    Party Cruiser Rental in Sarasota, Florida

    Ian and Reese were very accommodating and made sure our group had a great day. They took us to a huge sandbar that felt like we had our own private island. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a day out on the water in Sarasota. This beats a regular beach day any day.

    Klaus was responsive with all my messages and arrived early to meet me. He made sure I was comfortable before leaving and was at the dock waiting when I came back. My family enjoyed our boat day and appreciate Klaus' professional and friendly personality.

    Pamela really knows how to make a special day happen. From her communication to her attention to detail, to the fact that she goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable - I cannot recommend booking with Pamela enough! We were lucky enough to have Captain Mitch and John with us for the day and would highly recommend both of them. Professional and FUN. Thank you for the perfect day!

    We booked this for our family trip & we couldnt have had a better experience. The service was outstanding. Ian and Reese were the best hosts. They made sure we were having a great time the whole trip. We loved how they were so interactive with the family & being the best tour guides. The next time we visit Sarasota we will definitely be booking with them again. If you want a day of fun, you will not be disappointed with these guys!!! 10/10 Thank you guys again for such a memorable experience!

    Ian and Reese were a great team and the perfect blend of professionalism and fun. From the very beginning Ian was responsive to my inquiry and any question I had about the booking. They were both on time and helped us load all of our belongings onto the boat. The boat comes with a private bathroom and a lower deck so it’s really convenient. The trip was well planned stopping at two sand bars and going even a little farther to sight see. We saw a manatee on our trip. The water blanket was so fun to hang out on and soak up the sun and the speaker was loud with Bluetooth. They were both fun to talk to and hang out but also made our comfort and safety their first priority. I would recommend Ian and Reese to any outing whether it is family, birthday, or even something more business related.
