Bayliner Trophy T22 Center Console Rental in Holmes Beach, Florida
Meghan and Martin were excellent people to rent from. The boat was pristine and had everything you would need for a day on the water. I have rented boats from other places on the island and by far this rental provided the best value! Will definitely be renting from them again!

!!!!!! Island Hopper...Fast 600hp..Comfortable..Family Friendly..Luxury Experience!!!!!!
This was fantastic and the highlight of our trip. Ryan and Shannon were great and the boat was fantastic. We had 6 adults and 5 kids. At no point did we feel like we were stepping on each other or did we feel bored. Ryan had a great itinerary for sights to see and Shannon took care of everything else (including generally caring and engaging with the kids.) we could not be more happy and will be contacting them the next time we head that way. Thank you for a job well done and a great time.

The Yamaha jet boat was a blast to drive and perfect to cruise the river in Tampa and just as great out in the bay. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience on the water. Great family to rent from, great boat and terrific communication! Would recommend it again and again!!
