    It was a pleasure to meet Winston and have the privilege to rent his boat. His boat was kept in good condition and was clean when we arrived with the cooler and fishing poles as promised. He was knowledgeable in reviewing safety and how to work the boat. The family and pups had an amazing time and really enjoyed the freedom on the water. We will def utilize his services again!

    Winston was early meeting us at the boat ramp and patient as we waited for our daughter to get through traffic. He was also flexible on the pickup time. While not a new boat, it operated flawlessly and we had a great time. I will rent from Winston again.

    Winston was great! My family and I hit some traffic that made us arrive about 10 minutes late and Winston already had the boat in the water and tied up at a busy dock holding us a spot. The boat was exactly as advertised, nice , clean , and perfect for us. I highly recommend Winston and his boat(s). He even showed me some marked fishing spots he had saved on the Nav.
    Good guy and good boat = Good times!

    Great experience overall! The boat is wonderful and works well! It’s well taken care of. Winston is a wonderful host. It’s a great location here. I’d say 6 hours was not enough for us. If you are considering renting, get it for more time. You’ll need it for navigating the waterways.

    The boat was comfortable for 10-12 people, lots of shade from the bimini, radio, 2 anchors. We were able to travel at 13 mph which is pretty good for a pontoon boat. Winston was helpful and friendly. I would definitely rent from him again.

    We had a wonderful time out on the bay near Anna Maria Island. We arrived about 15 minutes early and Mark was already there with the boat and ready to help us get out on the water. He showed us around the boat and its controls and then dropped us in at the boat ramp. We loved Bean Point and Passage Key. We were making great time on the way back until we got hung up on a sandbar. Those things are no joke! Mark was very patient with us being a half hour late in our return. All in all a great day!

    If you’re looking for an all purpose great running boat to explore the Bradenton Sarasota area look no further. My wife and I had a great time fishing and exploring the area. Winston was very communicative and overall a good dude with plenty of local knowledge. We will for sure be renting this boat again soon!!
