18' Bayliner Element for 9 People in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Tampa Markets available!

 ***Please keep in mind this is a peer to peer boat sharing platform. Boat owners like myself are providing a much needed solution because there are not enough rental boats on the market for people to enjoy the lifestyle we love, so we make our personal boats available using a bareboat charter agreement; if you not familiar with a bareboat charter agreement, please google and do your research prior to booking. You will need to sign our bareboat agreement prior to boarding : ) We do our best to deliver the boat of your choice as well as cater to your requested start time. However, during periods of high demand such as weekends and holidays, we may need to switch your boat type and time. If we were to switch your boat, it would be if equal value to your original request or upgraded for free. Your start time may fluctuate an hour or two as well but we always give you more time on the backend of your reservation to make up for lost time : )  Additionally,  we may need to move the meeting location; we will give plenty of notice. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding!   New protocols and procedures effective as of May 20, 2021... When you rent my boat, you will need to sign a bareboat charter agreement. Please google and understand your rights as a bareboat charter. For one, you have to pay for you own fuel by law. I will send a receipt and fuel will be deducted from your deposit. No worries, my boat is fuel friendly and should not exceed more than $40. Also, by law, if you would like to hire a captain, you will need to select your own captain; we will send you a contact list of certified captains who are familiar with our boats for you to choose from or you can hire through a website resource that we will provide once you book the boat : ) just so you know, you have the choose to hire anyone to operate the boat under bareboat law, even a friend or friend of a friend! I require everyone to have multiple years of experience to operate my boats so make sure to brush up on your boating lingo and laws, YOUTUBE is a great source for refresher videos : ) If you have already paid for a captain and booked your reservation, the captain portion will be refunded through the website. By law, you will need to directly pay for your captain after the charter has ended. Typically, captain fees are $50 per hour unless the captain has indicated differently prior to the day of your charter. If you had a great experience, please don’t forget to tip your captain like you would tip a waitress or waiter 15-20% of your bill. We hope you have a great day on the water!  By law, under a bareboat charter agreement, you have to hire and choose your captain directly.
