A great day on the lake with yhws..
Review by ckan on 8/21/11 5:50 PM
We were recommended to yhws by the owner of the property we rented on Lake Blue Ridge. We did a 24 hr rental of a 19 ft skiboat with skis and tubes which was well priced. All in excellent condition and the timing of delivery was great. We had a fabulous time in the lake and will definitely use yhws again.
Very impressed..
Review by Rick on 8/16/11 8:44 AM
We rented a boat and tube for four hours. Halfway into the afternoon, it started pouring. We made our way back to the marina, where Brandon said we could get a refund for the remaining two hours or take the boat out again the next day! We chose the latter. That kind of flexibility and great service is one reason I highly recommend YH Water Sports.
Great Service, Fun Times..
Review by Summer Fun on 8/12/11 4:05 PM
Our family spends time in the summers in Hiawassee and on Lake Chatuge. We rent from YHWS every year, and they never dissapoint! This year, Brandon made sure we had a great time. We had a jetski and a 6 passenger boat and spent geat quality-time with our kids. Many thanks!!
Boat rental at Lake Blue Ridge..
Review by GAvacay on 8/8/11 9:23 AM
We rented a ski boat for 2 days at Lake Blue Ridge. We called the day prior to confirm time and place to meet since our boat was being delivered. They were 30 minutes late arriving and the boat was out of gas. We were not impressed. After a run to the gas station we were finally able to use the boat. We had rented some equipment which the company didn't charge us for since they were late and had no gas, which seemed to be an ok deal. The boat was great. I think the overall price was a little high, but it was worth it. How could you spend a week on a beautiful lake and not have a ski boat. Our kids learned how to water ski and wake board. It was an overall good experiance.
Awesome..

Still the greatest..
Review by Poppa Gwin on 7/17/11 11:15 AM
First met the fine folks from Young Harris Water Sports 5 years ago ('06) when it was a truck and trailer operation only. Great jet skis and great service then and even better this year ('11)... even more convenient with the fixed location at The Ridges. This year we rented the honda for a day, it was so much fun we went back on Friday and got two skis for 24 hours each. Excellent machines and I can't say enough about the staff, they were the greatest.
Young Harris Watersports is Awesome..
Review by Lake Lover on 7/15/11 8:55 AM
My family and I recently rented a fantastic boat from Young Harris Watersports. The guy who was working that day was very thorough in his explanation of the boat and what to do in case of emergency. He even pointed out on the courtesy map of the lake a few choice spots to drop anchor and swim. He was so friendly and seemed like he really enjoyed his job. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy! Unfortunately, 2 hours in to our 4 hour rental, a thunderstorm developed, so we had to return the boat early. We were given only a $50.00 credit which was a disappointing. We ended up paying pretty close to the full 4 hour rate for just 2 hours. This is why I didn't rate the experience with 5 stars.
Lake Chatuge June Vacation..
Review by Phil on 7/10/11 12:26 PM
I rented a jetski from Young Harris for 24 hours and we had a blast. 55 mph on the water was the most fun I've had in a long time. Very proffesional staff. All of the equipment looked brand new. Will rent again next year when we return.

The team was outstanding. Max and Brandon delivered great service. The ease of reserving and using YHWsports is highly recommended. The 19 boat ran well and we enjoyed it.
Boating on Chatuge..
Review by Ga vacation on 7/2/11 10:41 AM
YH Watersports was super easy to make reservations with, extremely flexible and super accomodating when bad weather ruined our afternoon on the lake. Double tube was too small and the no alcohol on boat was an unwelcome surprise. Otherwise, two thumbs up for customer service. I would definitely use them again.

Young Harris Water Sports delivered the fun !!! Great job guys. The family had a wonderful day on the lake. The boat was perfect. See you next year. Thanks.
Excellent service..
Review by Dan and Amy on 8/23/10 11:03 AM
Lance and the team were very helpful and easy to work with. The Ski Brendella was in fine shape, and we look forward to taking advantage again next Summer.
Happy Customer..
Review by CC on 8/23/10 6:12 AM
We rented 2 Honda jet skis from YHWS. It could not have been easier and the folks were suburb to deal with every step of the way. The equipment was clean and in great working condition. I would use them again anytime.
Boating on Burton..
Review by Mike & Kim on 8/15/10 2:35 PM
We rented the Doral 22 foot from Young Harris on Lake Burton for the first week of August 2010. They delivered it on time, it performed great and we had an outstanding time. We used it for tubing, wakeboard, skiing and just cruising... it was a great all around boat. The folks at YHWS are easy to work with as we changed timing of our reservations several times and the equipment was great. We would highly recommend them in the future and hope to be back to Lake Burton next year.
Great Fun..
Review by Chris on 7/30/10 8:56 AM
We spent the day on the lake with our family of 5. The Malibu was fantastic-fit all of us(2 adults,3 teenagers) easily. The lake was beautiful, the staff was great and the whole experience was wonderful. Best part...it cured my wife of "boat fever". She agreed that it was much better to call YHWS than buy a $60k boat...yeah!!
Awesome Time..
Review by Florida Escape on 7/29/10 10:36 AM
While visiting from Florida we found YHWS to rent a boat and tube. Our expectations were surpassed. The boat was in excellent condition and way more than what we're use to driving. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The facilities were convenient and in good shape. I would highly recommend this business to anyone needing boating activities! We'll be back.
Ski Brendella..
Review by DanL on 7/18/10 7:33 AM
We rented the Brendella for a full day on 7/10. The boat was in excellent condition and exactly what you need for a day of fun skiing. The staff were very good. They were very friendly and helpful. The marina was extremely nice and convenient. We will definately rent from YHWS the next time we need a boat.
Great day!..
Review by JohnM on 7/15/10 5:55 AM
Booked the Doral ski boat a few months in advance and everything was as ordered with the boat in excellent condition. Guys managing the marina where we rented the boat were very friendly and took the extra time to take me thru the mechanics of the boat as well as all safety precautions. My family and I will definitely be back to the lake and will rent from YH Sports, good group.
Consistantly Great..
Review by Smith Family on 7/13/10 6:44 AM
We have rented ski boats from YHWS on four different occassions over the last couple of years. We have rented three different boats, and on each occassion, they were clean and maintained well. However, what stands out most about the experience is the staff. Everyone we have had contact with was friendly and knowledgeable. We wrestle with buying a boat ourselves, but they make it too easy to enjoy the day without owning the boat.
Exemplary customer service..
Review by JC on 7/12/10 9:40 AM
My wife and I rented a Maxim for a few hours over the 4th of July weekend. From the initial reservation and throughout, I found Young Harris Water Sports to demonstrate exemplary customer service. They were very thorough and polite - which I cannot say for a competitor on Lake Blue Ridge.

Review by Jean on 7/8/10 9:14 AM
We rented for 4 hours a pontoon boat and ski boat with double tube to pull and had an absolute blast with adults and children. The equipment was in excellent shape and the folks at Young Harris Water Sports were extremely helpful and friendly. It was a great, fun way to enjoy beautiful lake Chatuge. Thank you!
Awesome Experience..
Review by Paul T on 6/29/10 7:44 AM
My brother & I rented (2) Honda jet ski's on 6/21/10 for (4) hours. Previously, I had only ridden Yamaha Wavereunners. Charlie told me if I liked the Waverunner, I would love the Honda........he was right on. Everyone @ Young Harris Water Sports from top to bottom was knowledgable and helpful. It was a great time & memory we'll never forget. Rest assured that if I am ever in that area again my clear choice would be Young Harris Sports. Thanks guys.
We had fun...
Review by JMoore on 6/29/10 7:02 AM
We had a good time with a two hour rental of a Sea Doo jet ski on 6/21/10 from YHWS on Lake Chatuge. The machine was very nice, 2007, and we had no trouble with it. The staff were cordial, friendly, and informative. The prices seemed high-- $160 total for 2 hours plus $20 fuel, but not outrageous-- longer rentals (4-8 hours) are a better value. We would do this again.
