    We had such a great day on the lake. We rented a Pontoon boat and ordered lunch from the restaurant to take on the boat. We went tubing and paddle boarding. the boat was clean and easy to drive and had blue tooth for the music. which was a life saver because we forgot our speaker. Everyone at the marina was very nice and helpful. Can't wait to do it again.

    We rented a pontoon through Groupon for a day at Bartlett Lake, and it was such a great experience! The staff took the time to show my husband how to operate the boat, which made us feel comfortable before heading out. One of the best parts was that the boat was already in the water and ready to go, so we didn’t have to deal with towing or launching it ourselves. The pontoon was in great condition and much nicer than we expected. We also really appreciated the full canopy—it provided plenty of shade, which made a huge difference on such a hot Arizona day. There were eight of us, and we had more than enough room for everyone, plus our coolers and floaties. We spent the day cruising, swimming, and relaxing, and everyone had an amazing time. We’d definitely rent from them again!

    Had a great day at Bartlett Lake thanks in large part to the excellent and friendly folks at the Marina AND at the Cove restaurant. Everyone was super helpful from start to finish. We rented a pontoon boat for the day for a total of around $370 including fuel & insurance. A very competitive rate, especially compared to marina based rentals at Lake Pleasant. Plus, these guys helped us in every aspect of the day, from start to finish. It couldn’t have been any easier. And the staff up at the Mini Mart and restaurant (The Cove) were also great, especially Autumn (hope I remembered that right). (Pro Tip: if you are thinking about using the generally available Groupon, try contacting the Marina directly. They might be able to set you up with the discounted price without the added steps of Groupon). The lake is fairly low right now, but still plenty of water to enjoy, and the views are fantastic. Very quiet and peaceful during the week. Altogether we had a great experience at the Bartlett Lake Marina and out on the water.
