    HURRICANE 12 PASSENGER DECKBOAT W/BLUETOOTH BATHROOM DOLPHIN CRUISE ISLAND HOP

    I recently rented a hurricane deck boat from Chris and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Chris was incredibly helpful and even came out to assist me when I encountered a minor issue. Both Chris and his daughter were a pleasure to interact with, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend renting from Chris for a seamless and enjoyable boating adventure!

    The experience was excellent, Adrian was on time, explained how to use and navigate the boat properly. He gave us alternative routes we can take and he advised us how to get to the sandbars. Overall a very good memory to make, and keep.
