Wonderful experience from start to finish. Great instructions and easy to navigate. We saw dolphins and manatees and enjoyed the sandbar. Everyone of all ages enjoyed it. We are already planning our next trip for Labor Day next year!
Aw, thank you so much and look forward to when you come back and see us again.
Rather than 2 hours boat trip with a family of 8 (young and old), we rented a pontoon boat for a half day. It was great. We saw dolphins, 2 manatees, and watched the pelicans diving for fish next to the boat. Moored so all could swim or fish. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a great time on the pontoon and got to enjoy dolphins, manatees, and the pelicans up close—it’s always special when nature puts on a show like that. We’re glad you were able to relax, swim, and fish together, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! —The Cape Crossing Boat Rentals Team
Beautiful place to go boating. Very easy to access marina and the pontoon boat. I am older now and can no longer board the boat we own but this one was easy for me to get on with very little help. Loved it!!!
Hi Nancy, Your review truly made our day! We're so happy the pontoon was easy to board and helped you get back on the water — that’s exactly why we love what we do. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’d love to have you cruise with us again anytime. — The Cape Crossing Boat Rentals Crew
Had friends visiting from Germany was a adventure they could not have experience in Germany Great fun on the sandbar
Thanks, William! We’re thrilled your friends from Germany got to enjoy a true Florida-style day on the water — nothing beats a sandbar hangout. Appreciate the 4 stars and hope to host your crew again for another unforgettable outing! — Your friends at Cape Crossing
Awesome trip! Dolphins, manatee, great service, boat, and weather. Will repeat a rental next time we are in Cocoa Beach
Rented from this place a couple of times and we plan on going back. Great boats in a perfect location! You can fill up your bait bucket at some of the small inlets along the channel and head out to the Banana River or up Stykes Creek or head over to the Indian River and relax on the sand bar. The staff is awesome as well!
We were so happy to find this boat company online. The boat was clean, gassed up, and ready to go on time. Cap’t Kenny was so helpful and resourceful. I’ve already recommended this company to family coming to Cocoa Beach this summer and we will definitely use this company again.
What a beautiful day on the water in Cocoa beach, the rental process was easy and staff was super friendly we even saw some dolphins what an amazing day
Recently went on my first rental pontoon boat from Cape Crossing. Had so much fun I ending up going a couple weeks later with family. What a great Florida thing to do. The men working were great and one of them was an angel as he went out of his way to help one of my handicapped passengers when we came back. Great and fun experience!!
The staff was very nice. They were flexible with us and too time to explain things. I really appreciated the garmin gps on the boat to help us stay out of shallow areas
