We had a great day on the bay, at Shell Island, and with a stop at Uncle Earnies for lunch. The rental staff was friendly and efficient. Decent music system (Bluetooth) on the boat. Would rent from this outfit again! Highly recommended!!

We really enjoyed the pontoon and services of Ohana Water Adventures. The staff was accommodating, the equipment was in perfect working order and the location/grounds of the company were orderly and well-maintained.
I would highly recommend this service with Ohana Water Adventures and would repeat my business with them.

Sandy was Very friendly and organized. Quick check in , boat was clean and location is close to all the hot spots. Chase was awesome. He explained everything and offered up some locations we might like to visit while out for the day and he was waiting at the dock when we returned. Highly Recommend ! You won’t be disappointed.

Great experience! Everyone was very nice from the CheckIn kiosk to the boat attendent (Chase). 60 HP was plenty to get you where you need to go. Boat was clean and in good shape. Download the Argo Boat navigation app to use while underway and bring an extra phone battery pack.

Saw several dolphins right in the bay, beware of the wind conditions, easy to do but helps with boating experience
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We're glad you were able to spot several dolphins out in the bay! That's the best! 🐬 And great point about wind conditions; They can definitely make a difference out there. Our crew is always keeping a close eye on the weather as well to help avoid anything unsafe and make sure everyone has a smooth, enjoyable trip. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to see you again soon! ♥️
