Very nice time on Chuck’s boat! Would definitely rent it again, thank you!

Very nice owner and super easy to work with. The boat was beautiful, nice bay, excellent price, and overall worth every penny.

We rented the pontoon for 8 hours. Chuck was easy to work with, very thorough, and the pontoon drove great. We didn't have enough time to pick a cooler, so Chuck offered a spare with ice for us to use, how extraordinary! Highly recommend his business!!

Our bachelorette group had such a wonderful time out on the water! The boat was a perfect size for 7 of us and we enjoyed the smooth sailing over to the sandbar. They kindly provided us with a cooler and ice, and Captain Brian took us to a fun dive bar on our way back. Highly recommend!

BEAUTIFUL BOAT, EXCELLENT SERVICE.
My family decided last minute to spend the day on the water. Transaction was simple, convenient, and they had everything ready to go! The boat was pristine and we had a fantastic day! Will absolutely be back.
Thank you!

Chuck was great, very accommodating & helpful.

Charles runs a top notch business and makes sure you are satisfied with every aspect of your trip. I would 10 stars if it was possible!

Charles was so amazing and super patient and I would definitely recommend booking with him. He took the time out to come to my rescue when I had navigational issues. I truly appreciate the time he took to communicate with me and walk me through every step of the way to get back to shore. Whenever I’m visiting he will always be my first choice! Thank you so much we truly appreciated it.

We loved every minute of our experience with Charles and crew!! So very helpful with everything!! Definitely going to use them in the future!

We had a great day on the water. The boat was very clean, well equipped and maintained. It was a pleasure to meet Chuck and his marina manager, who made the whole rental experience a pleasure!

Chuck is awesome! He takes the time to explain everything to you! He and his family are very kind. You won’t find a better place to rent a pontoon for your trip to shell island!

We booked this boat trip for my best friend's bachelorette party and it was an absolute BLAST! 20/10 recommend. It was a fantastic time!

Everyone was super sweet and we had an amazing time! Would definitely recommend if you want to experience crab island with friends and family

Chuck & captain Stan are two of the best people ever! So accommodating to weather changes and made sure we were safe but having fun during our ride! Smooth process and would love to come back and do the boat again!

Chuck was super communicative and wonderful with all the children in our party! He was so happy to make sure everybody had a wonderful time. The boat was well maintained and outfitted with all the necessities!

Charles was great! The boat was as described. Clean and comfortable.

Charles was amazing, educational and patient. You could tell he wanted my wife and I to have a fantastic time. The boat was great, no problems and clean and super fun! Highly recommend to take a boat out, no matter your skill and use Charles!

Chuck’s marina is easy to access and clean. Boat was in perfect condition. Staff were accommodating and helpful. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks again Chuck.

Chuck was such an energetic fun guy to work with with excellent communication! Would definitely recommend renting with him!

Had a BLAST! Stan and Chuck were fantastic and took great care of us!! Great choice for a bachelorette booze cruise :)

Chuck was extremely friendly and very accommodating. They were very thorough on safety and the maps of the surrounding area. The boat was wonderful!! Thank you!

Had friends and their 2-year old in town come along on the boat during October. Boat had plenty of shade which was ideal. Chuck was super easy to work with. Will definitely rent again from Chuck in the future.

The boat and rental experience from Chuck was top notch. Boat was in great condition with no issues at all. Our entire crew had a great time going to Shell Island and exploring the bay.

Chuck and our captain were amazing! They were easy going when we arrived a bit late and even extended the trip for us. We went to shell island which was beautiful and our captain let us connect to Bluetooth and was very friendly and easy going. Scooter greeted us when we arrived and returned and was a highlight of our trip. Would 100% recommend this!

What a great day with good friends, thanks again to Charles for providing us with a beautiful boat for and even beter experience.

We had a great time on the boat, our captain, Brian was very knowledgeable about the area and we had a great time traveling to shell island. He is very friendly and helpful. The boat was easily accommodate all 9 of us. Would definitely recommend renting a boat from chuck for a bachelorette party. He really great with communication and answering my questions.

Amazing service and communication with Chuck! Hands down the best marina in Panama City!

We had a great time, and everything was as advertised.

Chuck was great! We very much enjoyed our boat day!

Very nice and friendly. Easy to do business with.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME! Can’t say enough about Capt Chuck and the business. His service was EXCEPTIONAL from the easy paperwork and instructions, helping us load the boat, general information of the local waters, to the just overall professionalism and kindness. The boat was VERY well maintained, comfortable, clean and in great working order. It all made for an amazing day out snorkeling, sunbathing, and boating around the bay and Shell Island. Would definitely book again and highly recommend.

It was a wonderful trip, my family and I really enjoyed such a beautiful view, Captain Stan was very good to everyone, respectful and communicative with us. I loved this trip and of course I will return to have fun again with my family and Captain Stan. 100% recommended if you want to spend quality time

We had such a great time! Our party of seven was in town for a bachelorette and we wanted to spend a morning out on the water. Booking was easy, and getting set up on the boat on the day of our trip was even easier. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We got to cruise around to do some sight seeing, hang out on the beach at shell island for a while, and swim out in some deeper water. There was also plenty of wildlife to see. Our bride had a blast. We'd definitely recommend!

Chuck was incredibly accommodating, and the communication throughout the entire process was top- notch. The price was fantastic for the 4 hrs - literally from the moment we pulled into the parking lot, we were taken care of. Captain Joe was amazing- he took us to Shell Island, which felt like our own private beach. We were lucky enough to see a family of siphons, a shark, sea turtle and several stingrays. It was truly an unforgettable day!

We had a great day celebrating my little sister's bachelorette with Captain Joe! He made sure we got what we wanted out of the experience.

Highly recommend. Process to rent was easy and the boat was great. Ask how to get to shell island!

The best service ever great people they really take care of you the best ….

Boat motor is too small, takes 33 minutes to get to shell island from the dock with 5 people onboard.

Hideaway Marina boat rentals by Chuck was fabulous! Chuck was very thorough in explaining everything about the boat and area. The boat was very comfortable for our party of 9! It was a terrific day on the water-we even saw dolphins 🐬!

The perfect boat and day out on the water in Panama City Beach! The entire staff at Hideaway Marina is amazing! We can’t wait to do it again!

We had a beautiful day and Charlie was so helpful from start to finish! Thank you!!

Everything was perfect working with chuck will definitely use him again

Quality boat, great service!!

Chuck and his team are amazing. He goes above and beyond for his renters. He’s accommodating, thoughtful and takes safety very seriously. I’ve rented from him twice now and will continue to use Chuck for all my boat rentals. I can’t thank him enough for the great experience he provided!

We had a blast on the water! The rental process was very easy and they had us on the water quickly.

Will definitely rent from them again, next time.

Chuck was really accommodating. Super easy to rent from.

We had a great experience renting a pontoon boat here. The boat was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. The staff was very friendly and made the whole process easy. It ended up being colder than expected, and they even offered us blankets to take on the boat, which was such a thoughtful touch. Excellent service and a great day on the water. We would definitely rent from them again!

Really courteous and helpful staff. 10/10 recommend for boat rentals. We will be using them every time we come back.

We had the best time out on Chuck’s pontoon! He was very friendly and explained everything very well! We will definitely be back!

Niece boat, easy to operate, check in and out was very easy.

Super easy to get underway on our boating journey. Friendly folks, clean boat, awesome experience. Will definetly visit again!

Great experience. Chuck and Stan are very friendly and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time and went to a beautiful beach. Scooter was the sweetest pup and really added to the experience.

Great service, boat was fantastic! Chuck was super nice and helpful!

Chuck was great to work with, very responsive and friendly. The boat was new and fully equipped. He spent a lot of time making sure that my entire family was comfortable and safe. If come back to Panama City we will rent from him again! Thanks Chuck!

Good attention, very clean boat. I highly recommend

Everything was great! Smooth check in and great boat! Definitely will rent again.

Fantastic experience and Chuck was a great guy. Would rent from him again.

We rent pontoons often living here. We've used many other rental locations but this by far has been our best experience yet. Charles was great to work with and very through. Great customer service. We'll definitely use him again in near future.

The boat was a great time, everything was as described and Mr. Chuck and his crew were great at responding to our questions.

We had the absolute best time! Chuck made the check in process so easy and they were so helpful loading/unloading our belongings. We went with the captained option and Captain Chris made the trip so fun! He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of recommendations on places to visit. Would definitely recommend!

Chuck was great! He worked with our schedule, the boat was immaculate, and ready to go. His check in procedure is thorough and his navigation tips very helpful. Even though the weather was a bit cool, we had a great time exploring St Andrews Bay. Even witnessed an Amphibious Air Cushion landing craft. The whole experience was excellent !!

Everything was clear and easy. Boat was great.

Mr Charles was great. He was very accommodating. I had two somewhat handicapped ladies with me and was able to get them out to shell island and have a wonderful time. The boat performed exactly as you would expect. No its not a speed boat but was very efficient and dependable. It was comfortable for all. Thanks for the memories we were able to create.

Absolutely amazing! So welcoming to our large family! Would 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience and amazing service. They were extremely polite and helpful. We enjoyed a great day on shell island with their beautiful pontoon boat. The boat was immaculate and ran amazing. Definitely will be back again next time we are in town.

Great Host

Had a great day on the pontoon visiting Shell Island for our bride’s bachelorette party! Chuck was super helpful and kind and he made it easy to get out on the water and make our way back to the dock. Scooter was also an added bonus to our visit. Would definitely recommend Chuck and Hideaway Pontoon rentals for any outing or get together on the water!

Chuck was great to deal with. I will rent from him again when I come back

We rented from Chuck and we were so happy we did! Not only was he very responsive, he was a nice and welcoming person!
He was very thorough with all his instructions and making sure we had everything we needed.
His boat was super clean and easy to use. We had a great day going to shell island and doing a little fishing as well.
We will definitely look to him next time we are in the area!!
Thank you Chuck!!

Great experience! Chuck is super friendly and knowledgeable. Vessel kept in tip top shape, and we had a great time!
Thanks Chuck!

Great boat for all types of captains hahahha I’m not but very easy to handle great for families, not a speed boat, Charles great guy , easy going and attentive thank you for the experience

The rental process was very smooth. Chuck was so pleasant and understanding. The boat was clean and spacious. It was a pleasure renting Chuck's boat and the captain too was awesome. Will definitely be coming back again.

Had a fabulous time!!! Chuck could not have been nicer, this is the only place I’ll ever rent from good forward!!! Great boat, and even greater owner!!! A1 experience!!!

We had a great time! We had a captained trip with Tom who was amazing! He had all the right spots for taking my sisters and Is boyfriends fishing! and took us to shell island which was amazing! Never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable and was over awesome to have aboard!

Very nice boat and service. Chuck is a great host.

Had a blast!

Can't recommend Chuck highly enough. From the moment the boat was booked to the moment we returned to the mooring Chuck took great care of us. The boat was in excellent condition ad performed exactly as expected. Great experience and look forward to our next booking. We had a brilliant day. Looking forward to our next booking!

Chuck was a great host and provided a great captain for our boat day!

It was a hassle-free good time! Chuck was phenomenal with communication. Our family enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Chuck was great! He was extremely helpful explaining everything we needed to know about the boat and helped us with directions for where we were wanting to go. He even accommodated us when we called and requested another hour because we were having too much fun to come back! Highly recommend visiting Shell Island and renting through Chuck! We can’t wait to come back!!

We had the best time!! These gentlemen were SO sweet!! Chuck and Captain Stan really set us up for a fun time! They were communicative and helpful!!

Had a great time! Would DEFINITELY recommend booking this excursion!!!

I had an amazing experience renting a boat from Chuck! he was incredibly friendly and cooperative, and went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to rent a boat - the customer service is top-notch.
Thank you so much Chuck

Awesome trip! The process was so quick and easy. It was seriously the best day of our entire trip! Captain Stan made sure we had an absolute blast! Can’t recommend Chuck’s rental and Captain Stan enough!

Hands down must!!! Last minute booking and absolutely no complaints. Check in was so fast. They made sure we felt completely comfortable and Steve was amazing. This is a must for all our trips.

Chuck & his fleet of pontoon boats are amazing. He always goes above and beyond for me and my group. Always a pleasure, thanks Chuck!

First time using Boatsetter (always renting from the “rental companies”) & the experience was FANTASTIC! During our family trip up from ATL & staying at St Joe Beach, we arrived in PC to find Chuck - who couldn’t have been more wonderful! Boat was pristine, ample life jackets to choose from, and bathroom on site was big, clean and much appreciated. Was easy to see that Chuck was in the business of making people happy (even let my little borrow a pole & net) & we will 100% rent from him again!

Chuck was very relaxed and made us feel relaxed, too! Of course, there's all the waivers and signing, that's insurance. But afterwards, Chuck showed us some nav charts explained them and even had laminated photos of "this is what it looks like" to make sure we knew how to navigate the channel. Chuck even used his golf cart to help us load and unload our coolers (and mother-in-law).

We would absolutely rent from Chuck again. Boatsetter is a good platform, too!

Great time. Chuck called us to reschedule our full day out to avoid weather issues. We scheduled for another day and had a great time on Shell Island. Highly recommend.

The boat was pristine. The owner provided excellent attention to instruction, area information, and even provided golf cart transport from my truck to the boat. The dock space was clean, in excellent repair, and in a calm water area. Thanks! Will definitely return

Charles is the most awesome and laidback person you will meet. The best pontoon experience we have ever had!!!! The staff along with Charles is and no doubt in my mind will be the same top notch as is it was this time. Can’t wait to see you all again on our next trip.

Charles was so great to work with! The pontoon was newer and had plenty of room for the family to stretch out and relax and also to fish off of. We will be renting from him again when we come back. We might even stay at his Airbnb located right there at the marina.

We enjoyed our day boating with Captain Chris! We saw dolphins and had an amazing time at Shell Island. We would do it again!

Great service from Chuck and the team. Clean boat, ran great, wonderful instructions on sights to see. Easy return .

Chuck was awesome! Very helpful in directs and only a 20 minute ride on water to some awesome places. Also very very easy to deal with no problems at all!

Chuck (and his sweet dog Scooter) made our visit to Hideaway Marina the most pleasant it could have been. He was so accommodating and generous with our group-offering to take pictures, and letting us play music on the boat. The boat was such a great idea for our group of 8 and we will certainly be back! It was the highlight of our entire trip. Thank you again, Chuck!

Chuck was very helpful when it came to every detail of the trip. Even to the day before when we had a make a time change, which he was very pleasant about! Once we arrived to the dock Stan introduced us as our captain. He picked us up in a golf cart, to eliminate heat exhaustion for my three young kids. He insured we were well taken care of, tended to all our every need. Stan was amazing! Will absolutely book again with Chuck and Stan, they’ve exceeded my expectations!

Super friendly and great service, the boats were very clean and chuck is extremely friendly. Stan was our captain and was extremely knowledgeable about the area and very friendly as well. We will definitely be booking with them again!!

Great location. Great host Chuck’s got a great setup boats, parking, and restrooms. Very informative ready to get you out on the beautiful emerald waters!

Great Experience! Chuck was super helpful helping transport and load all our things on to the boat. Boat fired up immediately without issue. It was also very clean. We highly recomend renting from Chuck!

Chuck and Captain Tom were amazing! They were very helpful, accommodating, and made everything easy for a group of 10 on a bachelorette trip. We went to Shell Island and a sandbar nearby. Highly recommend booking with Hideaway Pontoon Rentals!

The boat owner charged me for a date and time that he said the boat was unavailable. He also said he had canceled that reservation yet he would not admit the error. Do not be deceived by this owner as I was.

Chuck was very knowledgeable and super nice. His pontoon was so much fun to go out on. Being able to have the time to go out and enjoy the time we had in it was amazing. He help us feel comfortable on all levels. When my wife bring our family out here we'll be doing this again.
Thank you Chuck!

We had a great time on our trip to Shell Island. The little Hideaway Marina provides easy access to the boat and plenty of parking. Chuck was awesome! He took great care of us. After our trip, he recommended the Barefoot on the Bay Bar & Grill. Excellent food and views! Thanks, Chuck!

Super accommodating host, very nice and easy to contact and we had an amazing time on the nice and clean boat. Also Scooter the dog was the cutest!!!!

Great guy! Amazing time on the water and chuck made it super easy!

Very nice host. Chuck was extremely helpful and nice. Great vibe. Best price around. Gave us everything we need led to hit the water. Great guy. Great business. Definitely will use again.

Great few hours. He was very informative and appreciated us. We got back in a cove and saw 6-7 dolphins feeding. Just got lucky. Great day.

He did so great and his boat was absolutely amazing! He did so good at helping us! I loved thy there was someone who also helped us with all of our stuff, getting to the boat from our car and back to our car when we were done! I highly recommend!

Everything was perfect. Boat was so nice and plenty of space. We have rented lots of boats and this was the best experience and Charles was so awesome and helpful.

Great host, great boat, gorgeous weather, awesome experience enjoyed entirely!

Check was so nice and informative. I highly recommend. Great guy and great boat!

We had a great time using this rental. Would definitely do it again!

Great time on the water with my sister and nephews. Charles was a pleasure to work with. He made sure we knew everything we needed to know for our excursion. We will be back again!

We had a awesome time on St. Andrews Bay water. Chuck the owner was very nice and informative on how to get to Shell Island! We would definitely recommend there pontoon rentals!! See You Next Year!!

Chuck was absolutely wonderful! The boat was clean and ran great. He took all of our belongings straight from our car to the boat. He was waiting on the dock for us when we returned and took all of our belongings right back to the car. We will definitely rent from him again!

Thank you so much Chuck and Captain Stan! We all had the best 8 hour excursion on the water. Everyone was so nice and kind to us and provided everything we needed. We especially enjoyed Chucks cute dog Skipper. We had a great time and really appreciated everything. Would 100% book again, Stan was an excellent captain and took great care of us! Thank you all again!

Chuck is an awesome person! Definitely recommend him and his fleet :)

We had the best time! Chuck was friendly, responsive, and accommodating! He delivered on finding a great Captain, Joe! Would rent again if I’m ever back in the area.

The boat was definitely worth renting. There was plenty of room. It was a great experience for all 6 of us.

Chuck and Captain Stan were phenomenal! Been on several boatings before and never had such a great experience! Stan was from Kansas City MO near our hometown so had lots to connect about! Both very personable guys! Will be back!
