Darina was Great, her communication was on point! I had a great time with my friends on the water!
- AustinAustin
We enjoyed our time on the water with friends and family. The boat was in great condition, had plenty of seating, and came with all the things you need for a day on the water (Bluetooth, large yeti cooler, shaded canopy, etc.). Darina was easy to communicate with and very responsive!
- BrianBrian
Darina was an absolute pleasure to rent from. The boat was pristine and such a great size for our large group. They were friendly, prompt and responsive from booking to post rental review. Highly recommend for folks looking t spend a beautiful day on the water.

- JudsonJudson
Darina is wonderful to work with and her boat is fantastic. She's super responsive and when we were pulled over for a routine safety inspection by the Coast Guard, everything we needed to pass was in the boat. I would definitely rent with her again.

The boat was perfect and in good condition. Darina and Joshua were great to work with. They communicated well and I would book with them again any day. Thanks for an amazing evening.

Fantastic boat for event hosting. Great amount of space and amenities. Everything was extremely comfortable, even with a 12-person group. Darina was also super accommodating and helpful. Will definitely look to book another trip.

The boat owner had poor communication and a bad attitude, offering no real help in making things right. We were notified at 1:51 PM—on Easter weekend—that the boat was under maintenance and delayed until 4:30, despite our 3:30 PM reservation. At 3:08, she messaged saying things were back on, forcing us to scramble last minute. Her lack of professionalism disrupted our plans, and she showed no effort to resolve the situation.

Everything about my trip was perfect! The boat is extremely spacious for even just 12 people! We had so much fun!

Bruce (Captain) was great. Super nice guy. He did show up a few minutes late, but we also got off a few minutes later than we should have as well, so it was a wash. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star was because we were hoping to use the cooler on board but was told that the ice that was in it was for the next customer. Luckily we brought our own coolers, so we made it work.

Darina was so easy to work with. She took care of everything before our trip. All we had to do was show up and enjoy our time.
- RobinRobin
Great but we were supposed to meet at 11:45 to get on the boat and review its operation and the guy didn’t show up until 12:04. I had 9 out of town people standing around for 20 minutes and two more to meet at 2:00.

Had a great time on the water with 4 little kids (2-5 yrs) and 4 adults, we were picked up from Georgetown waterfront and had a very nice ride on the Potomac. We had some snacks, drinks and enjoyed the views. The boat is huge and the kids could run around and loved the views too. It felt safe for little kids. The boat has plenty of shade which was great too. Darina was very easy to work with to agree on all the details flexibly, and very responsive. Our captain Bruce was very nice and fun too!

Such a great experience all around! The boat performed flawlessly and is in great shape! Lots of space and amenities for a day on the water! Top of the line electronics, and a superb host who is very communicative and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend it and will likely rent again soon. 5-Stars all day!

We celebrated my 60th birthday with my relatives on Darina’s boat. We enjoyed our trip a lot. The boat was very clean and large. The sound system was perfect. While we were sailing between Georgtown and Wharf, we watched sunset too.
Darina was very nice and responsive, she was responding to my questions quickly. - ClarenzClarenz
Darina was responsive to every questions I have. It was a fun boat experience for us! Make sure to book a time around sunset, it adds up to the experience.

**Great Boat Rental Experience with Darina!**
I recently rented a boat from Darina and had an excellent experience. The boat was in top condition—clean, comfortable, and included an everything as described. When Boatsetter couldn’t provide a captain at the last minute, Darina quickly stepped in and offered her own contact, which saved the day. Her responsiveness and quick problem-solving made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Joshua and Darina were lovely to work with and went out of their way to ensure we had the best time; very professional and communicative. The boat was amazing and even better than we expected. Massive. Sound system and on boat cooler, trash, and bathroom were a huge plus as well.
