We are a military family and new to the area, but prior owners of three boats. Great first experience with Jake & Boatsetter! Pickup/drop off was super easy, the boat is in good condition and relatively easy to operate. Jake was easy to contact and communicate with. Our rental from Jake and Boatsetter has us reconsidering buying our own boat again. Pricing is reasonable and if future experiences are this good, we may have a viable alternative to the expense and hassle of owning-highly recommend!

Great person to do business with. Jake is informative, responsive, and punctual. The boat was in great working condition and he was very accommodating of our requests. We have rented cars, boats, rv's, motorcycles, and atv's all over North America. Some people make it easy to do business with them, some make it near impossible. Jake definitely made our day easy. 5+ stars. Thanks!

Jake was super friendly and did everything he could to make my trip with friends the best experience. Will definitely be coming back!

Jake was easy to communicate with, very nice, and the boat was great! He gave us a great recommendation on where to boat, and if we’re ever in town again, we’ll definitely rent his boat!

This was my second time renting Jake’s boat and it was just as great of an experience as it was the first time around. He communicated very efficiently and even recommended where the good spots were to go to since it was an unexpected windy day. Will definitely be coming back next summer!

Jake was very responsive throughout the process, worked with us on changing boat ramp locations, was on time with pickup and delivery, and was easy to work with throughout.

Reliable, friendly, and honest. Jake met us at the boat ramp of our choice that was convenient for our trip. Nice little boat for a day trip around the York / James River.

This was our first time using this app and working with Jake was a breeze. He messaged me all the details about the boat and was in constant communication with me with any questions I had. The boat ran great with no issues and it made for a prefect day on the water with family and friends. After finishing up with his boat we were so pleased we already asked when we could take it back out. Look forward to our next booking with him.

We had a terrific experience with Jake. He was extremely easy to work with and went above and beyond to accommodate us. The boat performed well and was great for watching our son compete in several regattas in the area. We look forward to working with Jake again in the future.

Jake was outstanding. He was prompt and professional, making the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. He ensured we had the boat for Mother’s Day, and it was in absolutely pristine condition. Jake gave us a thorough safety walkthrough and stayed in touch throughout. The boat handled beautifully at all speeds. He met us at our preferred ramp—super flexible!
And the best part? The price was a steal for the quality of the boat and service we received.
Highly recommended! - PeterPeter
Jake took the time to go over everything for safety, delivered his boat to a different location, and was more than helpful going over everything and checking in on us. Def will rent from him again!

Another fantastic experience. Amazing host.

10/10. Amazing boat, amazing owner. I’ve rented multiple different boats in this area and I will say that Jakes 19’ speedboat is perfect for everything the bay and ocean have to throw at you. It’s fast, the aft sun pad is awesome for lounging, and the bow seats are thrilling for when you’re up on plane. All my friends and I had a great time. The boat is deceptively spacious and we had no problem with 6 of us on here. Definitely will be renting again. Thanks Jake!
