Boatgas Marine Refueling Service

We rent a slip for our boat at the Golden Mast on Okauchee Lake for the convenience of not having to launch it every time we go out on the lake. When we first bought it, we filled up the tank when we first put it in the water in May, but a couple of weeks into the season, as the gas gage started getting low, we wondered how we were going to fill the tank. We asked around, thinking that there was a some way to fill the tank with your boat still in the water… maybe a restaurant, or some other business on the lake. Unable to find anything, we resorted to carrying 5 gallon tanks from the car to the boat every week for the rest of the summer. What a pain!
At the beginning of the second season, we started talking to other people on the lake and they told us about Boatgas Marine Refueling Service. You could sign up to have them fill your boat’s gas tank at your dock or slip and charge the gas on your credit card. The fee was a surcharge per gallon. The people who live on the lake get a red flag that they can raise to signal they need a fill up when he makes his regular rounds on Mondays and Thursdays. Alternatively, if you only need a fill up a couple times a season, you can call and let him know to fill your tank on his next time out. He also serves other lakes in Waukesha County.
We’ve been using the service now for the last two years. He’s friendly, reliable and we love the convenience. Glad they finally have a website so people can find him.
