!!!!!! Island Hopper...Fast 600hp..Comfortable..Family Friendly..Luxury Experience!!!!!!
This was fantastic and the highlight of our trip. Ryan and Shannon were great and the boat was fantastic. We had 6 adults and 5 kids. At no point did we feel like we were stepping on each other or did we feel bored. Ryan had a great itinerary for sights to see and Shannon took care of everything else (including generally caring and engaging with the kids.) we could not be more happy and will be contacting them the next time we head that way. Thank you for a job well done and a great time.

Captain Jorge is the Captain to have. He’s very knowledgeable of the maritime rules which makes a very safe trip. He also goes above and beyond to make sure we were having a good time.

2022 Lexington 24' Luxury Pontoon in Sarasota
Laszlo was great to rent from! Everything was exactly as shown in the listing. He was on time for pick up and return and super friendly as he walked us through the boat. The boat was perfect for our afternoon on the water and hanging out at Jewfish Key. Would definitely rent from him again!
