    Aside from having difficulty getting the gate to open when we arrived, and were unclear where to go once inside, we met our captain (Ian) and found the boat. Everyone was very accommodating helping us with the food and drinks we took on board, providing lots of ice and cups. We had a party of 10 and did a three-hour cruise on the Intracoastal. Our friends loved it and we enjoyed hosting therm. Very positive experience.

    We had a wonderful time on this charter! The boat was gorgeous! Everyone was extremely friendly and made this a seamless process for us and our family. My husband’s 40th birthday celebration was a huge success! We will definitely be re-booking with this team!

    We had a fabulous time on this boat with my girls. The boat was spotless, captain Colin was very professional and fun, and gave us a wonderful ride. It’s a perfect size boat, where everyone had enough space for eating, dancing and relaxing. Thank you Clair for answering all my questions to ensure our trip is smooth. Will definitely be using it again. Thank you

    We rented this boat for the Fourth of July, because we wanted to see the fire works from the ocean. I can’t tell you how amazing this day was, we loved it so much that we want that to be our family tradition every year from now on. Captain Chris was amazing as well, he was helpful, make sure we had we what we needed and just overall the whole experience was great!!!

    What a great group of people to work with at Nautical Yacht Charters (Nauti Bouys). They held our hand throughout the set=up and gave us a wonderful night. Captain Colin was a gem and owner Grif Blackstone and his assistant Mayda Maldonado oversaw a great experience for my wife's big birthday. Can't wait to use them again and again.

    Grif was very friendly and amazing to work with while booking. We rented this boat for a bachelorette party - Captain Jordan and stewardess Nicole were an amazing crew — professional, friendly, and fun! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The boat is take care of very well - it was extremely clean, spacious, and perfect for our group of 12! I look forward to booking again in the future!

    If I could rate 10 stars I would. First advice PICK CAPTAIN COLLIN !! He is hands down the best !Our trip couldn’t be more perfect ! Grif the owner went over and above to make sure our day went exactly as planned. We did a charter with another boat ( not owned by Grif) that was subpar and Grif went over and above to make sure our day on his boat was perfect. Grif even followed up several times after our trip. This will be the only boat/ owner I will be using in the future for our boat days !!

    Everyone was great! Communication was great. Anytime I had a question, it was answered quickly. The captain, Ian, was amazing. I highly recommend also hiring Alia for your stewardess. Our group could not stop talking about how great she was and super sweet. Grif's boat was great and it was plenty of space for everyone without feeling crowded. My only regret is not booking it for a longer time!

    Thank you Nautical Yacht Charters for making our Memorial Day Weekend! We sailed through the beautiful intercostal and then made stops to the sandbars. This was the highlight of our weekend, and I would strongly recommend booking. Grif was extremely helpful during the booking process and our captain Colin was excellent.

    A wonderful boating experience! We had a 10 gal bachelorette party and this checked all boxes we were looking for. Our captain Levi (10/10) took us for a bit of a ride, anchored, and even blew up floats for us. Clean, professional, and lots of fun! We would definitely recommend Grif, the Sundancer, and Levi again.

    Spectacular boat & crew! Rent at least 6 hours, as you’ll never want the experience to end! Beautiful yacht maintained immaculately! Extremely clean! Pictures are 100% accurate! Smooth ride! The Captain & Stewardess were phenomenal; both being very experienced and perfectly professional. Tons of room for everyone! Below the deck was so awesome to have. Front of the yacht was as big as we’d hoped to have our group lay out. The Stewardess was also very technically trained on navigating with the Captain, and worked perfectly as a team with the Captain to ensure we were on course and safely moving about as there ended up being a thunderstorm during our voyage. They both also were fun and really had an attitude to ensure we all had a wonderful and fun time! We didn’t want it to end! Also, the owners of the boat were very responsive to our questions beforehand (as well as the Captain) and clearly work hard to ensure we got true value for our time. They clearly know how to run a rental program at this high level, including maintaining their beautiful vessel and ensuring they have the perfect crew handling their yacht! They followed up after to ensure all went well! You won’t be disappointed in renting their yacht, so if this yacht holds the amount of people you need, don’t waste anymore time looking anywhere else, and rent this yacht! You won’t be disappointed! We will only rent from them when we return!

    Nauti Buoyz came in absolutely clutch in our time of need! Had a storm rolling into FLL and our previous boat had canceled on us... after weather cleared, other charters refused to go out, while Nauti Buoyz came in for the rescue! Boat was clean and well maintained and had all the amenities for a full group of 12 guys. Captained by Collins, our ride was smooth, enjoyable, and lively. 10/10 would book again, pretty sure it's one of the best deals on the site! Thanks Nauti Buoyz
