    Boat is pretty new and in excellent condition. Had the boat out eight hours for a beautiful day and had no problems. Meeting to launch and returning the boat was all easy and Francis was super nice and helpful. We will definitely rent again.

    Had the time of our lives for 4th of July. The boat was perfect for what we needed. Got to do some swimming, hung out on the lily pad, then topped it off by watching the firework show in the harbor. Highly recommend renting this boat! The owner was also very responsive to any questions we had.

    We had such a great time on the boat! It was spacious and easily fit our group of 12. We had no issues with this rental. Francis was extremely responsive and worked with our group to meet our needs and answer any questions. We’d highly recommend renting from him!

    Francis was great to book through. I'd highly recommend it. We had to change our booking at least 4 times due to poor weather and luck and Francis made it easy to reschedule and was great to work with. His pontoon boat is new and clean and well worth the price for the boat rental.

The boat itself was beautiful—very well maintained, spacious, and super clean, which made the ride even more enjoyable. What really stood out was how kind and accommodating the owner was. They went out of their way to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. Highly recommend this boat ride to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing time on the water!

    My recent boat rental experience was superb, largely thanks to Francis. From start to finish, Francis's assistance was exemplary. He was incredibly helpful, ensuring we were fully prepared and knowledgeable before hitting the water.

    The boat itself was impeccably clean and in excellent condition, a testament to his commitment and quality to make our day on the water great.

    We had such a great time on boat trip for my sisters bachelorette party of 8 girls! Even though the weather was a bit chilly, the experience was still so much fun and totally worth it. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the waterways and made us feel safe and taken care of the entire time. He was also very cordial and easygoing, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable outing!

    Francis has an awesome boat! My family and I played on the water mat for hours. He supplied an extra cooler for our drinks and snacks. It also had plenty of additional compartments for storage. Our group of 10 (7 adults and 3 children) had more than enough room to fully enjoy the experience. Thank you Francis!

    This is a one stop shop if you’re looking to rent a boat, either with a captain or without. We went without, but Francis (host) was great, the boat was nice, well kept up with, and ready to go when we arrived. Took the boat down to Ft. Sumter and anchored. Small group of guys. Great day. We had to come back early, and Francis was there as we got back to take care of everything.

    Great communication and response times by Francis! The boat was also immaculate. Only advice is to plan your drop off time to not coincide with traffic. We booked a 10-4 trip and it took a bit to get back to the beach.

    Our boat excursion was tremendous. The pontoon boat was spacious for a group of 10 and the raft was a great addition to have. Francis made everything easy with docking/trailering the boat. He also provided coolers filled with ice. 11/10 trip, I highly recommend.

    Exactly what you want out of a day on the water. Perfect boat in the upper trim levels of what is expected of a pontoon. Great sound system, cooler full of ice, modern electronics and navigation. Powerful motor able to move 11 full grown dudes up and down the rivers at 20+mph on a breezy day. Pick and drop off was seamless, the owner was waiting for us, ready to launch on the boat ramp and coordinated the pick up providing expert assistance and direction for return of the vessel. Thank you!
