   Luxurious 47' Sea Ray Sun Yacht - Explore Lake Michigan the Ultimate Experience

   We had an amazing time out on the water thanks to boat owner Breanna and Captain Mike! From the moment we arrived, everything was handled professionally and with such a warm, welcoming attitude. Breanna made the booking process smooth and stress-free, and Captain Mike was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. What stood out the most was how safe we felt the entire time. Captain Mike explained all the safety protocols before we left the dock, and throughout the trip, he stayed attentive and in control. It allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience, knowing we were in great hands. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Whether you’re looking to cruise, swim, or just soak up the sun, this is the trip to book. We highly recommend Breanna and Captain Mike to anyone looking for a safe and unforgettable boating experience. We’ll definitely be back!

   Tiki Boat, Your Floating Tropical Paradise Awaits For You To Party & Cruise

   We had an amazing trip on the Tiki Toon for my husbands birthday! Paul offered us top tier hospitality! The Tiki Toon vibes made us feel like we were far away and yet we were nicely surprised to see Toledo from a different POV via the Maumee River! Saturday July 12th seemed like a gloomy day and rained right up to our reserved time slot...but by some miracle it all cleared up and the sun came out making it the perfect day! The river water was calm and peaceful...boaters on the Maumee are super friendly as they waved and admired the Tiki Toon! The pontoon itself was very nice: clean, comfortable, offers both shade and sun, and plenty of room to move about. Paul pays great attention to detail and showed us around and where everything for safety was located before we took off. Altough we are life long Toledoans, he gave us great tips on where to go along the river and what to avoid as well, which was very helpful! My husband and I highly recommend taking this trip and booking this rental! If you call the Greater Toledo Area home or even if you are planning a visit, this is the BEST view of our area you can find! We spotted a Bald Eagle along the river and saw the worlds largest mural up close. The bridges are fun to travel under and on our trip the river wasnt congested or too busy but plenty of boaters and jet skiers were enjoying the river as well! Thanks so much!!!

   Our family had a great time on the Maumee! Our pontoon boat rental from Paul was exactly what we were looking for. The boat was beautiful and. Paul was great communicating before our trip and was very helpful in walking us through the boats operations as well as what to look out for while on the river. We will definitely be repeat customers.

   20' Lund Bass Boat for 3 in Chicago, Illinois

   I honestly didn’t expect to walk away from this trip with a whole new hobby, but here I am—hooked for life. Guy has this way of making the entire experience feel effortless and exciting, whether you’re a total beginner or someone who’s been at it for years. From teaching the basics with real patience to creating an atmosphere that’s both laid-back and full of energy, he made it easy to fall in love with fishing. The way he explained the gear, read the water, and shared his stories made every moment out there on the water feel like something special. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that kind of passion is contagious. I went in thinking this was just a one-time adventure, but now I’m already planning my next trip—and buying my own gear. Can’t thank Guy enough for turning what was supposed to be a relaxing weekend into the start of a lifelong obsession. If you’ve ever been on the fence about trying fishing, let Guy be the reason you dive in—you won’t regret it.
