This is the 3rd year renting a deck boat from Skylite Boat Rentals and I will continue to rent from them in the future. Skylite boats are CLEAN and well maintained. I have never had motor problems. When you pick your boat up at 8am, the staff is well organized and prepared to get you hooked up and on the way to enjoy of full day of boating. I found Skylite online and compared prices to the marina rentals...they are considerably less expensive. Keep in mind that you do have to put the boat in the water but NO BIG DEAL. One year I went with 3 girl friends and we had no problem getting the boat on and off the trailer. The staff at Skylite will walk you through the process. This year my husband and I put a lot of miles on the boat over a three day period. We camped along the way in quiet coves and really did a lot of exploring. What a fantastic time! Thank you Skylite for keeping the boat in top notch condition and problem free. See you next year.
You can't beat the price for these rentals. It is also a great location if you are staying or docking at Lone Rock Campground or Wahweap Marina. However, the equipment is on the older side. We rented 1 Jet Ski for 3 days and paid $531 after taxes plus gas. It was a lot of fun to have. We were there in August which tends to rain a lot in the evenings. Because of the rain it washed a lot of debris onto the shore. The debris would get into the motor of the jet ski and it would take awhile to get it to work again. If the jet ski was running great I would have rated it better. Not quite sure if it was the Jet ski or the debris, but we didn't see anyone else having problems with the debris. We also had a boat there and it didn't have any problems at all. The year before we went in October and the water was a little colder, but no rain or debris at all. All in all it was still fun, just wish it would have worked a little better.
Rented a boat from skyline (Baja 5) . The people were very nice, I believe a family run business, Everything was as said, no hidden fees or any add ons. The boat ran very well but is in need of refurbishing( it was a 2000 ) I would rent from these people again. We rode from Wahweap to Bullfrog and back. Had a great time. I
We rented the Chaparral 24.6 boat for 4 days. It had good power and surprisingly lower than expected gas consumption. It was great to work with Skylite. The staff were very friendly, responsive and helpful. We are going to rent from them again. I would recommend stopping in the day before to fill out the paperwork so pick-up is fast the next morning.
We called a few hours in advance and rented a speedboat at 4 pm that afternoon. The staff was helpful and we loaded a couple tents and a cooler for the night and day. We also rented an tube, for the kids, from the neighbors. We were not missing anything! We found a pretty secluded beach to camp on by map and we really enjoyed our boat!
This is our second time renting a boat from this company. This tome we rented it for 3 days. I really appreciated the way they run this place. Price is right and customer service was A+Will rent again.
I used Skylite Boat rentals for a runabout boat to go with our houseboat on Lake Powell. The process was easy and painless. I rented the Donzi to take our guests touring on Lake Powell as well as using toys (boards/tubes). The boat ran well which is the most important part for me when on Lake Powell. The engine was well maintained. They gave me extra oil for the engine and showed me the idiosyncrasies I needed to know. The boat was not in mint condition, nicks in the fiberglass, some small cracks in the seats, etc. All documented before I arrived. It was a good tough boat for what we needed on Lake Powell.
I made a reservation for a one day power boat rental one month before we were to arrive at Lake Powell. I was told by the person on the phone that there were plenty of boats available that day but it is always a good idea to have a reservation and that I could cancel up to two days before our rental date, so I went ahead with it. Due to a change of plans, I had to cancel one week later. I was told on the phone no problem, reservation cancelled. I found out later that they had charged me a $75 non-refundable reservation charge that they now claimed by their policy was due the second I made the reservation. I tried to talk to their representative but it was obvious that they had this same issue arise many times in the past and they had their pat answers down and would not budge even though charging someone $75 when they clearly had not provided any services and the reservation was cancelled way ahead of time is completely a rip-off. My suggestions to folks, other than reading the other reviewer's problems with Skylite Rentals and to review their website very carefully for other hidden charges and not trust the folks on the phone. For example, I found hidden in their literature that you must have the boat back at their site with all your gear removed and full of fuel. You will be charged a half-day rental if you are more than 10 minutes late. Heaven help you if you are deemed to have scratched of dinged one of their older boats as other reviewers have had the unfortunate experience.
We took 2 boats. The team was great and nice. We got the best price in the area...Had no problem and they even refer us to their neighbors to take floating boats what made the sailing even more fun.
These guys are a great value and close by the lake. I will definitely do business with them again. Thanks for the great weekend at Lake Powell! We rented two wave runners, they had awesome power and ran very smooth.
