Comment: We rented a ski boat at Calville Bay – we had a great time! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us a quick primer on the boat itself and gave us instructions on what to do before, during and after. The price was great – even the drive to Calville Bay was wonderful. We will go again!

Comment: My husband and I have rented a ski boat from Callville for 2 years in a row now and are likely to return again next summer. The first year everything was amazing – the boat, the staff, the weather – everything was good. This year we had a slight hiccup. I did a boat damage inspection with one of the employees before we took the boat out. We both noticed that the propeller was showing a little of what’s called “edge ware” where basically the outer edge of the propeller is dinged and scratched with paint missing. It was agreed between me and the employee doing the inspection that the damage was on the boarder of NOT being acceptable and needing to be replaced, but we agreed it should be fine. What causes edge ware to the prop is when people beach their boats or take them into shallow water and do not raise the motor out of the water. We spent the far majority of our day in the open water with an innertube and was never in any situation where the prop came remotely close to touching the lake bottom. So imagine my surprise when we came in to return the boat and the same employee from the morning inspection is telling me the prop is damaged and needs to be replaced at my expense. Now two civil individuals can have an honest disagreement about what was said or seen eight hours previous, but my real problem was with this employee’s attitude and personalization of the issue – both becoming deeply offended and slightly agitated that I didn’t have the same recollection as him and therefore I was calling him a liar and a deep felt insinuation that I was trying to get out of responsibility for damage I caused and I knew it. In the end the manager agreed to waive the $130.00 damage and so while annoyed at having to have such an interaction at the end of an amazing day on the lake, they did do the right thing and make it right. Take pictures people – that’s my advice. All said, we will be back next summer.

Comment: First time renting a houseboat. Rented 60′ Eagle at the end of June 2021.
The staff at Callville was friendly at each instance. Good communication leading up to our rental weekend. The lake is at “historically low” water levels , but there was enough water to go around, so to speak. Some muddy beaches but otherwise quite nice. Temperature was in the low 100’s but the water was cool and clean.
Husband grew up with a houseboat, I grew up with ski boats. Husband was losing sleep over the idea of negotiating this 60′ mofo in and out of the slip. However Callville handles that for their renters. When you approach the marina you radio to them that you wish to come in, and why. They send you a pilot on a wet bike or ski boat. He boards and drives you in. They also provided a map of the lake and gave tips on where to go and not go. Such a relief.
The orientation right after we boarded was quite thorough. Jody is their shining star. Delightful sense of humor, thorough, and patient. Answered all of our questions.
I give 4 stars because the boat was not perfect. Ours appeared to be an older boat which had been remodeled. No water pump on the slide, 12V charger was not working and we were unable to inflate our paddleboards. TV was not getting a signal. However we pulled in day 2 and they quickly repaired those issues.
My tips for first time houseboaters: >Make sure you are close with whomever you are renting. Very close quarters. You are living on top of each other. Ex) You have to turn sideways to allow a second person to walk down the hallways. The ladder to the flying bridge and slide is very steep and narrow. The walls are very thin. You can hear everything everyone is doing! >Include the price of fuel in your budget. The boat must be returned with a full tank. Our boat held a 265 gallon fuel tank. When we pulled in for repairs, we had 3/4 tank and decided to top it off. $148. We looked for a cool cove and found one where we stayed beached overnight. Running AC. When we turned the boat in, we were at half tank. $348 more. >Bring more bottled water, snacks, food, and alcohol than you think you need. We ran out of water day two. We were out of breakfast food the last day. And out of beer, mixers, and vodka the last evening. There is a lake store which offers some food and supplies, but the docking process burns fuel and takes a couple of hours. > Bring something to do in the water. Paddleboards, Paddleboat, Kayaks, Volleyball, Waterguns, Floating chairs. And something to do onboard at night. We were off-grid nights 2 and 3. No phone. No TV. >We arrived Friday night for early boarding to discover they had very few carts available. Their carts are like large plastic wheelbarrels you may load and with which you can roll your gear onto the boat. The water level is low, and it’s a bit of a trek to the marina. There were 5 of us, each with supplies to bring aboard. Coolers, paddleboards, food, drinks, luggage. We found only one cart with a wobbly wheel. It was pretty awful. One of us had to stay with the vehicles while the other group tag-teamed loading the boat. It was hot and dark outside. Bring a flashlight and whatever hand carts you have available from home. If you don’t need them, just leave them in the car. But it’s worth bringing them in case Calville’s carts are all taken. When we de-boarded, there were hundreds of carts available. We got our gear to the vehicles in one trip.
Overall it was so much fun and very relaxing. We’ll definitely do it again at Callville Bay Marina.

Comment: Had a great time visiting Lake Mead! The parking lot is a ways up from the dock and the walk can be quite strenuous if it weren’t for the amazing gentlemen riding up and down in golf carts offering everyone rides to and from the parking lot and the dock! Thank you to those amazing men driving throughout the day in the heat, we appreciate it!

Comment: August 2017, # of us rented a fishing boat to enjoy the day on the lake. Great staff, blue skies, 100 deg, smooth water. Best $400 for a day trip spent.
