We rented a pontoon boat on Labor Day weekend. It was out first time renting a pontoon boat and things went well. The boat itself was in excellent condition - clean, worked well, easy to use. I have some boating experience, but not a ton. The staff gave us a great overview of how to safely use the boat and answered all our questions (we had a lot). They were very safety oriented and patient.The logistics of the actual rental did require some attentiveness on our part. For instance, every person who was going to be on the boat had to sign a paper waiver. For the 10 person boat we were going to take up to 25 people (adults and kids) in shifts. At first the staff wanted each person to come in person to sign. We convinced them we could follow directions well and get everyone to properly sign the waivers. We did, but I saw first hand how easy it is for people to not sign a waiver properly! Some people we had to take the waiver back a second time. If I were to recommend one change it would be to set up the option for electronic waivers so we could take care of it in advance of the vacation.In looking at the other reviews, if you are going to rent from here (or anywhere) just be ready to follow their directions. We were happy to and had a blast!We had an awesome time on the lake and would definitely rent from Jocassee Outdoor Center again!

We didn’t end up renting from this company because they were making every single member of the group to sign a waiver in person. We had a house with a dock and wanted to pick up our 70 year old parents from there with the rented boat and not to make them go through a rough 30 min drive to the rental agency back and forth. We’ve explained it to the lady on the phone, but got no options. It’s 2023, Jocassee Outdoor Center, people sign these forms online nowadays. We went with another company that made it easy for us.

Just wanted to say that this is a beautiful place. And the people who work here are very nice. The other day, I witnessed a woman being very rude to the shuttle driver, who asked her to move out of the no parking zone which is for her loading and unloading. This woman has now left a nasty review. She believes she has the right to park wherever she wants and when asked to move was nasty to the shuttle driver who was perfectly pleasant until this woman got rude.Too many people these days believe they have the right to be nasty to whoever they want and do whatever they want.

Horrible company... you should be ashamed of grown people calling others name. I'll make sure as many people know about this place as possible!

I ran into a problem with my family on the 4th of July & wasn't able to make it to rent a pontoon from Jocasee Outdoor Center. Kelly was more than understanding & helped in every way possible. This was our 2nd time renting a pontoon from this location & I can't say it couldve went any smoother. They had everything waiting on us when we arrived. I will forever be a customer at JOC!

This lake is fantastic. Very wide and lots of fabulous water falls to see. Take a boat ride and enjoy it.

The staff was really nice. Pontoons were well taken care of. Lots of stuff in the store to buy. The lake was amazing. I will definitely use them more in the future.

Was looking for a stove because it rained and they had everything we needed to cook and eat while camping. Life saver!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. A lady helped me order a hat over the phone and sent me pictures that I had lost and shipped it to me before Christmas. These are the best kinds of people ❤️

Charlie, Kelly and the staff at JOC have done services on my Carolina Skiff 2015 to include servicing the Yamaha motor, wiring and most recently helping me with a flat trailer tire.They stand behind their work and they are a joy to work with! When fishing I always stop in to see them. I trust them and am extremely thankful for their efforts to keep me on the water!If you’re heading up to Lake Jocassee stop by to see them! They can help you out with a multitude of needs!GregTGreenville SC

We booked a boat for the day at Lake Jocassee. We have stayed there a few times but, we were really excited about touring the lake in our own pontoon boat. We were rained out that day and received a rain check. We were told we had a year to rebook the trip. I called 2 different times with questions on when I had to book the trip by. Both times I was told it had to be booked before the year was up. Both times asked if we could book in October for my birthday weekend. Both time I was told yes. When I called to book it I was told that it could not be out side of a year and that that year expired tomorrow. I was then told that they were very clear about the policy. They could have rented the boat one month pasted the expiration date and made almost $500 instead, they lost a customer kept my hard earned $204 deposit.

Rented a boat July 7th of Fourth of July week. With less than 24 hour notice, they were able to make it happen. Great staff that wants their customers to be happy with their rental experience. Beautiful lake, with amazingly clear water.
