2017 Robertson and Caine Leopard 40 - Luxury Catamaran
Could not recommend this vessel and crew more. We rented it for the 4th of July and it was an unforgettable experience for our group. Despite some shaky weather we still had a blast. The boat is incredible and such a fair rate compared to other similar listings. Captain Dave and Joe were AWESOME. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Double Decker Party Boat with Water Slide in Madeira Beach!
Franks boat was spectacular and we had such an amazing time on our ride with Captain Justin. From start to finish, he made the entire experience fun, smooth, and super memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe and relaxed the whole time. The boat was clean, the views were stunning, and the vibes were just right. Highly recommend booking with him if you’re looking for a great time on the water!

2017 Robertson and Caine Leopard 40 - Luxury Catamaran
We can’t thank Captains Dave & Joe enough. From the communication with Bailey, to the overall experience.. everything went smooth and easy. I booked for my friend’s Bachelorette Party and they made our time worth while. I definitely recommend for any occasion. Both Captains Dave and Joes made sure we were equipped with everything and comfortable during our sailing. My favorite part was swimming and lounging on the floatable pools.. oh, and seeing dolphins! Overall 10/10 experience!

Double Decker Party Boat with Water Slide in Madeira Beach!
Great communication and easy booking with Frank. Captain Jordan and his mate John were great tour guides for our 3 hour rental. We had our two young children with us and everyone had a great time. The lilypad add-on was a hit with the kids while at the sandbar. Highly recommend booking with Frank!!

Captained 2024 Luxury Tritoon Includes Captain and Fuel
Hands down the best boat day you’ll have! John really makes an effort to ensure that you enjoy your time on his boat. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more. He had noodles, floats, a floating sunbathing pad, paddle board, and more to keep everyone happy and entertained. The best part??? He grilled lunch for us and had everything set up and ready for us when it was time to eat. He was very attentive throughout the whole trip, asking if we needed anything and if “everyone was good?” 100% recommend and will definitely book again with him if I’m ever in the area

John is an amazing captain who goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a great time. He was always prompt with his communication and made everything so easy. He made the trip so much fun..he played good music for us, grilled and brought out a bunch of fun water toys for us. His boat is in excellent condition and very spacious. I would highly recommend booking with him!!
