   Lake Powell Daily Rentals- 2022 Chaparral Surf

   We had a great experience. The boat we rented ended up having issues that made it unavailable. Merrilynne substituted a newer more expensive boat at no additional cost! That is integrity! we had a great day on Lake Powell. Before getting onto the lake, we were given a thorough walk-thru of the boat and, more importantly for me, some good guidance on risks in the lake as Lake Powell is very low. In the afternoon, a storm kicked up and I reached out to the renters who gave me some good advice. Next time I am in Powell, I'll be renting from Merrilynne again.

   25ft Large Pontoon Party Barge

   We had an amazing experience with this boat rental! From start to finish, everything was smooth, organized, and so much fun. Our captain, Blake, was outstanding. He made us feel safe the entire time, was professional, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great experience on the water. We truly had an unforgettable day and couldn't have asked for a better captain or overall experience. If you're thinking about booking, don't hesitate—you'll be in great hands.

   Your Perfect Day on the Water Starts Here 219FS Key West in SWFL Marco Island

   Our family was a mix of ages from 2 to 65+. Manny's well maintained Key West boat kept us happy for 10 days straight. We had ignorant issues along the way, and Manny would respond within 5 minutes every time we had a question. He was so kind as we would troubleshoot the issue; our favorite was when we hadn't attached the kill switch and the boat wouldn't start. What was such a silly blunder was met with kindness and charm. The value that is not advertised is all the activities you can do with up to 8 people, such as going dolphin watching which commercially available at about $69-$79 a person for 3 hours. While it might not be in everyone's comfort zone to pilot a boat, we enjoyed dolphins literally rubbing the boat and playing in our wake. I personally had a dolphin punch my phone with its nose. You don't get that on those tours. Fishing is $450-$1250 per 4 hours. We fished approximately 60-80 hours, we went when we wanted, where we wanted and how we wanted. We went shelling on several islands that can only be reached by having a boat. We have returned with the best shells of our lives, and came across gopher tortoises in the process. How amazing it was for my teenage son to find an endangered animal on his own before returning to our group to share their location. We highly suggest learning about throttle control because, once we did, this boat sipped fuel, allowing us to hit offshore reefs on a budget, running at about 25mph, costing $18-$30 round trip. Returning the boat was again a breeze. We appreciated it so much we really tried to give it a proper wash, and he laughed saying we did great but it always goes to the pressure washer before the next group. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Manny's equipment and services and hope this review helps you make the choice to go all in on the adventures a boat can provide. Because of this experience, my wife has fully approved my dream of getting our own, and that alone is priceless.

   Mike was a great captain. We felt very safe in his hands. Boat was clean. We didn't have the best weather but we will definitely be renting from Mike again soon.
