Family fun cruising around the Bay! 12 ppl boat photo Family fun cruising around the Bay! 12 ppl
Great people to rent a pontoon boat from. The boat was only a couple years old and in relatively great condition. Did a 4 hour rental and had time to go explore Crab Island, the Bay, and the five islands to the West. Had a perfect cruise and enjoyed spotting a mama dolphin with her baby just north of Crab Island. The boat handles very easily and the briefing and checkout were thorough. Only slight issue was inability to get the Bluetooth to connect. Next time, I'd check prior to departure.

The SunTracker boat I rented performed well and was great for our crew. There was also a large floating mat and paddle board provided that provided some additional enjoyment. Carlos, who greeted us, checked us in, and went over things about the boat was friendly, informative, and nice to work with.

Charter Fishing / Crab Island - Captain Included!  boat photo Charter Fishing / Crab Island - Captain Included!
We had a great trip with Kyle . We are a German family of 4, with 2 kids (8 and 13 years old). The boat was great, enough space to hang out. The boat was very well maintained. Kyle’s fishing experience was incredibly helpful, especially for our son, who is so interested in fishing. Kyle showed us great spots and explained a lot to us. The day was perfect 👌 The communication was great, he always responded very quickly. We definitely recommend a boat trip with Kyle
