Our son left his wallet in a cubby on the pontoon and they were so kind to find it for him and deliver it back to our cabin.

Review of Chartered Rental – Minnesota Location We rented two jet skis from the Minnesota location of Chartered Rental while staying on Swan Lake. Unfortunately, our experience left us feeling overcharged and misled. The advertised price for one jet ski was roughly $300 (including tax), which should have totaled around $600 for two. After additional charges and fees, however, the final bill came to approximately $1,400—nearly double what we expected to pay. When the jet skis were delivered, we asked about fuel and were told by the delivery staff that “it should last all day on a full tank.” In reality, we ran out of fuel within an hour. During the ride, one rider fell off, taking the key with them—only then did we discover the keys do not float. We spent about 30 minutes searching for it at the bottom of the lake. Returning the jet skis was also frustrating. We arrived to drop them off and waited for an hour, only to be told the staff were “busy.” Eventually, I transported them myself back to the property where we were staying—an Airbnb owned by the same person, Josh, who owns Chartered Rental. While driving home, I received a call informing me of additional charges. While I’m sure these fees were buried in the rental agreement, the situation felt deliberately designed to maximize profit—especially given that the business owner was also our Airbnb host. Our Airbnb experience wasn’t much better. One of the main advertised amenities—a game room—was locked and unavailable for our entire stay. The day after we left, Josh messaged our group asking for extra payment for trash services. Overall rating: 1/10. If you rent from this company, expect to pay about twice the advertised price, and be prepared for additional surprise charges.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
