Making Waves Now Boat Club

Nice Groupon Promotion you had… noone could use it–
Thank you for purchasing the Groupon for Making Waves Boat Club. We are writing to inform you that Making Waves Boat Club has temporarily closed and may not reopen before your Groupon expires. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Update: I received an email on 8÷17÷2012 in my spam folder that they have closed their doors. From the dates of the other reviews, this was LONG over due.
I scheduled my reservation online, as requested by the instructions for today, ⁸⁄₁₈ at 2:00pm. I had made the reservation, received a confirmation receipt from the merchant.
I received no confirmation call from the merchant 24 hrs prior to the reservation date, as per their policy stated on their website. I tried to call this morning at 8:34am, only to get a message that the voice mailbox was full. I sent 2 text messages with no response. I also sent the below message from their «contact us» link
at 9:31am:
I have family in town and had planned to treat them to a day on the lake. When I did not receive a response by 10:00am from any of the avenues I tried, I made other plans.
I had given a similar groupon as a gift and they had issues reserving after several attempts over a 3 month period
It seems as though this company has gone out of business. I have seen other purchasers recount the same experience on Unilocal in the past week with no response from Making Waves. I would caution doing any further business with this company.

I had a very similar experience as Amy E. We had reservations and the kids were all excited but when I called for directions that morning when we were in the are (we had a hard time finding it), I was treated like I was stupid and was told I did not have reservations, despite me having them printed, screen shotted on my Iphone, and a confirmation number with my name, date, etc… I was then told to call someone else who never answered their phone (voicemail was full) or text messages. The kids were heartbroken so I ended up paying full price for a different place in the area that happened to have a boat available at the last minute due to a cancellation. So now what I was thinking was a good deal on a Groupon was very disappointing. I just went on line to try to reserve a boat (the Groupon I was unable to use that day expires on Sept 30^th). Well go figure — there are no reservations available between now, August 12^th and September 30^th. I will be calling Groupon for a refund.
