If you need a boat or service on boat, these guys are awesome! Bought a Bennington a year ago from Alex and couldn't be more pleased. No pressure at all and we got exactly what we wanted. Had a little problem with it recently and brought it in. Zack's crew had it done in within 24 hours. Really appreciate everything.

We had a great experience renting a boat here. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and the rental process was smooth from start to finish. We were informed ahead of time about the 3% fee for using a credit card, which is pretty standard in Central Minnesota, so no complaints there.
One thing to note for future renters: the 3% fee is also applied to the security deposit — and that portion of the fee isn’t refunded, even when the full deposit is returned. It caught us a little off guard, since a deposit isn’t a purchase or service, just a hold. Not a huge deal, but something to be aware of.
Overall, we had a great time and would rent from them again. Just a small heads-up for others about how the deposit fee works.

We rented a pontoon over the weekend from them. Every single person here is super friendly and over the top accommodating. I highly recommend using them for any of your boat needs. I watched them greet every single person and make sure they were helped asap. We will be back to rent again unless you talk my wife into buying which I’m sure you will. Thanks again we will see you all soon.

Needed a livewell pump for an older fishing boat. The staff was very helpful and easy to work with and helped us find the right part and accessories we needed to install it. Very pleased with the experience, highly recommended for boat parts and expertise.

Jordan and Zac were a huge help with answering some questions I had about my boat. Friendly and knowledgeable guys. Wish this marina was closer to where I live!

I took my pontoon out of storage and it was completely dead. I had lake days do some previous work for me so I stopped in again for help. They said if you can bring it up to the store right away they can take a look at it. Zaac came out and within 10 minutes had it running. I couldn't be more appreciative of these guys and their great staff

Fantastic people to work with. Have worked with this group for numerous things including boat purchase, maintenance, storage and even rented a storage unit from them. Cannot say enough good things. Not pushy whatsoever and are extremely helpful all around. I will never go anywhere else.

Liked the Old Al's Marine, did good work, busy place. Now it's Outlet Marine. Have had 2 years of doing business with them. My experience has been way above EXPECTATIONS! Launched my pontoon, had issues, it was fixed in a DAY, (needed to order a part) their service guy ZACH is excellent, has been spot on!

We had an amazing experience at Crosslake Outlet Recreation, thanks to Alex Beste. Honestly, Alex is more than just a salesman; he felt like a friend from the start. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and operates with the highest integrity.
We were on the hunt for a pontoon boat, and Alex really went the extra mile. He stayed late just to help us out, showing us a variety of boats—new and used—that matched what we were looking for. What really stood out was how he took the time to give us honest advice, always with our best interests in mind, not just trying to make a sale.
Alex made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. If you're in the market for a pontoon, do yourself a favor and go see Alex at Crosslake Outlet Recreation. I can’t recommend him enough!
