Excellent time to reconnect with extended family on San Diego Bay. Staff was very helpful & friendly. Offered great service. San Diego Bay is breezy -suggest even on a warm day to bring a windbreaker/sweatshirt. Came in July and wore sweatshirts for part of our ride. Water was warm & everyone jumped in. Took about 1 hour to reach Midway & another to return. Two hours was good for our schedule. One hour will be too short for this bay. Three hr good if anchoring, swimming, eating lunch.

Brand new and modern boat! We had a blast for my wife’s birthday. Made some priceless memories with friends! Easily fit 12 people comfortably

The boat was perfect for our family event, which consisted of young and old. Artiss was very responsive and helpful when booking was made. The dock staff from R&R were wonderful, and made the experience pretty memorable for the whole family.

Best experience we have ever had. We rent boats in every country we visit. All over the world. Been on every type of boat from every type of business but none like these guys. They made us feel comfortable from the start. Explained everything with such patience and care. We had a blast but it all felt much more special with all of them that were working for this company.

Whole experience was wonderful! This is my second boat trip with Boatsetter in San Diego and it was a peak life experience! The boat was well maintained and clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and even though our reservation was set for 2pm, due to our party being late, they still gave us the full three hours. We will definitely be using them in the future!
- JerryJerry
Wonderful experience, staff was quick to assist with any questions, check in was smooth.
The Only complaint would be, I was given a different boat (smaller one) than the one I had specifically selected.

What. A. Day! This was a last minute Father’s Day idea and it definitely did NOT disappoint! We booked it on Boatsetter and went down to the local marina to see R and R Surf. From the minute we parked, we were greeted and taken care of the by the AMAZING staff. From check in, to water driving 101, to actually learning about the craft, we were made to feel like safety was paramount and we were in the right direction place. We had such a blast! Will definitely do again. Thank you R and R surf!

My son and I booked a four-hour boat rental with R&R as an early Father’s Day celebration. Our afternoon on the Seadoo Switch was the best experience we had during our weeklong vacation in San Diego. Artiss and crew were professional, helpful and informative. We encourage anyone to book with R&R. We will definitely be back

Our family rented the Sea Doo switch for 3 hours and had an amazing experience! Artiss and his team were professional and helpful. The vessel was very clean, and they gave us a thorough safety briefing to get us out of the South Bay channel. We were able to relax and enjoy our gorgeous SD skyline in a comfortable boat. It was a perfect day on the bay thanks to R&R Rentals!
