boat was great. We rented the boat for the whole day and 1/2 way through the day a storm moved in. The owners were on my phone checking on us several times throughout our treck back and were on the boat dock in the storm when we got back to help us off the boat and reimbursed us some of the money we paid for the rental. Cannot say enough nice things about them. Will definitely rent from them again.

Pat and Joyce were extremely friendly and accommodating from start to finish. Very polite and genuinely nice people. Pontoon was in amazing shape, very clean, and so comfortable. We had the best day out on the chain o’ lakes and will definitely be coming back all summer long! Thank you for the great day!

We had a great time on the lake thanks to Pat and Joyce! The entire experience was great and they were very helpful with our large group and all of our kids. I highly recommend them and they even gave us a 10% military discount which was much appreciated and also had the option to pre pay for gas so we could use the entire time slot for fun. We will definitely be coming back anytime we have the itch to go out on the lake again and have a great time. Thanks guys!

Joyce and Pat greeted us as we drove up, directed us to park in a spot directly across from our rental, and walked us thru the orientation. Boat was clean and ready to go, we had it for 8 hours and it ran perfectly all day long.Will definitely come back again!

What a great day and easy transaction! I only wish we had more time!
