I was hesitant to rent from Skylite after reading all of the negative reviews here, but I did end up renting from Skylite and had a good experience with them. I rented a boat for 5 days and camped all over Lake Powell. Everything important on the boat was in great repair. In terms of all of the negativity here,... More

I have been renting from Skylite for the past 10 years. They have been nothing but amazing. The one time we had an issue with a boat which happened early in the day, they gladly gave us another day. The checkout is quick and efficient; as well as the check in... which allows for more time on the water or... More

Went on a week long trip to lake Powell with my family and rented a boat from Skylite. When we arrived our paperwork was in order and checkout was done quickly. The second day out our boat had some trouble; the serpentine belt broke. We called the office, and they dispatched the lake patrol out to our location very quickly... More

We are glad you had a great time out on the lake and we definitely appreciate your patience. We know it is difficult when a boat has a problem and we have to send someone from a different company out to tow you in. We hope to see you again soon! More

Some friends and I rented a boat from Skylite earlier this year. The boat was old and the fuel gauge didn't work. When we had problems with the boat the representatives from the company acted like it was our fault. Eventually they charged us over $400 for services we never approved. I would never deal with this company again. At... More

From the time the reservation for this group was made to the time the boat was returned, it was evident that this group was full of incompetent boaters. They were the ONLY customers to run of fuel not once but twice. They didn't pay any attention during checkout and struggled to get the boat off of the trailer because they... More

Rented a power boat from Skylite in early August 2012 for a week long vacation with family and friends on Lake Powell. The staff was very friendly and informative, they went over any questions I had in detail and addressed potential issues that I would never have thought to ask about. The boat we rented (one of the Bayliner 4,... More

Went to Powell with some friends who'd rented a boat from here. It was in terrible shape and none of the gauges worked except for rpm's. We found out the hard way that the gas gauge was broken. It said we had between a quarter and a half a tank left when we ran out of gas... So there we... More

We are sorry to hear of your experience at Lake Powell. It seems as though the issues here were mainly due to lack of comprehension on the customers part. When renting a boat from us, we always go through the entire boat with the customer. One of the first things we explain is that we do not know exactly how... More

Had a bad experience with this boat rental, after several good ones. I love Lake Powell so much, that's it's hard to harbor any bad feelings reflecting back on it. The last time I rented at Skylite, I was so furious I even filed a complaint with the BBB. It all stemmed from not buying insurance and being billed for... More

We are sorry to hear of your bad rental experience. However, there are several conflicting issues that make us wonder if you have reviewed the correct company. 1. We have never offered insurance on our rentals because we have not been able to find an insurance company that will provide insurance to the rental customer. Beginning June 2012, we began... More

My brother and I have been traveling after each of my deployments to Afghanistan. We toured Lake Powell in Big Water Utah on our last trip. While there we rented from a local boat rental "Sklyite Boat Rental." The folks there were awesome, friendly and very informative on where to travel on the lake. We rented a 07-Reinell and had...

We recently rented a boat from Skylite Rentals for 3 days to use on Lake Powell. Contrary to the pictures on their website, the boat was very beat up and had problems with the engine. When we called Skylite regarding this, they told us this is just the way the boat is. For $300+ a day, I would expect a... More

We are sorry to hear of your disappointing experience with Skylite Rentals. We try our hardest to keep our boats in good condition but throughout the rental season, our boats collect a lot of fiberglass damage as well as tears in the upholstery. We do not have time to get all of the damages fixed during the season. Most of... More

My hubby and I wanted to spend 3 days on Lake Powell, exploring, and needed a power boat, preferably one we could sleep on (cuddy cabin). I checked the main marinas on the lake and found smaller power boats (no onboard sleeping), renting for $400/day. 9 miles past Wahweap Marina is Skylite Boat Rentals, a small (28 boat) operation owned...
