Customers consistently praise the seamless booking process and excellent communication here. The staff, particularly Candace, Patrick, and Sue, get called out repeatedly for being helpful and approachable from initial contact through to departure. People appreciate that phones actually get answered when questions come up, and the team shows flexibility with things like free extensions when delays happen or complimentary upgrades to nicer boats. The captains draw overwhelmingly positive feedback, with Brandon and Ryan mentioned by name for going above and beyond at destinations like Crab Island. They handle details like connecting Bluetooth systems, bringing food boats over to guests, and taking photos. The boats themselves are described as clean and well-maintained, though a couple note some wear and tear. One serious complaint stands out regarding inappropriate captain behavior and an unhelpful company response, which is worth noting given the otherwise glowing reviews. Most guests say they book repeatedly year after year and recommend the service to friends without hesitation.
Our experience and the rental itself was absolutely wonderful!! We were first time pontoon boat drivers in town from Memphis. Our host Travis was awesome!! Travis went over the paperwork, boating rules, functionality of the pontoon boat, what to look out for on the waterways, and when/how to return to dock. He also helped us with load a few items on the boat. We will definitely rent with and refer Schneider Shell Boating to others. Thanks for the experience!
