We rented a pontoon boat for a few hours to go out into the Grand Traverse Bay and it was a great experience! The boat was clean and ran well. I didn't have much experience driving a boat, but the staff explained how to operate it in a easy and straightforward way. Super friendly staff. Will definitely rent from Blue Sky again!

My family and I had excellent weather for the three days we had a pontoon boat, so that was a huge plus. The boat was in pristine condition, and the entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would like to extend an extra thank you to one staff member, Ben, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to ensure our experience was first rate. We will most definitely be using Blue Sky Rentals next summer.

The staff is very friendly and helpful for everything. We rented 5 kayaks on the beach and had an amazing time with wonderful views in the shore . Traverse city is beautiful and next time we would like to rent the pantoons which looked so good. Thank you for the incredible experince!

We stayed for 4 days at Cherry Tree Inn and were very excited to see that they had Blue Sky Rentals on-site! My(9 year old) son immediately asked if we could try out the waverunners. After checking the rates and seeing it was $99 a hour (a $10 off coupon can be found at the Cherry Tree Inn front desk), we went for it! He was incredibly excited but when it came time to ride, he was very nervous and wanted his sister to go first. Her and I went out and I discovered I have an adrenaline infused maniac, like myself living in my household! BONUS!! We flew around the lake, went back to check on my son. Guy, the rental booth employee had taken the time to sit down and talk to my son about how he understands that he's nervous but he should at least try and if he doesn't like it, he can come back to shore. All the same stuff I was attempting to encourage but of it took Guy to convince him! It was so cool of him to take an interest and encourage him. Awesome Guy!! My son tried it, wasn't his thing. My daughter and I went back out and went back out the following day as well. So much fun and perfect weather for it!

Overall great experience. Friendly and knowledgeable workers to deal with. The pontoon was clean and in great condition. Perfect location for pontoon rentals… right on Grand Traverse Bay, with direct access to Lake Michigan. Perfect water… shallow sandbar areas with crystal clear water for swimming and also deep water areas good for fishing. Definitely recommend this place for all rentals.

The good:
Friendly staff, good equipment (for the most part) and accommodating schedule.
Enjoyed the Jet skis and the Pontoon boat.

The Bad:
We rented a "tube" which ended being defective and useless. $40 going to waste. I complained (politely) about it in the end but no refund and just a "we'll look into it". The tube was overinflated on one end and underinflated on the other side so was like riding on a balloon...no stability...useless.

Blue Sky: check periodically your equipment and discard the defective stuff -or fix it!!!

We rented a Pontoon Boat and paddle boards by the Cherry Tree Inn. What a great way to spend a few hours touring the bay. Peaceful and relaxing. A great escape from the craziness of COVID and Traverse City!!! Great to just enjoy the fresh air and natural beauty of Traverse City.
Highly recommend! Staff was super friendly and nice!!!

We've coming to this area for a number of years. We've rented kayaks, jet ski before. This time it was a pontoon boat. Had a blast on the bay. Highly recommend Blue Sky. Service is great! The personnel as well.

Would love to thank Blue Sky....we had a family reunion in Cadillac. Wife and I own two sleds but there would be 8 of us. Try to find a snowmobile rental in Cadillac! We found Blue Sky in Traverse City and booked 3 two ups for delivery to our door at Coyote Crossings. Right on schedule the 3 sleds arrived...nice Ski Doos in great shape and ready to sled. It was a wonderful trip although we did have a minor mishap to to an inexperienced sister in-law! Repairs were handled in a very reasonable manor. Some of the best customer service we have encountered....keep up the great work Blue Sky!

Great Photos! Thank you for the positive review. This winter wasn’t the best in terms of trail conditions and snow, but it sounds like it didn’t stop your family from enjoying the beauty of winter. We appreciate the comments about our sleds and service. Hopefully we will see you again next year.

Riding the wave runner around the beautiful bay was the highlight of our week. Water is so clean. Lots of pretty homes off in distance. Just a relaxing day. Staff is very accommodating, helpful and friendly.
