Snug Harbor South

We rented a 24′ bowrider for a day over the Labor Day weekend and it was the best time we had in Lake George. Boat was nice and clean, staffs were very friendly… We are renting from them this Labor Day weekend as well. Looking forward to another great experience :)

Best place to rent boats on Lake George period. Boats are always new and top of the line. Prices are the best on all of the lake also. I have done plenty of research year after year. Been coming here for 7 – 8 summers now. Went out this past weekend with a 20 ft Bowrider and 22 Sport Deck. Perfect size and speed for cruising the lake, hanging in Log Bay and tubing ! A little bit of a ride if staying in the village or south end of lake but well worth the ride up to Snug Harbor. I won’t go anywhere else on LG !

I have been to other Lake George boat rentals and prefer Snug Harbor.
We rented a brand new boat here in early June.
Friendly staff. Organized and accommodating. Went the extra mile for us.
Like another reviewer wrote, we had an equipment problem but felt they were very fair about it.
It was a great day on the lake.
We will be back.

What a pleasant experience. The staff was positively lovely and incredibly helpful. The boats were modern, clean and very reasonably priced. If I return to Lake George, I will definitely rent from here again. Sometimes you hear horror stories about boat rentals/​marinas (just look at other Unilocal reviews from other marinas), but honestly, Snug Harbor has to be the exact opposite of these places. They’re great.
The marina itself is located on a beautiful part of the lake, and we had an amazing day tubing, swimming and riding around. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

My husband and I along with another couple rented a nice sorts deck 20′ boat… had an unbelievable time on the lake! We rented it for 4 hours and then decided to extend the rental for the day. The staff was super friendly & knowledgable. A tube & water skis are included in the price. They even picked us up from another location & brought us to their marina. I would recommend this place & the pricing is fair!

Stayed in the Huletts Landing area and rented our boat from Snug Harbor South for 4 hours for a little over$ 300. They picked us up at the marina and took us on a 3 minute ride to the boat rental location for paperwork. Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and very detailed in their descriptions giving us newcomers the layout of the land and our new rental boat. We rented the 20ft sportsdeck. It was AWESOME! Water skis and a tube come free with the rental which was a super cool bonus! We took a ride to the south and ended up at the farthest end of Lake George where we docked, went to a restaurant right on the water with an amazing acoustic guitar player, went to a wine festival and then called to extend our rental for just $ 95 more! They were all super cool making our first time at Lake George incredibly memorable. Thank you!

We have been visiting the Silver Bay area of Lake George for several years now however we have never rented a boat before our trip this weekend. Snug Harbor South was the obvious choice due to its proximity to our lodging and reasonable rates for a partial day rental. We only had 4 people so we went in with the intention of renting their cheapest sport boat (an 18′ bowrider), however they were all rented out so we had to settle for a bit more expensive 20 footer. The rental staff was very kind and walked us through the controls and provided us with a lake map for our convenience. As expected we did a pre-​launch inspection with a marina staff member to identify anything broken or damaged before we took possession of the boat and then we were sent on our way.
We had a great time during our rental. We spent some time tubing and skiing and the rest just exploring areas on the northern half of the lake we had never seen before. My one complaint was that when we got the skis out of the ski locker there was a tear in the binding on one of the skis and we had to cruise about 15 minutes back to Snug Harbor South to get a replacement, which they swapped out for us no questions asked.
Overall our experience was very positive and we had a great time. Gas was pretty pricy but I would assume that’s pretty standard across the lake. All the staff members we dealt with were helpful and kind and the marina itself had a great atmosphere. I would (and likely will) rent from Snug Harbor again.

Do not go there! Horrible and unreasonable management.
We rented a boat for a day from them. Upon renting it, the manager noticed that the propeller and another thing from the boat were slightly damaged, but the manager still gave us the boat. In six hours, when we came back, they accused us of damaging the boat and charged us 380 $ for a brand new propeller and the other part (the name of which i don’t remember. How are you gonna charge me for a new part that was already damaged upon me renting it!!! The managers didn’t even want to talk to us, they kept saying we have to pay it, and that’s all! Even though we were extremely nice and patient (because me and my husband were with another couple) they were extremely rude.

These guys need some competition!
We have rented from them for years and each year the service and value decreases just a little more.
This year we hit the wall and won’t go back.
We had to rent 3 boats over 3 consecutive days because they did not have any one size available for all 3 days and they would not give us ANY kind of multi day discount. Then the condition of the boats got progressively worse to the point where the throttle was sticking on the last boat. While docking I had to hit the kill switch when it got stuck in reverse! Talking with some people on the dock I learned that a Snug Harbor boat that looked just like ours had the same problem there just a day before.
Upon returning the boat I told them the boat was unsafe and got a simple OK in response… not just once but with 2 separate people. They did not want to hear it.
Next year we will rent from Yankee marina who had nicer boats for same or less $.
