Jet Ski Madison,Can someone please help us resolve our charge from a weather cancelation from this summer? Bradford Anderson posted the most recent review after trying to work with you over the summer in rescheduling. When no one would help get us a new date booked and we were just told to re-book online, we just didnt feel comfortable putting our credit card in again since we have already been charged. We have the entire email chain for reference if needed but we were never helped to reschedule this. I know this isnt intentional and you guys are probably just busy but it is over $500 dollars. Perhaps a policy change needs to happen for next summer with a coupon code or something, just an idea since it appears we are not the only people who has experienced this. Please consider refunding the full amount so we can close this matter out. It seems best for all parties at this point. Thank you for your time in looking into this.Katie
This is our second time here and it was great just like last time. We used to rent in Lake Geneva but they would follow us around the lake and we were only allowed to go so far on the jet skis. Here, you can do the whole lake and they dont babysit you. Plus, my 18 year old is allowed to ride his own. The people that work here are so friendly and customer oriented. Jake was super helpful and got us on the water quickly. The equipment is top notch and is in excellent condition. Can’t wait to come back.
If you are faced with a weather cancellation, staff is unhelpful and incredibly unprofessional. I booked a reservation almost three months ago, they still have my money and I have nothing to show for it.After Jet Ski Madison understandably canceled my reservation due to poor weather conditions, I emailed their customer service with a new reservation date and time as it outlined in the cancellation email. Jet Ski Madison responded telling me I needed to rebook (which requires paying for another reservation). When I asked for clarification on this process, their response was condescending and unhelpful.Not feeling comfortable, I expressed my concern about charging my card a second time and ultimately ended up asking for a refund since I would not be using their services. From then on, they stopped answering all emails.While this company appears to return a fair level of satisfaction from customers under ideal circumstances, you will find that their ability to handle customers in all scenarios is surprisingly poor. I highly suggest reading through all reviews on more than just Google to see for yourself; you will find that Jet Ski Madison has done this on a number of occasions.
We rented both a pontoon boat and a jet ski for four hours. What a wonderful experience from start to finish! Kyle and his team handled everything! We just arrived at the dock. A fantastic carefree day! Great teaching on how to use the water crafts for our novices. Fantastic value for the money!! Memories we will have forever! Thanks!!! Our whole party can’t wait till next time!!
Awesome time on the water thanks to Kyle / Jet Ski Madison. Rented for two hours, perfect amount of time for our first experience on a PWC. Kyle was nice, efficient, and helpful... got us going very quickly to maximize time on the water. Equipment was in great shape. Zero problems, 100% fun. Highly recommend!
Thank you Jet Ski Madison for an incredible day! I rented a pontoon boat for my husband’s birthday, and everything turned out perfect! The boat was clean and easy to operate, but what stood out for me was the customer service. Damon was our go-to guy. He walked us through all of the specifics about the pontoon, all of the safety guidelines, and was patient with us when we asked questions. We actually got out in the lake and turned the motor off to jump in the water. When we tried to start it up again, it wouldn’t. I called Damon, and he jumped on a jet ski, got to the boat, and started it up for us ( turns out, we had it in neutral- so it wouldn’t start- who knew?) But the entire time, he had a smile on his face, and was so nice about it all. What a great employee you have! All in all, it was a great experience. Don’t go anywhere else to rent your pontoon. I’ll definitely do it again!
We rented a pontoon boat for four hours with some of my wife’s family. The owner was very helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. We had a great time and it was a great experience. The boat performed perfectly and was a breeze to operate. I hope I get back to Madison to do it again.
I rented two wave runners at their Lake Wisconsin Watersports location online over the summer. I was cancelled via email the morning of the rental due to bad weather and was told to respond to the cancellation email to reschedule. I have emailed this company and called multiple times with voicemails. To date, I have not received any response back. I paid the couple hundred bucks for a rental that I never received! Im not asking for a refund. I would just like to use the rental that I already paid for!
My wife & I had a great time. The staff was really friendly and knowledgeable. We rented a jet ski for 2 hours. I highly recommend them! We will definitely be back to rent from them again!
Damon was outstanding!!!! He was the reason that we returned to rent our jet skiis for the fifth time. The service was incredible and it is always so refreshing to have someone professional delivering the safety check and answering questions for all of us. We would highly recommend Jet Ski Madison......Thanks again!!!!
Jet Ski Madison was super accommodating, and Kyle did a great job setting us up for success on Mendota. The boat was very high quality and made our rental a very exceptional experience. Would highly recommend their services and would definitely use them again!
We rented a large pontoon for our family to enjoy on July 4th, the weekend of our wedding. Damon delivered our boat to the Olbrich Park launch. Damon did an excellent job showing us the features of the boat and how to use them. I was very impressed at how responsible and skilled Damon was at maneuvering the boat and SUV at the dock all by himself. In comparison, we--middle aged adults--had challenges docking such a large boat at a busy dock. We had an excellent experience.
Such a fun time out on the water! Kyle was absolutely wonderful and answered all our questions. Highly recommend for an exciting few hours on the lake!
We had a blast and Kya was so helpful and understanding when some information was misunderstood. Since we were from out of town we were grateful for her patience and being flexible. It was an amazing experience!
Thank you Jet Ski Madison for a great experience renting on Lake Mendota this weekend! Your team was accommodating, and then boat we rented was exceptional. Kyle was wonderful to work with, we will absolutely be renting again soon!
Jet Ski Madison is a wonderful company and I highly recommend using them for pontoon and jet ski rentals. They have great customer service and will go above and beyond to be sure they do the right thing by their clients. We rented a pontoon for a full day, had some technical issues, and they upgraded us to their awesome luxury pontoon. If you can get this boat, do it, it’s awesome! Their dock location is also great so much easier to get in and out from the Warner Park dock than their competition down the lake. I’ll be renting jet skis from them later this week and am looking forward to another experience with them.
Colin and Kaia were awesome and so easy to get along with, this was my first time ever on a jet ski and they made it so comforting and fun. Loved spending the day out on the water.
Rented two jet skis for the weekend. Was a blast. Super helpful tutorial. Damon and Colin were amazing. Thank you for everything.
The boat was awesome! Kyle was super knowledgeable and great to work with. Had a great day on the lake. Will rent with Jet Ski Madison again!
Our family was going to book with another company in Madison, because they were a little cheaper but we are so glad we didn’t . The boat was amazing and our staff member Kyle was super helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better all around experience. Can’t wait to return next year
My fiancé and I rented a 2 hour slot on one of their Jet Skis, and it was a blast! The jet ski was comfortable and fast, and they made sure our experience was fun, yet safe. Would highly recommend, the experience made for a great date night!
Rented a boat for my husbands 30th birthday party and had AN AMAZING TIME!!! The staff at jet ski Madison, especially Kyle, was super nice and very prepared for our day trip on Mendota. We loved every minute of our trip and really recommend this for anyone looking for a fun time in the summer!
I would highly recommend this place. Kyle was very prompt and informative. We had a great time on the lake!
First time renting a jet ski and riding. Kaia was awesome. She showed us how everything worked on the jet ski and we were on our way. Had an awesome time on the water.
Thank you Jet ski rental and Damon for making my birthday fun and relaxing! Damon was very friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend and would love to rent jet skis again!
Fun day. Good instructions. Easy to use equipment. Jet Ski Madison showed us how to use the Jet skis and was very helpful.
Thank you, Jet Ski Madison, for an amazing afternoon out on Lake Mendota! The boat was awesome and Kyle was very knowledgable and accommodating. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a day out on the lake! We definitely will be renting again in the future!
We had an awesome experience at Jetski Madison. They are so easy going and friendly, its a 100% pleasure.Highly recommend!
Rented with them twice in one summer. Both times there were problems- some things they could control, some things they couldnt control. But both times they provided really good customer service to compensate. Website/reservation isnt clear on who needs to get boater certification.
We had a great experience with this company. Damen called the morning of our reservation to confirm our arrival time and was waiting for us when we arrived. He went over the safe operation of the jet skis in great detail and was very kind/professional. We had a wonderful time on the lake and Damen was waiting to pull the jet skis out of the water when we returned. Excellent service all around and we will definitely be back!
Great experience. No problems. Just show up ready to ride and after instruction on the operations of the jet ski we were in the water. The jet ski worked flawlessly. Will definently rent from jetski madison again.
We had an AMAZING TIME!! Kaia was super helpful and sweet. Everyone needs to try this at least once in your life, you wont be disappointed!
DO NOT Use if Traveling! (Please Read)TLDR: If you are just visiting Madison they will take advantage of you for $200-$800 if they can.I recently travelled to Madison Wisconsin to visit my girlfriend’s family. I thought it would be fun to JetSki while I was there, as I had only been when I was much younger. I booked an appointment with JetSki Madison because at first, it looked like a legitimate operation.I booked for a sunny day, however there was a forecasting error because 2 days later it was actually stormy, so they cancelled my appointment. I initially asked for a refund because I would be out of Wisconsin in two days, but you can only get a refund if you give 2 weeks notice (unrealistic for people on vacation who run into a similar issue.. so, very strange, but I understand nonetheless). Luckily I found a 2 hour time slot that worked right before I left. They cancelled day of (they did not send me an email I had to show up and call them, then they called me telling me they cancelled). Their general manager was extremely rude over the phone (I didn’t realize that actually was the manager at the time- I thought it was an employee who was just having a bad day), but that’s surprisingly not what this review is even about. I can deal with poor customer service.My only options from that point was either take a credit voucher (that I will never use as I live nowhere near Wisconsin) or re-book for 2 months later. The goal of that was so I could cancel and it would fall outside of their 2 weeks policy. This is true and they have no policy preventing this from happening. However, on top of their condescending attitudes they are very sneaky and make re-bookings from credit vouchers that they give you without your consent, making it impossible to refund.At the end of the day, their company lost nothing, inherited no risk, and distributed no service to me whatsoever and I am permanently out $200 and two $15 40 minute training courses because I wanted to use their service within a specific window that was initially agreed to by both parties and I was denied twice on their end.It’s not the end of the world, I’m just hoping to spread awareness to this issue to other people who might accidentally make the same mistake as me hoping for a fun time and potentially losing $200-$800 to the company. It’s the principle of the matter. And they have created a system where they can take advantage of people traveling and take zero responsibility. I understand the conditions I agreed to however they are malicious and the people there will use them maliciously to take from the public to make a quick buck. Just bad business, plain and simple.I highly recommend just using another more trustworthy company to avoid the drama, there are some nearby that have more competitive pricing and less shifty policies / employees regarding this understandable issue.Side-note: I have no issues with the employees- the one girl I talked with initially was very nice and I’m sure they’re great people, only the general manager, Kyle acted inappropriately during our communications.
It was awesome! Captain Ross made our experience memorable. He was professional and fun. We are visiting from Los Angeles and it was our first time on a pontoon boat. It was great!👍
Our helper (Demon) was fantastic and very knowledgeable! The jet ski ran great and was a fun experience. Would try again!
My boyfriend and I had the best time on our JetSki for two hours, we had a bit of trouble finding where we were supposed to meet the JetSki, but Kyle was very prompt in answering his phone and helping guide us. Kyle helped explain how to use the jet ski and made us feel really comfortable! Really fun
Colin was a great help. Would recommend highly. Things went smooth and just right
Everything was ok but hey Kyle you need to check your email frequently for customer satisfaction. Plus it was nice to see your unpleasant face before we leave. Thank you guys
I surprised my boyfriend with a jet ski ride for his bday, and it was so much fun! Damon was very helpful, and worked with us when both they and we were running a little behind. Would SOO recommend these guys to anyone looking to have fun on the water for the day! Thanks Damon!
Thank you JetSki Madison—my family and I had an awesome day on Lake Mendota thanks to you!… Kaia, Kyle and Damon were fantastic… we’ll be back!!!!
Kaia and Kyle were absolutely amazing! Super helpful, very patient, great teachers! We need had great time at Lake Mendota and highly recommend Jetski Madison!
Great staff friendly one one the best experience Ive had
Kyle hooked it up for us this past weekend. I came across an ad for Madison Jetski rental, went on the website and the next day I was on the water. They made it incredibly easy, you get on the Jetski in the parking lot they back you into the water and two hours later you bring it back with total freedom to go anywhere you want as long as its 200ft from shore and 100ft from other boats. I loved that there wasnt some crazy $1000 deposit on the card also. Zero complaints, only fun. This is how owning a boat or a jetski should be. Looking forward to booking with them again. Oh also my first mate was a little late getting to the dock and they were super flexible and understanding of that and still let us get our two hours in so thank you for that! There is a reason they are busy busy busy.
I have rented here three times now in I have never been rushed as mush as I was. The last time I was promised a credit in called multiple times to inquire about it and there was no answer I will never rent here agin
It was a very good experience. Our instructor, David, was extremely helpful and made the outing memorable.
Jet ski rental went great and the staff were all very friendly!
Kyle was awesome!! Highly recommend it to anyone!! Thanks for such an amazing time!!
Rental was great, Kaia was a great guide and told us areas around the lake to explore.
Tired booking a appointment and ask questions, the guy was very rude then hung up the phone in my face.. we were planning to spend at least over $1,500 on rentals for the day. Would not recommend unless they have better staff
We had the best day with our full day pontoon rental. Ross was amazing!! He called us to update us on the weather/possible rain while we were on the water. He was always available if we had a question about anything throughout the day. He’s very personable & helpful. Thanks for making my birthday celebration go smoothly Ross!! I will definitely be renting again soon.
Had a awesome time in Madison with my family the other weekend and it’s all thanks to jet ski Madison! The customer service was terrific! Katie walked us through everything we needed to know and gave us some good tips and direction where to go. Thanks a lot Katie! Jet ski Madison is very lucky to have an employee like yourself! Highly recommend renting a boat or jet ski from here. You will not regret it!!!
I just want to the owner or boss to know how well Katie is! She made my experience so amazing. She had such fun energy, when we walked up and greeted us! That right out of the gate made me even more excited. Her explanation of how everything works and the rules of the lake were so clear! She was a great teacher! Jet Ski Madison you have such a wonderful employee! Keep up the great work Katie! Thank you for everything!!;)
My sons and I rented two jet skis for 2 hours on Lake Mendota. Larry and his crew were great. Our first date had to be changed due to a funeral and Larry was very responsive, rescheduled with us without question. The day of the rental they called to make sure we knew where to meet. They were there waiting. They went over final paperwork and we were in the water in a matter of minutes. Great operation, lots of fun! Strongly recommend if you want to go jet skiing.
My experience with jet ski Madison was nothing short of professional with quality customer service. Our family rented jet skis and they were very nice machines that ran flawlessly. We were very impressed. My family and I were also impressed with customer service from Katie. She was very informative and taught us everything we needed to know before heading out on the water. She is a great employee and deserves to be recognized. Thank you jet ski Madison!!
Rented a pontoon boat a couple days ago and will definitely be renting again!! Katie is knowledgeable about the boat and so friendly. We had a blast. Super reasonable prices (best in Madison for sure), the sound system on the boat is incredible. Plenty of room for coolers and friends. Highly recommend to anybody looking for an affordable way to spend the day out on the water.
My girlfriends and I recently rented a pontoon from jet ski Madison and we were all very satisfied with our experience. The pontoon was beautiful and made the day on the water comfortable and fun. The customer service was awesome. Katie did a flawless job of giving us a rundown of safety and boat procedures. She was very professional, helpful, and friendly. She is a great employee and we hope to get to see her again later this summer. I highly recommend jet ski Madison! if you’re looking for a great time on the water with affordable prices and excellent customer service look no further!
Fast, thorough and fair. I would highly recommend Jet Ski Madison. Smooth operation that was prompt meeting at Warner boat launch, Nicole was very thorough going through basics of safety protocol. We were out on the lake after just five minutes of getting there. Great time!
Wanted to make sure we thanked Kyle for all his help coordinating our Jet Ski Rental. Kyle was prompt and even called me several hours in advance of the rental to make sure we knew where to go and what to expect on a busy lake day. Once we arrived he was thorough in instruction which made the time on the water safer and a lot more fun. Great time and great staff!
Highly recommend renting from here! Their customer service was great. We were out on the water minutes after arriving. It was a lot of fun! Definitely worth the money!
My friend and I went jet skiing at Jet Ski Madison today and had a great experience. The staff was super timely, very friendly, and answered any questions we had before putting us out in the water. They were also super accommodating when the group before us came back late, and added the 15 minutes we lost to the back end of our time slot. Would highly recommend them as a source of summer fun!
I recently went on one of jet ski Madison’s pontoons with my family and I have nothing to say other than I am impressed! The boat was beautiful and well kept. The whole family really enjoyed there time out on the water and it’s all thanks to you guys. A big thank you to Katie for taking the time to walk everyone through safe boater operations and instructions as well as some tips as to where some nice places to sight see would be. Thanks again Katie, you were a big reason why our family was able to enjoy our time like we did!
We had worked with Brady this past Saturday for our pontoon rental. He was super friendly and informative about how to navigate the pontoon. I was worried about docking coming back in but with his help and direction we docked perfectly. Our big group of 14 is definitely looking to book again.
My husband and I rented a jet ski to celebrate our anniversary and had a great experience with this company. Check in and a tutorial were pain free and although we got on the water a little later than scheduled, they pushed back our return time to make up for it. Two hours was more than enough time on the lake for us. I also noticed managements willingness to work with another couple who had traveled from out of state but had failed to complete their boater safety certifications. They spent extra time to work with them to ensure that they had the appropriate paperwork necessary to operate the jet skis when they could have easily turned them away. It felt like they really cared about their customers.
Kyle and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great time! Thanks so much for your accommodation when the day could have otherwise been spoiled because one of the jet skis was not available. Hope to be back soon to enjoy Lake Mendota!
Jet ski Madison was a very great and amazing experience with grate rates. We loved the fact that we do not have to leave town to enjoy these activities. I 100% recommend jet ski Madison. Larry is very professional and very knowledgeable. Thank you for making my family experience a great one !!!!
We had a blast!! It was our first time jet skiing in a very long time, the overview and safety info was quick and helpful and we were in the water in no time. The jet ski itself was well maintained and user friendly...and best of all fast! Amazing, friendly, responsive customer service with the goal of providing a safe and fun experience. I’ll be back!
Kyle helped us out with renting 2 jet skis for my sons birthday today. We had a BLAST and he was so easy to get along with and gave us first-timers the best tutorial we couldve possibly expected. Definitely will be coming to these guys again(:
Had a great time. Conditions were perfect. Our host Brady was super helpful. Will definitely suggest to friends rent again the next time we are here in Madison
Highly recommend this company. We had an amazing time, the customer service was great. Brady did a great job taking care of us! Definitely looking forward to renting from them again.
My husband and I came from Milwaukee to Madison to try out jet skis for the first time. Very pleased as I was already nervous. Rob made sure I was secure in my life vest. These are big machines but easy to operate. Great experience overall.
We had so much fun for one of my best friend’s bachelorette parties! Brady was our “guide” for the day and he was super helpful and helped us map out a route for our day. Would definitely recommend. Hope to rent again!
Nicole is the BEST!!! We loved her. Had such a great day on the boat! Friends and I loved the experience and cannot wait to come back. My only complain is that it had to end at some point— such a magical day!
Katie was PHENOMENAL! Jet Ski Madison should be proud to have such a great individual apart of their company! The way she interacts with customers is just amazing! It was my cousin’s first time driving a boat and she explain everything so clearly. She even rode a Jet Ski out to us when we thought we were getting seaweed caught in the fan(not sure what it’s really called lol) I’m extremely satisfied with our day on the water and will for sure rent the Pontoon again!
Great experience. Jet skis were in nice shape. The guy who brought the jet skis to the launch was on time and helpful. You get a temporary boaters license for the day, so if you don’t have one already it’s nothing to worry about. 10/10 would rent again.
Fantastic experience, and a beautiful day on the water! Kyle did a great job of helping us get going, even though there were a few hiccups. But everyone made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied, and even extended our time since we had to return to the dock. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone considering renting a boat in Madison!
This was SO FUN!! My boyfriend and I went out on Lake Mendota for his birthday and we couldnt have had a better time! Katie was such a dear and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be booking again before the summer is over thankfully the summer just began! See you hopefully soon Katie!!! Thank you, Jet Ski Madison!
My family enjoyed a pontoon rental from here. Googled boat rentals and they were number 1 and I see why. It arrived clean/Full of gas very happy. Great job her ski Madison!
Great customer service from Kyle!
Wonderful experience! My husband and I went Jet Skiing for the first time last weekend with Jet Ski Madison and had a blast. The two guys running it were very nice and professional. Highly recommend!
These guys are awesome! Very understanding and do what they can to make sure you have an awesome experience. 10/10 would recommend. Not sure of there names, sorry, but the lady, rob, and the guy who looks like the boss were very helpful. Thank you!
The people were very cool and understanding, they got us on the water quick and even gave us some extra time. As far as the boating test thats required, make sure to call and ask for any tips otherwise you will be extremely frustrated. I will definitely go back again.
Out of all the boat/ jet ski rental places I have rented from through out the state, jet ski Madison has by far been the best! Price, quality of equipment, and customer service has been nothing shy of excellent. I would recommend jet ski Madison to anyone who wants to have a great time and deal with some great people from jet ski Madison that will make your day as enjoyable as possible. A big shout out to Katie! I have never seen someone so dedicated and professional about her job. She will do whatever she can to make sure you have a safe and fun day out on the water. Thanks Katie!!
Everyone was very nice. They made the experience a pleasurable one. Two of us had never been on a jet ski before. The Lake was just to choppy that day for my 10 year old. We had to come in after an hour. This was no fault of Jet Ski Madison of course.
Went out on a pontoon for my sisters birthday and had a great time. Ross was very accommodating and answered all of our questions. He let us know about an incoming storm and directed us to somewhere we could go to wait it out.
We rented a pontoon for my Bach party and had an absolute blast! Carlos was a great driver and took us to a bunch of fun spots on BOTH lakes and suggested fun photo op spots! Highly recommend requesting Carlos if you want a fantastic boat captain!
Amazing, Amazing, AmazingNicole and Kyle were the best people you could have help you with your jet ski rental they are so much fun and are very knowledgeable. They did everything they could to accommodate us. Well see you guys Next year 😁
Carlos was the best driver ever!! He made sure we knew where we were going and had a ton of fun. He even took an amazing photo of us in front of the capitol.
Such a fun experience! Brady made our experience so easy and fun. Would highly recommend a two hour jet ski rental. Thanks Brady!
Rented a pontoon from these guys for my sisters bachelorette party this past weekend and it was great! Brady was SOOO friendly and knowledgeable and he really started and ended our trip on such a high note. Thanks Brady!
This was the best BOAT RENTAL ever!!!!!I had a girls day and it was so fun. They were so professional and amazing. I seriously highly recommend them for boat rentals. I felt so comfortable yet it was a BLAST!!!They definitely are Top and I recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!!
Jet skis and boats are well maintained and in brand new condition. Katie does a great job of interacting and taking care of customers I give her a 10 out of 10 for customer service. Highly recommend going through jet ski Madison if you’re looking to rent a pontoon or jet ski.
We rented a pontoon from Katie. for 4 hours and went out onto Lake Mendota in Madison. The experience was amazing and there were no problems during the entire trip! I will definitely be renting another boat from Jet Ski Madison soon and recommend this company to anyone looking for a great time!
Nicole was a great captain! We had a blast. Will definitely be back! She knew where to take us to swim and felt very safe on our ride!
Spent last Saturday on one of Jet Ski rental pontoons and had a great time. Brady was friendly and very informative. He explained everything we need to know and answered all of our questions.
Great experience, will definitely be back.Boat was waiting gir us fully gassed and looked like it was brand new! The gentleman that helped us get on the boat was very friendly and as a first time boat user he even gave me some good tips.. so lucky to have this in Madison...Went back the next day and rented the jet skis this is my new favorite thing to do!!
Got a pontoon boat for 6 people and had the absolute best day ever. Great instruction for new boat drivers and felt completely comfortable driving after the overview. Rob was really great and made us feel super safe and secure.
We rented a pontoon from Larry for 4 hours and went out onto Lake Mendota in Madison. The experience was amazing and there were no problems during the entire trip! I will definitely be renting another boat from Jet Ski Madison soon and recommend this company to anyone looking for a great time!
Rented a pontoon last week and had the best experience with Ross! He was knowledgeable & helped us with everything. Definitely a return customer!
