We had the best experience renting a pontoon boat for our group of 12 (6 adults and 6 kids)! From start to finish, everything was smooth and easy. The boat was clean, spacious, and super comfortable—even with all 12 of us on board, we had plenty of room to relax and enjoy the ride.
Crab Island was a fun spot to hang for a few hours, the kids had a blast swimming and playing on the lily pad. The adults loved the atmosphere and the convenience of anchoring right in the heart of the fun.
The staff was friendly, helpful, and made sure we were set up with everything we needed before heading out. It truly was a stress-free and unforgettable experience for the whole family.
Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to enjoy a perfect day on the water with a large group; this was a highlight of our trip, and we’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re in town.

Vallie_J, Jul 2026
It was wonderful. I don’t like the fact that we were not in the shallow blue water because it was a lot of people. I love that the boat guys were so helpful with our things.

Power Up is very reasonably priced. The people there very kind and patient. Tate was a great help getting our boat headed to crab island. We will be back next year. I highly recommend renting your pontoon from them.

We opted for the 2 o’clock rental, which was amazing. Give us plenty of time on the island. The boat was as good as expected. Crew was awesome.

Get a map of the water ways. Be prepared for the waterways to and from crab island to crowded. Crab island was so much fun
Lynn_B, Jun 2026
Was a cloudy day. Double red flags on beaches. This was perfect. Water was calmer and clearer. Had fun.

Jacob_R, Jun 2026
Great service! Streamline service, quick fast and easy! They do ask for a $50 or $200 refundable deposit for damages, I paid the $200 and it was returned instantly.
Gwendy_S, May 2026

Our day was perfect. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The process was easy and quick! Highly recommend!
Edward_M, Apr 2026
We had an amazing time! They were very informative and explained everything we needed to know. We rented the boat for 8 hours and it was more than enough, the 4 hour tour was 250 but for 100 dollars more we could take it for 4 hours more! Definitely worth every penny!

Very easy check, friendly staff & dock workers! Nice boat , had no issues at all. Can’t wait to return .
Tiffany_S, Apr 2026
The check in wait time was ridiculous. I never received an email to sign waivers or to inform myself about the security deposit. It was only one person with a laptop checking in people. Worst experience and will never book this location again.
Vy_N, Apr 2026
We took the boat to crab island and then a nearby beach. We had fun swimming in the ocean. Definitely recommend
Justine_H, Mar 2026
Power up watersports workers go above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. We had a pontoon that wasn't working quite right brought it back and we were in a different one within ten minutes. It was a great experience
Jessica_P, Sep 2025
We had a great time renting the 24ft boat. The staff were friendly and the rental process was really easy. I only took 1 star away because the boat looked nothing like the pics and the seats were ripped and torn.
STACIE_P, Sep 2025
24 ft pontoon was in poor condition, seats torn, steering needed maintenance- difficult to turn steering wheel. Staff was friendly.
Lakeesha_G, Sep 2025
They were great. Our reservation was at 9am. I was waiting for family members that didn't arrive till 9:30 am. They accomadated us and gave us 30 extra minutes on the boat rental. I would highly recommend this company. Nick was great.
Cindy_L, Aug 2025

Briar_C, Aug 2025
We had the absolute best experience with the boat and crab island. Our boat instructor was extremely knowledgeable gave us all the tips and tricks to watch for that made the trip very smooth with 3 very small children. Fun was had by all and the view was gorgeous!
Miriam_M, Jul 2025
We had a wonderful time. The bit was very spacious. What made the experience even better was the employees. They were extremely nice, informative and absolutely a joy to interact with.
Venita_P, Jul 2025
The boat charter dock crew we're very friendly and helpful with the operations of the boat. Unfortunately the office staff didn't inform us of the insurance for the boat until the day of departure. We had a party of 30 quest. We rented three pontoon boats. It was a fantastic day on crab Island.
Laurette_D, Jul 2025
Be prepared for no restrooms, but you will totally enjoy it. The water is clear, tons of people but all are friendly and you can buy food and other items
