The pontoon boat was nice but the sound system wasn’t working properly. Good thing we took a small JBL Bluetooth speaker. But boating down and around the island was really nice and relaxing. I would for sure doing it again.
Excellent service and the boat was clean. Best price around time. Have used them multiple times and will continue to use them
Very quick registration. Very friendly deckhand. Plenty of parking. Enjoyed ourselves. Would rent from them again.
Polite and friendly. Nice boats and driver seth was awesome still had time left so he drove us around to see even more places
Second time going and just like the first time everything was smooth and great service from the staff
This is a great day on the water with family! The staff were great at reviewing the boat and procedures as well as giving local highlights. We highly recommend this group, there are a lot out there, but this one stands out in service.
Overall experience was great. Thank you for providing a safe alternative for families/ friends to spend together beyond the usual tourist shop traps. If I had to give my two cents before launch of dock. Maybe a little more instruction on anchoring on crab island sand bar and re-docking boat upon trip completion. But overall, Josh did a great job & was very informative for first time boaters. Thank you thank you for a great boating experience.
It was a great family experience, I recommend them ❤️ I drove it myself and it is very easy to get the license 🪪, they are very respectful and attentive.
This was our first time but it was an easy and fun experience. My son in law was our "Captain"and he did a great job! We were nervous at first but once we got going it was smooth sailing. We spent a half day ( 4 hours) at Crab Island. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. My daughter and son in law caught a pretty big catfish. We will definitely do this again on our next visit. I highly recommend!
The process was quick and seamless, although we would like to have known about the $600 hold &/or additional $69 insurance in advance versus day of at check in. Everybody was very nice, the equipment was in great shape and we thoroughly enjoyed Crab Island and the surrounding smaller islands and beaches. We can't wait to return!!!
