We had an amazing day on the water. The boat ran beautifully with no problems. We can't wait to come back to the Keys and rent from James again. The whole process was easy from start to finish. Thank you James we had a blast on your boat! See you soon!!

We had a great time and though fish didn't cooperate, it was still a lot of fun. Ready to go and right on time. James was great to work with and had an enjoyable conversation. Will use again for any trips to his area;

Everything was great. Boat was as described and able to handle off shore seas. Great location too! Minutes to the ocean. Great overall experience.

My wife and I spend the day snorkeling and exploring the area. We did not have any issues with the boat, everything worked great. We look forward to renting from James in the future!

Solid boat when conditions were choppy. Brand new Suzuki engine and brand new boat cushions for the wife. Good location and easy to deal with. Fuel nearby to top off at the end of the day. Will rent with them again.

What a GREAT trip. Boat ran great. A few things could be fixed to make it a lot better. Lots of screws missing. Door not working.
BUT
It did what a Boat is supposed to do. Ran 40 minutes down to Ocean Reef to pickup scuba, wife and kids. Boat ran great. Beautiful day with flat calm and light and variable winds. Engine did not skip a beat. Ran out to Carysfort and had a good dive.
Next day ran down to Christ Statue and Benbow wreck.
2 great dives and great time with the family.
1 challenge is there is not a lot of seating.
Just the Captains chair and the small bench in front of it.
That meant two people sitting in captain chair.
3 sitting in the front and 1 standing behind.
It was fine but there isn't a lot of shade nor seating but it was a really good trip.
Thanks and will rent again.
Get a few of those things fixed please. - Tarush

James was great. Communicated well and made the process easy. Great place to boat. A lot of activities very close by.
- MichaelMichael
The boat ran well. The low hour Suzuki outboards were a plus. A nice chart plotter was useful. James was flexible and very helpful. He was kind to provide snorkeling gear. We look forward to our next visit.

The Mako 23 was in great shape(super clean). Perfect boat for running out to the reef for some fishing. We will book again.

Great experience renting from James. boat ran great for the whole trip, and we had a blast. Took it out to Pennekamp, Molassess , and dove the Duane and the Bibb. The Mako is a great rig with plenty of room. Awesome time. I would definitely rent from him again if I'm in town.
- CharlesCharles
James was awesome to rent from! Extremely helpful and a joy to work with. Boat ran perfectly and was exactly as advertised.
I look forward to renting from him again in the future. - AlietteAliette
Jay was excellent. Very thorogh at explaining everything, the psperwork, boat gear etc. His home is lovely with parking & so was the 22 Mako. The house is on ocean side just 3/4 min from the open water with markers to help navigate. The boat was equipped well & docked right behind his home. I would have liked to have been able to ask some questions before actually renting it but i believe this is not something that boatsetter website allows you to do & has nothing to do with James. TY !!!!

James made our dream vacation. Come true! He recommended the restaurants, he recommended sandbars, he recommended the reefs, he even recommended Christ of the abyss! Not only did he recommend, but he helped chart and plot courses and provided us with every piece of information we needed to have a seamless and successful two day adventure in the Florida Keys! Highly recommended is an understatement. Incredibly knowledgeable, incredibly courteous. We are incredibly grateful!
- PhilipPhilip

Great boat and great renter. Be prepared that one of the marinas for fuel is a pain. Also, there was a safety and navigation course we had to go over before taking the boat. It took about 30 mins.

- SaleciaSalecia
The worst boat rental experience I have had. Ever. We received the boat on empty, maggots crawling out of the cooler in the worst condition. We tried to make it a good day and pushed past only to get stuck in open water due to an oil leak that my boyfriend had to refill twice. The boat also had no anchor, a broken trim tag, maggots, no cushions to park up, no ice, no water, no cooler. And the owner with a response 3 weeks later - tried to give grace and wait but refuse to any longer.
- HaydenHayden
Great experience with the boat and the host. Good communication, everything was smooth.

James runs a tight ship, much appreciated, everything was great for 3 day rental!
- ChristinaChristina
Jay's boat was perfect for what we needed. We wanted to snorkel off the coast of Key Largo with my parents and kids for the day. The boat was the perfect size for 7 people for snorkeling, and we hardly used any fuel. The boat was in good condition and had everything we needed including a dive flag. Jay gave us some local snorkeling sites to see, and they offered a wide variety of marine life, sea turtles, fish and sharks
Will definitely rent from him again. - JOSEPHJOSEPH
James was great. Super nice and beyond professional. I'm an experienced Great Lakes USCG OUPV Charter Capt that just wanted to take my wife out and fish the reefs and the mangroves in Pennekamp and cruise/explore. What a blast! Boats were well maintained, clean and have new Suzuki 4-strokes. Perfect DIY solution for any fisherman.
