   2021 Hurricane 192 RL Deck Boat (10 Person Capacity!)

   We had an absolutely incredible experience renting over the 4th of July week, and I can't say enough good things about the service we received! From the moment we booked, the owner was attentive, professional, and genuinely committed to making sure our time on the water was both safe and unforgettable. The boat itself was spotless—immaculately clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped for a relaxing and fun day out. You could tell this wasn't just a rental—it was a boat that was truly cared for. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional level of service. The owner went above and beyond to keep us informed about potential weather changes, especially given the unpredictability around the holiday weekend. We got timely updates, honest recommendations, and even alternative suggestions to make sure our plans went smoothly despite any looming storms. It’s rare to find that kind of thoughtful communication these days, and it made all the difference in our trip. Because of that, we felt confident and cared for the entire time. If you're looking for a top-notch boat rental with someone who truly prioritizes your experience, safety, and enjoyment—this is the one to book. We’ll absolutely be coming back next year!

   Great boat - very clean and exactly as promised. Ben communicated w us the whole way thru the process and gave us clear instructions as well as advice to make our day on the water the best it could be. He’s also a marine engineer - can’t ask for better experience than that! Will rent again with Ben for sure.

Ben was an outstanding host—super friendly, communicative, and made the whole process really easy from start to finish. He gave us helpful tips before we headed out and made sure we were set up for a safe and fun trip. Highly recommend renting from Ben if you’re looking for a smooth, enjoyable boating experience!

   Century 22' Clearwater Beach FL - Cruises, tours, sunsets, sandbars and more!

   We had an absolutely amazing trip! Our captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and made safety a top priority throughout the ride. He went above and beyond—spending extra time to help us spot dolphins (which we did!), and he was full of interesting facts about the area. The whole experience was smooth, fun, and so memorable. We truly appreciated his efforts and would highly recommend booking a trip like this to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure on the water.

   We had a great experience with Ben. He maintains his boat with great detail and extensive knowledge of his craft, and we had great confidence in the safety and reliability of the boat. Ben made takeoff and landing an easy experience. The boat itself is spacious, easy to operate, stable, and nicely powered. The Garmin makes navigation easy. We loved having bow and stern ladders for the kids to swim! Highly recommend Ben and his boat!
