Q:
Do we have to make a reservation for paddle boards or can we just walk in?
A:
You can do both. To make it easier, it's best to rent online so when you arrive in-person. The staff will brief and you will be on your way
Matthew C.Q:
Can you park an RV by the lake?
A:
Late reply, but there are day-use campgrounds and overnight campgrounds if you plan to camp by the lake. Unsure how much the fee is per car but I would say estimated less than $25

With the economy the way it is we try to do little mini-vacay's closer to home than one big family summer vacation.. and THE BEST money I spend every year is here!! Been here already twice this year and going again next week! Kids are beyond excited to swim in the lake and the adults are excited about jet skiing! With a family vacation its usually just the hubby, kids and I but with these little day-cations we include cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.. SOOO much more fun to have some adult interactions as well as the kids having a blast with cousins! Throw some kabobs, burgers and hot dogs on the grill while listening to some tunes on the iPod port they have on the boats, laying out to get a tan or swimming in the lake is pure heaven! Flawless phone customer service, Its always a breeze booking a rental here. Feels like talking to family. Marty has the best staff on Lake Berryessa and they continue to strive for excellence every time we come. They keep their equipment in tip top shape for their customers. As long as u follow the rules and listen to their advice u will never be disappointed. Been coming for years with ages ranging from 1-55 and have never been charged a penny for any damage or unnecessary extras! We always leave with a smile on our faces (albeit a little sunburned :0)) excited for the next time!
Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Jul 20, 2011Previous reviewMarty and his team Are fantastic!! My family has been coming here for years.. We always do separate events but every summer we like to get together at least once to have a blast on jet ski's and the patio boats.. Well this time was no exception.. We had so much fun this year we might do it again.. They are super flexible on times and the prices are great, the equipment is fairly new and clean.. We had two jet ski's and a 15passenger patio boat. Yes they do tell you stories on how boats and jet ski's get damaged but that's only because they want to make you aware of it.. The gas guy is a separate business I believe.. In the middle of our rental the gas on the jet ski was low so my husband and brother in law drove them back to top off and they were required to pay the gas guy then but since they were on jet ski and in their swim suits they didn't have any cash.. Well no problems here cause Marty paid it out of his pocket for us and we were going to pay him at the end.. Well at the end after they charged us for everything as we were walking to the car we realized he didnt charge us for the extra gas so we went back down to pay him. And gave him some hot dogs and chicken kabobs that they now want the recipe for.. Some of the reviews on here are way off.. Just cause Marty is the owner is he not allowed to be out on the water with his friends and family?? And if they are charging you for dents or any scratches it's cause you put them there.. I'm sure if this was your business and your property you be just as vigilant!! Overall my family and I have a great time every year we go.. And we are never dissatisfied! They go above and beyond to make sure your happy!

*Great & Amazing Experience, I will come again sometime*
This was my first time choosing to rent from this company. I was worried that I had to rent a U-Haul pickup truck to tow their equipment. No Worries!! After making a reservation online, you show up on time. Time is important, it was quite a drive and I was 30 minutes late to my reservation. It was all good, I made it on time to enjoy the jet skis! Upon arrival, a person will brief you everything. Once completed, you follow the person towing your rental to the launch gate. Parking is $20, cash only! From there, you will enjoy your rental!
Despite my experience, I did ran through a problem during my rental. I followed their rules and yet I got a warning light. Called the phone number they have given me, luckily I was with a buddy. They sent guys out to tow the jet ski, thank you! After we got back, no problems or damages were found on both jet skis. Small issue was oil overfill during the time the jet ski went through maintenance. It was understandable but I was given $25 for my next rental and refund back. We've taken it with care and hope someday to return to have fun!!

Everyone at this location has always been 5 star but John has consistently been an excellent instructor and is always finding a way to accommodate the clients. Me and my children can not thank you enough John. We will be back soon.

Came last Friday to rent a fishing boat about 9am. Had no reservations. Gary had us in the water fishing within 30 minutes. Well organized and friendly. The boat was perfect for cruising Lake Berryessa. Will be back and recommend.

Went on a girls trip this past weekend and we rented a boat from Marty and his staff. Everyone was super friendly and explained everything thoroughly including safety, where to go, and how to drive the boat.
Marty ended up giving us a new boat which was awesome! We hung out on the water for about 5 hours before taking it back, and it was $ well spent! It was so much fun boating, listening to music, and swimming in the lake.
Since we are such noobs, we decided to Uber to the lake which was a HUGE mistake. We had trouble finding a ride back to Santa Rosa which was like an hour away. Marty and his staff heard that we were stranded, they offered to drive us to a nearby bar so we can hangout and find a ride. He even offered to come back at a later time to check on us. This is really going above and beyond for your customers.
Thank you so much Marty and staff! You guys are truly amazing and we had a blast!Helpful 7Thanks 1Love this 9Oh no 0 - 42308398Aug 30, 2021
Lake Berryessa was the final stop of my Bachelor party tour and we rented a boat and two jet-skis from this establishment.
Getting set up was pretty straight forward and the staff was overall pretty friendly. My guy with the lip piercing was very knowledgeable and helpful. He did a very good job explaining how the boat works, safety tips, and what to expect on the water.
The boat that we were on was perfect for us. We had 10 people and 2 kids aboard and it was so fitting for that number. We had so much fun with that raft attached to the back too!
The jet skis were fun too although one was significantly faster than the other. Or maybe one or both had a bad speedometer? I don't know.
Overall I had a great experience and I can see myself going through them again.
PRO TIP! Their jet ski feature says "Great for 1-3 riders." What they really mean you can only have up to 3 registered riders per jet ski. Or at least that's what they told us. This is obviously a soft limit because they were giving us a hard time with having more than 3 assigned drivers and we kept asking for more drivers until we got our way. I'm pretty grateful for them to let us slide.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information
