Brent helped make my birthday really special! I got answers every time I called the office during the lead-up to my rental. On the day of my rental, the boat was in the right location, on-time, with all my requested add-ons. All my guests had a blast, and I definitely plan on renting again in the future!

Brent was amazing! Rented a boat for my birthday, and I have never had a better birthday! So much fun and made my birthday fantastic! He even called his boss and asked where he could stop along the lake so my family members could use a restroom! Amazing and all my guests had so much fun! I will definitely recommend to everyone and I am 100% doing it again next year! Also we did not have a Bluetooth speaker, the boat had an excellent one!

My friends and I visited Madison for my bachelorette party and wanted to take a boat out during one of the days. We booked months in advance with another boat charter company, who then emailed us less than 24 hours prior to our rental that they were likely to cancel our trip due to high winds (it wasn’t windy). Even though they stated that they were like to cancel on us, their policy was still that we were not allowed to get our deposit back and look for other rental options without losing our $. Still, I called a couple places and got to speak with Tony at Badger Pontoons. He was so empathetic toward our situation and shared they would be happy to arrange a boat and captain for us, if they other company canceled on us. When this other company took their sweet time to finally cancel on us at 9am the morning of the outing, I texted Tony, and he was so responsive and an overall gem to work with. He also captained our boat and made the day so fun and seamless. I can’t say enough great things about Badger Pontoon, their customer service, or our rental experience. 15/10 would recommend.

I can not say enough fantastic things about working with Tony. We had booked a boat rental for my best friend's bachelorette party with a different company months in advance. The day before we were supposed to go, we received communication from the other company that they would be canceling our rental due to it being "too windy." Immediately, we started calling around for other options as many of us came from out of state to celebrate our friend. Tony responded to us immediately and worked hard with us to find a way to still get out on the water. He was able to get all 9 of us in a boat that he captained himself the next day. He was friendly, outgoing, and thoughtful. The boat we ended up having was larger than what a group of our size would have (it was the only boat he had available) and instead charged us based off the size we would have been on not making us pay the additional amount. We had originally had a lily pad with the previous company booked that canceled on us and Tony talked with other captains out on the water and find us a lily pad to use! It ended up being a perfect day on the water (with very minimal wind). Don't make the same mistake I did booking with someone else - book with Badger Pontoon Charters first to avoid all the chaos. Tony will ensure you have the best possible time when visiting Madison!

We had friends from both Minneapolis and Chicago in the city for a bachelorette party and found Badger Pontoons online. The boat was beautiful and Captain Tony was great! We really appreciate how Tony kept the energy up and took great care of us. Highly recommend if you don’t have your own boat and need a good summer activity.
