What boaters are saying

I had a wonderful day here. The marina is small and has a restaurant that is hit or miss as to whether it’s opened or closed as it frequently changes ownership. Staff at the restaurant were kind and polite and our boat ride was wonderful. there was also live entertainment on Board by the local singer named Eric originally from New York. Bottled cocktails and beer are available on board.

Beautiful spot for a day trip just a short distance from the Phoenix/Mesa area. We took the Saguaro Lake tour aboard the Desert Belle. We had done the same thing at Canyon Lake aboard the Dolly Steamboat on a prior visit to Mesa, and thought it would be fun to check out Saguaro Lake this time. We had been here before to Kajak, and loved the lake and wanted to see more of it. The boat cruise was was fun, but if I had to choose, Dolly Steamboat was a much nicer experience. With that said, if you plan on doing both anyway, do this one first and then Dolly, so it is an upgrade and not a downgrade. Both are worthwhile. The Desert Belle utilizes folding chairs in rows for your comfort, and Dolly has tables and chairs so you can face each other. Just a more comfortable experience. Either way, get there way early (an hour or so) to have a better choice of seating as it is first come, first served.

Was going to ride the tour boat but went to marina restaurant first to sit have lunch and maybe a drink but found out they don't open till almost noon, big bummer cause we wanted to enjoy the morning with breakfast or brunch and get on our tour you don't get food before don't have enough time, so by the time the tourwas over it's in between dinner and we had to get home so no breakfast, tour was during lunch so didn't get to go to restaurant and to late when we got back., so i don't know how the restaurant was , but all other marinas i know open for breakfast so I will go there next time, but if your looking for just a boat tour captain Dan and staff on the boat were great .

A friend recommended this activity for when we had family in town and it was loved by all (ages 5 to 65). The staff were friendly and informative. We had perfect weather and the snack choices were much appreciated. Boat was clean and comfortable.
