Best Water Sports Equipment Rental Service Warren Near Me

Howard Niskar: My wife and I bought our very first boat from Dirk at Action Water Sports at Pine Lake Marina. We didn't know what to expect and were extremely pleased with our experience. Dirk was very knowledgable of not only his offering, but of many other boat brands and models, which made selecting the right boat for us a very easy decision. What made our purchase of the boat here even better is the ability to slip our boat at Pine Lake Marina. Pine Lake is a beautiful all sports lake, that never seems to be very congested despite the number of boats docked throughout the lake. It's an amazing lake to enjoy all types of activities on your boat!!!As for the staff at this location, they are extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. Dirk has done a wonderful job here and the ski school is always rocking during the Summer. One of the things my wife is looking forward to is the Women's Driving Course being held on June 3 (another great offering from Action Water Sports).All in all, I would have to say our (and ALL of our family and guests) experiences have been wonderful and would HIGHLY recommend Action Water Sports and the Pine Lake Marina to anyone interested!!!

Melanie Fowkes: The price is worth the peace

Luis Blanco: Great customer service. Excellent place.

Nicolle Alexander: I tried this place for the first time this summer and was instantly hooked ! Wonderful atmosphere with the friendliest staff. Check-in is easy and once at the docks they give a paddle lesson, safety tips and even a recommendation on which route to take depending on the weather. I was nervous the first time, so I went to the creek side, but I've gone back a few times now and paddled to the lake (about 15 mins in the other direction). Truly a gem for Windsor-Essex county, I highly recommend !

Lexie Lightbody: Truly the most welcoming place I’ve ever been too! Me and my sister went paddling and it was a blast:) Staff were so kind, pleasant and just all around amazing! They gave us very good advice on where to go, safety and how to paddle! Love this local place so much!

Lauren Lightbody: Best place ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best staff and best service I’ve ever had. Staff are super helpful and made me feel safe at alllllll times!! Even tho I was nervous they told me the exact things to do and exact routes to go. Gave me thorough explanation of safety and I couldn’t be more pleased. Thanks so much, will be back all summer!!!!!

Sanaa Mraiheen: A must try in Windsor, drove 9 hours to try this place and it was well worth it !! They have pottery classes, paddle boats, kayaks, and such a beautiful atmosphere! And I have to mention the amazing customer service.. the owner is amazing and all the staff were really nice !!

Joneric Moore: Great fun for the family

Amy Dupuis: Love this place!

ml_t_iw: As a first timer I was a bit anxious, but you get more comfortable after 30min or so of feeling stronger versus softer helped build confidence. A great experience.

Patel Mihir: Very helpful and pleasent staff, beautiful place to spend time on water 🤗

Sam Chauhan: Memories and memories

C Collins: I went here to try paddle boarding. It was a great experience, and the staff are very knowledgeable. They are able to help you decide on what kind of experience you will have depending on your skill level. I can't wait to go back!

nathalie Dallaire: Was our first time and we will be back next weekend!!!!

Ldf: We had so much fun kayaking we left picked up the kids and went back for another hour!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to do it again!

Gladiator IHM: I wanted to give 0 star but I can't unfortunately. They charge $20/hr which is a complete rip off plus the boats are old and worn out.

Mayur Patel: The staff with Simple Adventures is very helpful and was quick to take us in and get us kayaks, paddles and life jackets. You have to sign a waiver, which you can do in a few minutes before kayaking. They do not provide much instruction but it is not too difficult to figure out especially if you have people who have kayaked before. The prices are fair, about $20 per person per hour. We did not reserve ahead of time and were able to rent 4 double kayaks. Beware that the kayaks and paddle boards launch from the northern launch port, and you can also pay here too. From the launch point it is relatively far to get into the lake, and takes up essentially 30 min to get to the lake and 30 min to get back.

Breanna Golden (Mika_misaki_): My sister and nephews tried to rent a boat and were denied because they said it was too late (understandable) but then a white gentleman comes up right after and they rented him a boat this is not ok very unprofessional and discriminatory the park didn’t even wanna deal with the issue but we will make sure that this issue is addressed!!!

Andrea Girrell: Great Time. Employee was helpful and process was easy!Thanks for a great time!

T Kizewski: This service rents kayaks paddleboards in canoes at metro Beach. You have to go to the north Marina boat launch to find them. This is an old woman owned businessand the ladies who own this are super friendly and courteous. I highly recommend using the service whenever you go to metro. This is the same company that in 2021 operated the food bar at the terrace along the beach at Metro. They had lots of good healthy food choices and offered some things that are a little bit different from most of your typical Beach concession fare.

Jennifer Jenkinson: We took the kids and the dogs kayaking here and it was great. Very easy and girls were helpful

Sharmistha Datta: Good location. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.

Ashley Kay: The two younger women who work at the beach hut at metro beach were insanely rude. Me and my bf wanted to rent kayaks. We paid for them and waited patiently for them. I rented from metro before And they use to bring the kayaks down directly to the beach. After a few minutes of waiting, I asked where to meet them at. The first girl said, with an attitude said, “at the boat launch”. I needed more directions not knowing where it was. The other girl chimed and also repeated, at the boat launch. The girls kept saying things like “over there” and “by the exit” but was very short with us and unhelpful. We eventually figured it out on our own. The staff at the boat launch was kind and nice. But you actually have to drive to entire different area of the park. The beach girls seemed more interested in playing on their phones than helping out paying customers.

Saundra Yaklin: Love the ladies who run this. They gave me a paddle board lesson and were very patien .

Deanne Yaklin: Very kind and dedicated staff - we appreciate they could keep us all safe and happy for outdoor fun at this time!!

Sharla Buza: Great experience, hard working, knowledgeable and helpful employees from the check out to check in process with biking and kayaking. I’d highly recommend Simple Adventures for some summer fun!

Eric Yaklin: Super friendly and helpful folks working the shop. I always enjoy stopping in and renting gear.

NOVA Volleyball Admin: Family outing on a beautiful day. The river wasn’t open yet due to COVID restrictions, but Lake St Clair Metro park location back into the Black Creek Marsh is open for rentals!Go support this small business finding their way in this challenging working climate. We love how easy it is to pop in, get all equipment and just go paddle. No loading yaks and boards on cars, finding parking and lugging stuff around.Thanks for all of your patience answering all of our questions staff! We had a blast and will be back again.

A R F A T H: Couldn't have been worse.I was asked to not to go into the lake, which was the whole point of me kayaking there. Because many others did.I got the rental for 2.5 hours. And just before I started, I was told that I couldn't kayak in the lake, but only on the inter side where there were plants and weeds that don't let anyone nearby.Still when I asked that I'd go up to the lake but not in it, they agreed and said it'd take 45 minutes one way, and I should use the remaining time getting back as me kayaking against the wind on my way back would cover up the remaining time I'd have left.Understanding that they have more knowledge about the area and time estimates, I listened to them. But it took me 50 minutes round trip, and I have no idea what to do for the remaining time I have left, and I am where I started. I can't go to the weeds area, nor can I go back the same trial I just did, to at least enter the lake and come back.I ended up returning the kayak 1.5 hours after I got it, therefore wasting my money, regretting to trust the crew, and not having fun because of this mess.Could it have been worse?I've kayaked many times before and guess what, Simple Adventures was the worst.

Walt Morgan: Had a great time on the Black Creek Marsh Sunset tour. Leah is a great guide. I definitely recommend this event.

Mitchell Barman: Had such an awesome time, they were so fun and relaxing! Will definitely be back! Perfect way to spend an evening!

Alex: Having wanted to learn kayaking for many years, I finally decided that this would be the year to start. To ensure that I go off to the right start, I choose Simple Adventures and could not be more please. Why? Sure making a reservation was easy, but the staff was very accomidating when I had to change appointment times, with Michaela being very easy to reach. For the lesson, instructor, Jordan, began with the basics before we even took to the water. He addressed all questions as well as taking the time to understand what I wanted to get out of kayaking. But the thing that really makes Simple Adventures a wonderful company is the people. Michaela and Jordan are incredibly patient and nice people who do nothing but try their best to provide the best experience possible for the customer. I was intending to take only one private lesson, but have already booked my second again because of this very friendly staff.

Rishabh Dhawan: Awesome, will meet again and again

Kathleen Vannelli: We recently rented two pontoon boats from RAW Watersports - and had a truly excellent experience. Dean and his team kindly accommodated our group a day ahead of their normal season opening. The communication throughout our experience with RAW Watersports was fantastic - clear and timely. Dean and his team that day - Quintin and Lauren were extremely professional, helpful - and provided a great lesson and introduction to St. Clair lake!We would highly recommend RAW Watersports for your boating needs - we are already looking forward to returning and renting again!Thank you all very much - it was a pleasure!

Long Trinh: We rented the Godfrey for 2 days. It was awesome. Its a new and clean boat. It is hard to come by boat rentals here, so it was nice that Raw was very professional and easy to work with. Will def try to rent from them again.Update 2/2023: just emailed Dean about renting a boat from him again. Treated me like a king! Have ours booked for summer of 2023.

The boat was very clean and easy to drive, all of the staff were amazing! Including communication, tutorials and scheduling around some bad weather. 100% recommend Raw water sports to anyone looking to take advantage of Windsor Essex County’s abundant water ways (without the hassle of owning a boat)!! We will be booking again for sure.

O.T. Kitchen: Another wonderful experience with RAW Watersports. Quintin was very patient and helpful in getting us prepared. It was a great time! And we intend to rent again. I really appreciate not having the hassel of filling up the tank on our return. They just deduct the fuel used from the deposit. It is a great family business.

J P: Awesome jet ski also the staff are very polite and understanding thanks raw you guys were great.

Michael Hyjek: Great service.. good orientation, was easy.. timely response.. good equipment.. had a great day on the water.. will rent again.
