About Grant
“Hello everyone and welcome to Wake 2 Wake FL! My name is Grant G’Sell, owner and founder of Wake 2 Wake Boat Rentals. I spend most of my time on the water, captains charters, surfing, scuba diving or wakeboarding with friends. I decided to pursue my passion full-time and share my love for the water and water sports with all of you, and the St. Augustine community! I created Wake 2 Wake FL to do just that — from 2022 pontoon boat rentals along the beautiful & historical intercoastal with the dolphins at sunset to private wakeboard and wakesurf lessons — we do it all, and we come to you for your convenience! If you are requesting to book me as a captain, I have my 50 ton master captains license. I have more photos as a baby on a boat and out of a boat so you are in good hands! I love showing guest the intercoastal, and giving a local experience what I would do with my family and friends I can’t wait to create awesome memories with you all on the water this season! 🤙🏼 ”
Aboard since 2022

First I want to say Grant is a great guy. In just the short amount of time talking to him you know you picked the right person to rent a boat from. Took plenty of time to make sure you have everything for a great day on the water. Thanks again Grant, God Bless.

Grant was a true professional—from quickly communicating and providing easy directions to having a top notch boat and going above and beyond to make the whole experience amazing. We highly recommend renting through Grant and we’ll definitely be cruising again.

Grant was so easy to work with. The boat was clean, in new condition, and very well maintained.
Grant was very responsive and made it very easy to get on the boat, 5 min of instruction and you are off on a wonderful adventure down the batangas!
The GPS system on board made it effortless to navigate all the sandbags etc.
When we returned, Grant was there to meet us. We turned the keys over and went home. It was so easy that I can't wait to take my family and do it again!
Thank you Wak

We had a great time! Grant is an amazing captain! He took us to sandbars, educated us about the history and marine life, and drove us close to the fort and city center. He is fun, polite, and professional. The boat had everything we needed including sunscreen that is friendly to the ocean. Absolutely the best experience!

My brother and I along with our wives took out of Villano Landing 12 noon Sat Oct.22 for a 4 hour tour of St Augustine harbor. We had a FANTASTIC time! Grant met us about 20 min's before pick up time, we found him checking over the boat which was like new. Gas-filled, GPS working perfect, he went over all the gear, the routes to take all marked on the GPS. Depth and speed to stay within ... one big pushand OFF WE WENT!
Boat and day were perfect. Grant is awesome! Can't wait to do it again. - ErinErin★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 27th

Grant is a super host!! From the very beginning, our conversation toward booking showed me he cared about the customer (me)
and my experience, which he is a vital part of.Upon going over the boat with us, his presentation of Boating 101, knowledge of the waterways there, where we were boating, explaining it well to us, in such a delightful way, made our boating experience successful
We will see you again, Grant.
Blessings,

Hello everyone. I strongly recommend Grant and Wake2wake. We've rented the 20 ft pontoon and enjoyed a smooth, safe ride. The vessel was in perfect shape, and we returned it as we found it. The weather was great, and thanks to Grant and the team, we were on the intercoastal channel for no time. Thank you for bringing two kids' life jackets, for your flawless directions, and for being responsive throughout our small outing. I am giving you five stars, and I will hire you again.

Had an amazing time learning a little about the area, enjoying the gorgeous wildlife, singing karaoke and swimming on the islands! I wish I had booked longer! Grant was an amazing captain with a ton of knowledge of the area and kept us land-loving girls safe on the water. He even moved the boat away from some annoying creeps who were trying to follow us around on their boat. We had the time of our lives and would feel excited renting with this captain and company again!
