What Our Customers Are Saying
Austin and Megan are both very responsive, friendly and helpful! The boat we rented was THE NICEST pontoon boat we’ve ever rented and the price was VERY reasonable. We look forward to renting from them again the next time we visit High Rock Lake!
We had a really great experience with Blue Heron Boat Rental. They were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. I appreciated their hands on help with making reservations and providing advice in a timely manner. The boat was also very beautiful, clean, and in great condition. We had everything we needed. Thanks so much for making it a wonderful day!
Blue Heron boat rental was top notch!! From start to finish it was the easiest process and made our day on the lake relaxing and worry free! Austin was there to show us through all the options on the boat and helped us get on the water quickly and safely. He was there to check the boat in with us present so there was no question about anything. We will definitely use Blue Heron boat rental again this summer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Austin and Megan were great to work with. Work hard to make our rental work for us and the time we had to be on the lake. Boat was nice with great sound and helpful GPS system so didn’t get lost on a new lake. Would definitely use them again. Had a great time.
