Dirty Duck Boat Rentals Osage Beach, Mo

Charles Festejo

Went on slow day and they seemed reluctant to help. As we stood outside their booth, they didn't greet us and waited to help us only open when we knocked on their window. Not very friendly for a place that's supposed to be entertaining for tourists. Maybe there's a bias cause we're from out of town/state. Avoid and use the better ones located on Osage Beach area.

Had a great boating experience with the family. I would definitely recommend dirty duck for a budget friendly boating experience. The place is called "dirty duck", so that should help set some expectations. We rented a 90hp tritoon, which was 19 years old, had some tears in the seats, a few wear spots on the carpets, but overall the boat functioned fine. The life jackets are older and worn, but they work. The radio worked, but we couldn't get hooked up to the bluetooth. We rented in the offseason in late September and we got a full day tritoon for about half the price many other places were quoting. We didn't want or need a brand new boat, and wanted to spend as little money as possible and dirty duck fulfilled those requirements. Some other helpful information that I couldn't find on their website: 90hp tritoon maxed out at 14 mph on the water with 4 adults and 6 children. This was fine for us, we weren't passing anyone on the lake, but I also didn't feel like we were going to get run over. Not sure how it would do pulling a tube, you might need a little more juice. The anchor is only 25' long which means you have to be in fairly shallow water (less than 10') to actually drop the anchor and have it hold. The area you are required to stay in is somewhere between mile marker 10 and 26, and then a few miles south of the rental place. This may change, but I couldn't find it on the website. They gave us a map with the limits of where you could go when we go there. You get a discount on the rental if you pay in cash. You then just need a credit card for the damage deposit. Overall I felt like they met my expectations based on the budget we had.

Worst rental experience in 10 years at Lake of the Ozarks. Do not rent from here. We rented a jet ski for 4 hours. Upon arriving they said we could only rent it for 2 hours due to weather but that we could have our other 2 hours at a time of our choosing and that our 500 dollar deposit We let them know at that time we would just do the other 2 hours the following day and that it was no problem. Then upon booking it for the next day they told us we had to pay another 500 dollar deposit!!!! After we were told it was no problem. They absolutely lied to us and tried ripping us off and ruining the kids day of jet ski. TERRIBLE PLACE. I'm response to Dirty Ducks reply below........ Had nothing to do with damage. We rented for 4 hours from you. Then we were told we had to return it in 2 hours due to weather. We ask if we could get our other 2 hours the following day due to the fact we were leaving . At which time you told us that we would have to pay another 500 dollar deposit. ( When you refund the 500 it takes 2 business days to reach a person's bank account). So yes, we would of had to give you 1000 dollars in 1 day for our 4 hour rental. THERE WAS NO CONFUSION. BUT ITS NICE TO SEE THAT YOU BLAME YOUR CUSTOMERS FOR YOUR POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES AND SHADY ACTIONS LIKE WE SAID, WE HOPE EVERYONE AVOIDS YOUR BUSINESS SO THEIR CHILDREN DONT EXPERIENCE THE DISAPPOINTMENT THAT OUR CHILDREN HAD TO EXPERIENCE!

Unfortunately our boat was in poor condition with the speakers hanging out and not working. Once we removed the cobwebs from the boat, we spent an hour with one of the mechanics trying to get it fixed to no avail. The seats were torn and the boat was a sorry sight. Even more unfortunate was Marty's response to our dilemma which was neither polite nor thoughtful. I am thankful for other boat operators being flexible and letting us book through them the next day with a seamless transition.
