I was very excited about this excursion with my family, but was very disappointed in this experience. There was very poor communication on where to meet, and we ended up driving to the wrong place because the location changed last minute, but was never relayed to us. Once we got there, there was very poor instruction and the boat was old and beat up.

We saw some amazing wildlife out in the water with Carter. He was very knowledgeable about all the fish and other creatures in and around the water. My daughter and I had a lot of fun! Thanks again, would recommend

We had lovely weather. Beautiful sea and sky, a fun chance to control the vessel ourselves and be together as a family.

Mike was an amazing coach! He made us feel comfortable with the navigation and functions of the pontoon. We had a BLAST; we even were able to see several dolphins, which was another awesome highlight!

Most memorable parts were seeing dolphins up close and swimming off the boat. Mike was excellent explaining the boat and where to go.

Staff was very professional and helpful with instruction and tips on where to go. I didn’t have a ton of experience boating, but it was easy and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend more than 2 hours if you want to find a place to stop and play in the water with the kids for a while. Great overall experience!

All was going well until we stopped for a swim and the motor wouldn’t start. Had to wait for someone from the dock to arrive and whack the starter with a hammer.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
We are sorry about this experience on the pontoon boat rental. Unfortunately a down side of this industry is keeping motors going with as little issues as possible. We apologize it happened on your rental.

Pontoon boat ride. Helpful staff, very knowledgeable and friendly! The view was beautiful and the ride was very smooth.
Joel_R, Jun 2020
Our pontoon rental was from 4:00-6:00 pm. My husband was our "captain" and was given great instruction by the crew. He has very little experience driving a boat, and did a great job piloting us according to the staff's instruction. They were super helpful in giving us ideas on how to make the most of our time. We enjoyed music, fishing and brought our own snacks for the trip. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
