I can't say enough great things about Trevor! Right from the start when I was looking for quotes, Trevor messaged me back and was super inviting. We went on the boat for my sister's bachlorette party and we had the best time! The price was very reasonable and the boat easily accommodated all 8 of us. Definitely recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed my boat rental experience. Trevor's boat was the cheapest we could find for the size and was the highlight of my travel experience. Our captain called me the day of to review our meeting plans. Even before then, Trevor responded quickly to any questions I had. We fit 7 people on the boat comfortably (8 may have been a bit snug). The sound system was great and the captain brought floaties for us to use. We did the sat night fireworks cruise and he moved closer for us to get a good spot. I wouldn't change a thing about our experience and would highly recommend Trevor and our captain Paul to friends or for future needs.
