What Our Customers Say

The owner of this business is an outstanding, kind, and generous person. We were out boating when we ran into some real trouble… my husband was trying to get a ride and the owner was so helpful and took him. Then would not take a dime for doing it. He told us to come there anytime and use the dock to put in our boat — he does not charge for using it, just asks that you please support his business. It is very easy to support a man running a business who is this kind.

Great variety of local themed apparel! Really quality pieces. And all the miscellaneous supplies you could need.

We had another great experience with Butch's! Bud quickly checked us in and was helpful in getting all of our equipment and our boat launched. Baker and other staff helped us check out seamlessly. We had a great time on the lake and will definitely be back!

Super friendly people and great access to Torch Lake. You can rent kayaks, jet skis, or boats and be on the lake in minutes. Free parking and excellent service. Four hours of tandem kayaking is $60. Two hours of jet skiing is $180. We will definitely be back.

Wow. What a great group of people. Welcoming, helpful, and friendly — we had great conversations with them while they pumped our gas, and they were so helpful to us as novice boat operators. Go to Butch's and get treated well by lovely people who care about your experience!

Butch's is awesome. Reasonable pricing, good availability, good service. We had a great time!

Super hospitable service at a great location on the lake. Boats were super nice and it made for a perfect day on the lake.

We had such a great day on the lake! The pontoon we rented was beautiful and felt so luxurious, making the whole experience even better. The attached shop had everything we needed to stay comfortable for our day trip out to the sandbar.

We rented a pontoon boat for a group of six to enjoy the sandbar at Torch Lake. It was a great experience! I highly recommend the facility for all of your Torch Lake experience needs.

We rented the deck boat for the first week, the sea-ray the second week, and multiple jet skis. I just wanted to thank you for your great hospitality and service — born-and-raised locals who clearly love this place. We'll be back!

Outstanding experience from start to finish. We rented the deck speedboat for a tubing day with my wife and two teenage kids and it couldn't have gone better. Bud was fantastic to work with — friendly, flexible, and professional.

An easy 5 stars. The rental experience was price friendly and the staff experience even more so. Everyone is knowledgeable, accommodating and super helpful. We're Florida people who visit every summer, and these guys are the BEST in this area. My highest recommendation — thank you for a flawless boat day!
