Yamaha VX Cruiser HO for rent in Galveston, Texas
From start to finish Dusan was on point with booking. Any questions? He instantly answered them, he made sure to fully explain where to go and where not to go for your personal safety not to mention he makes sure he runs through every thing down to a tee to make your experience the best there is and to make sure that you're safe while you enjoy one heck of a jet ski rental. 12/10 recommend him. He's prompt and always receptive, I've rented from many jet ski places before and I've NEVER had as good of service and communication as I did with Dusan.

Angelo was a great Captain. We told him that we wanted to go fishing and swimming and he knew where to go. He was very informative and friendly. I would definitely rent from Dusan, the owner and hope to have Angelo again. Thank you both for an awesome experience!!!

My friend and I had an amazing time on this rental!! We went on the sunset/dolphin sightseeing cruise and we couldn't have asked for a better experience everything was 10/10, we had the chance to see lots of dolphins and had many opportunities to take pictures during the sunset, our guide was very friendly and made sure we were well accommodated. We will definitely be booking with Brylee again!
