The check in was seamless. Staff was very efficient and patient with answering our questions. The boat itself was clean and no issues, whatsoever. This was our first time renting and will definitely do it again next year.

Super easy to check in...

Emma_P, Jul 2026
Super easy to check in and drive the boat. Beautiful intercostal area and ride around the island. Unfortunately we were late due to SoCal traffic and there wasn’t flexibility with keeping the boat out longer (despite there being several available) but I don’t fault them since we were the late. Would recommend!

The best birthday spent with family!!!

Windy condition is not good for this experience unless you know how to navigate well! Otherwise, this is a good experience.
