    THE BEST PARTY BOAT YOU'VE EVER BEEN ON - 27ft Catamaran Deck Boat. Comfy and Spacious custom Bayliner Rendezvous

    We had an amazing day out on the water. Captain Frank took care of everything we wanted. Had a MASSIVE cooler setup for us which was perfect. The boat itself is a great size and perfect for a large group. We got a great spot at the sandbar and had an awesome day on the water. Captain Frank even got some Dolphins to come play in our wake on the way out which was a real treat for the whole group to see and put on video. We've been doing a boat trip this same weekend for years and Frank's boat worked out by far the best, looking forward to booking again.

    2022 18’ Suntracker Pontoon Rental in Tampa, Florida

    Very quick replies to inquiries and smooth coordination of planning our rental. Really nice boat - newer, clean, and runs well. We arrived 15 minutes before our meeting time, and DJ already had the boat in the water and ready to go. He had a cooler with ice and some waters for us, and the boat was all gassed up. Reasonable price and much easier than trailering our boat to the coast from inland. Had a nice day on the river and went around Davis and Harbor Islands some. Great experience!
