Gordy’s

My partner and i have both been doing a tour of the states and thought whist we are over here we would love to do some water skiing (we both one ski back home) so we thought we would book a private lesson to improve. Little did we know the private lesson turned out Not to be a lesson but it was just one guy driving the boat back and forth offering no advice on how to improve (made the comment when we got there that he was happy we could ski so it’s easier for him also didn’t introduce him self and didn’t bother to ask our names let alone learn them). also might add it was not good driving! I have grown up on a lake and had my father driving me who competed in boat racing so I have learn how things work. I am a light person and he was ripping me out of the water. I have always been able to deep water start but could not Do it once. My partner who is a bigger guy said it felt like his arm sockets we being ripped out. When we asked for him to slow down when towing us out he did not listen once.
Over all disappointed especially since we forked out $ 200 (we are on a 6 week tour so that money is valuable money to spend)
Don’t offer private lessons and a mass rate if you don’t intend on giving a lesson and only someone to drive the boat.

Probably not enough space here to say how much we love Gordy’s. Fox Lake and Fontana — Jimmy, Matt, Tom, Melissa… everyone from ownership to marina attendants. This is the end of our third year as a boat, marina and storage customer of Gordy’s, and I would rather not boat if I had to be somewhere else. Looking forward to 2015! There’s a reason why they are ranked #1 for customer service (for ALL marinas in the US). Cobalt Boats should be proud to have their logo on the door at Gordy’s!

We rented a boat here for the first time and service was exceptional. The boat they gave us was brand new and spotless. I would rent from them again!

Great restaurant with a very diverse menu. Place gets VERY busy so plan to wait, but waiting outside looking right at Lake Geneva is a nice place to pass the time. Both food and service is excellent (have to say the cutest waitresses anywhere) and the Friday night fish fry is really really good.

This is our third year in a row going to Gordy’s and renting a boat to go tubing. The whole family drives up every summer and the only weekend we could get it to work this summer was late in August. We were nervous that the weather would be crappy (which it was not so great) but then again the entire summer has kinda of sucked anyways.
The reasons I like going to Gordy’s
1. The staff is always friendly and helpful
2. You can come back early and not get charged for the whole time you thought you would be out, just the time you were actually gone for (and on a colder day today, we definitely did not stay out for the full 4 hours we normally do).
3. The boats are always clean and in good condition
4. It is not outrageously expensive
5. They let you pick out which tube you would like to use and there are lots of choices
6. They will let you cancel in advance which most boat rentals we found in Lake Geneva will ONLY give you a rain credit (annoying!)
Overall, another great experience even if it was a cooler out, we still had a great time!
