I've used Just 4 Fun for years, but lately they've apparently decided that less is more and don't care anymore about what kind of product they put out. I've used them at least once a year over the last 3 years. I used to use them more frequently than that way back in the 90s. On this last trip we rented one of the party barges. They are supposed to supply an ice chest, grill, and driver. One key word missing in front of all three is "working." The ice chest was broken. The grill was absolutely filthy, as if no one had cleaned it in 5 years. I asked the driver for a light for the grill. He said "Duh, it has one of those ignition switches on it." It was broken. Luckily he had a lighter. (I had asked for no smoking onboard, but the driver smoked anyway.)<br> I needed to mention that the counter staff, in person and on the phone, are some of the rudest people you can find. They couldn't care less about anyone walking through the door. They look at you like you're nothing but a bother to them.<br> After the trip, our group went to Carlos 'n' Charlie's right there at Emerald Point. The driver of the boat, Thomas, actually had the nerve to follow us in and have some buddy of his come over and start harassing us because we didn't tip him. He certainly didn't deserve it! I had been told before that tipping was not necessary, so since the first time I used them I never have. This guy, though, thought he deserved one and only after his obviously drunk friend bothered us for the third time, we tossed some money at him to make him go away. It was completely disgusting.<br> The owner, Pete, used to be a nice guy and had a good thing going, but it seems that now he's completely unavailable and doesn't dare lower himself to helping with customers. I encourage people to explore and use other watercraft rental places on the lake with bigger craft that cost the same or less.
Pros: It's on the lake
Cons: Service, conditions of equipment, service, staff, service

I am very disappointed with just for fun rentals. I had a party barge reserved for my birthday on 7/7 and the floods caused all watercraft to be not allowed on the lake, therefore, I had to cancel the barge, and since my guests were from all over the U.S., could not ask them to fly back in and reschedule for another date. We ended up having a very fun house party instead. I have now gone many times to get the money I had paid cash for the service that I never received. They obviously encourage their staff to lie, because they gave me the excuse "the accountant is out of town" more than once. They also seem to require ditzy girls whose names end with "ney" to give dirty looks to customers such as myself who ask for their money back. The owner Pete seems to think he is Tony Soprano and has little beefy guys that pretend to be his body guards and make it impossible to speak to him personally. To say I am disappointed would be an understatement. One should not EVER have to beg for their money back on a service that was never received due to circumstances beyond their control! I would say to anyone wanting to rent a boat, go to another marina, and to another company...you don't want to deal with these people!
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
