22ft 2023 Viaggio in Coeur d'Alene
Throughout the entire process from booking to boat return, Ruben and his lovely wife were very easy to communicate with. Ruben met us at the self-park with two passes for our cars and a wagon to help us carry our cooler and bags to the boat launch. He proceeded to thoughtfully inform us about his boat, which looked to be pristine and in excellent condition. He made sure to point out the extra towels, sunscreen and waters they had made available as well as life jackets. He even had food allocated in case our children wanted to feed the ducks (they did)! He was both timely and flexible with our schedule. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to book with them again!

Terry absolutely exceeded our expectations!!! He was very accommodating and picked us up near our Airbnb. We brought drinks and food and he had a cooler with ice ready along with extra food for us to grill. He let us connect to the music and we had an absolute blast!! He knew the area really well and truly gave us an experience on the lake we will never forget. Cannot recommend him enough!!

Sun Tracker Deluxe 20 Party Barge in Coeur d'Alene
Michelle is a great communicator and everything was ready to go on time. The boat is clean and well equipped and we had a great day on the water thanks to her personal recommendation of places to go. Michelle even greeted us at the dock at the end of the cruise with a dock cart for our things. I highly recommend her !
