    Clearwater Beach Private Boat Tours with Captain

    Captain Dave showed up early , was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. His boat was immaculate . He took us to two very popular boating spots and we loved both of them. I highly recommend his services!

    Avalon 25ft Pontoon Boat Rental in Gulfport, Florida

    We had a great time on the water and the boat was operating as expected. The full bimini provided excellent shade for all the passengers from the hot sun. We would definitely rent this again! Chace was very responsive to our questions and had someone there at the marina right at the designated times for both departure and arrival.

    Such a great experience with Adrian. He knew the waters well, was a lot of fun, and was so easy to communicate with. I’d highly recommend him and his price that included his captain fee and gas was a great deal.
