    Enjoy 2019 24 ft Yamaha AR240 Charter in Saint Pete Beach, Florida

    We came out as a group of 5 for a bachelorette party. More than half of us have had previous experience with renting boats. Captain Allen is our favorite and we will be renting from him soon. He was accomdating to what we wanted to do. Took us out to a sand bar we have never been and was an amazing location. His driving was smooth. Love his vibe and energy. 5/5 stars.

    Spacious Luxury Pontoon 24ft Sylvan 8522 LZ for rent in Clearwater Beach, Tarpon Springs, and Tampa (10% Weekday Discount!!)

    This boat was so much fun, and it was spacious for all 12 of us. Rory was there to greet us when we departed and arrived just to make sure we were good to go and had a lot of fun. We went to a sand bar and it was so much fun. Highly recommend!!

    New Yamaha 19' Jet Boat - Fish/Sight-See/Dolphin Watch - Water/Snacks/Ice Included!

    Wonderful, fully equipped power boat that has Bluetooth wireless capabilities to bring the party to the next level. Adrian was very flexible with our schedule and even brought the boat out an hour early for launch because we were concerned about bad weather later in the day. He really cares about his customers having a fun and safe experience while out on the water. I'll definitely be looking to rent his boat again in the future.

    Our friends and I had the BEST time with Captain Ryan. He was very friendly, hospitable, super knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with. He was very communicative throughout the booking and arrival process. We’re glad we took his recommendation to upgrade the boat and his destination suggestions were fantastic! We will definitely be booking with Ryan in the future.

    New Yamaha 19' Jet Boat - Fish/Sight-See/Dolphin Watch - Water/Snacks/Ice Included!

    Adrian was great! Boat was clean and fun' we got to see Dolphins and Manatees and the Gulf was so beautiful. We couldnt have asked for a better day to spend on the water. Adrian had a cooler with ice and fishing gear and everything we needed for the day. We'll be back to rent whenever we come to Fl.
