Rented a pontoon last minute for a half day. Our two kids (9 and 5) were having such a good time that we called and asked if we could extend the rental until closing time. They said absolutely and we added a tube to it. Quick trip back to the marina to pick up the tube and we were set. I can’t say enough about the service. They treated us like family from the minute we walked in. They interacted with our kids like they were their own kids/grandkids. This was one of the best days we’ve ever had as a family. We will definitely be back next time we visit Bull Shoals!

Just stayed from Friday afternoon till Monday morning (Nov 2nd). I can say that the facilities are nice, well kept, and has a nice little store inside the marina office which sells shirts, drinks, ice, a few boating items such as life jackets, horns, fuel additives etc. The staff was exceptionally courteous and can say it was a pleasant experience. One of the biggest upsides was that the exterior grounds surrounding the marina were clean all docks had easy access and the marina is very close to a public launch less than .5 miles away located around the corner an part of the state park. This launch has a courtesy dock to tie up an allow for parking your boat.
I do have suggestions though that would help set it apart from others even more.
1.Work with the state park to get a launch area at the marina itself. Perhaps using the road that is currently flooded near the fuel dock. I know for us launching our boat and leaving a vehicle somewhere overnight you cant see or access from marina directly causes a little concern an also prevents you from being able to offload trailer and cruise the town during the day.
2. Upgrade to 30Amp hookups for at least a few of the slips for those like us that will be staying onboard over multiple days. 110 / 20amp works but truly limits what all can run at the same time. With a heater / air conditioner at 10-15A , lights 2-3, battery chargers 5-10A, you can run out of energy quickly an need to cut back certain items or switch between constantly.
3. Simple one - paint some parking stripes in the lot. I'm sure I parked wrong with my truck cause I had no idea where or how to position myself.
4. The drive through road on the left of the marina could be cleaned out to really assist in making an easy transition of items from the truck to boat.
**keep in mind these are all just suggestions an as I mentioned earlier. The location, ease of access, staff, an facilities were exceptional. Definitely give them a look I'm sure you will be happy you did.

I bought this jewel through the marina. They were so knowledgeable and helpful regarding the boat. Living nearly 3 hours away I was supposed to be returning the following weekend to pick it up. They had it ready for pick-up Wednesday afternoon since I’d called them that morning to let them know I could pick it up early. By the time I got there, it was pouring down rain and they went above and beyond and helped me get it loaded onto the trailer. I’m so grateful for their help!!!
