Benjamin

Worked out great for us. I would recommend 9 or so adults just to be comfortable.

Tony was awesome. He was punctual and really helped us out. Thank you!

The best experience! We can’t wait to book again!

We had a great time! Tony was on time on delivery and communicated very clearly what we needed to know. The boat was beautiful and exactly what we needed. Only issue I had was that I would have preferred communication sooner. I had a previous rental cancel, so I was concerned it would happen again and had to reach out to Ben multiple times via messages and text before I was sent the plans. Would have been nice to have had the information sooner than the night before. Thank you, would book again!

Benjamin worked to get me a boat last minute on 4th of July weekend. Everything was great. Thanks!!

The boat was great! I grew up on a lake up north and haven’t been on the water much since moving down to NC so It felt good to get back out there. The booking was very easy and everything was taken care of, overall the experience was awesome and I would definitely refer to anyone to use this team!

Met with a gentleman who's name was Ray when picking the boat up. He was an incredibly nice and easy to work with individual. the Writesville Beach Area was an incredible place to run the boat, and the boat ran 38 mph with 9 people and fully loaded with fishing and beach gear in it. Smooth ride with no issues. Highly recommend this boat to any groups of people with kids as it's a very comfortable and safe feeling boat.

Great team! Couldn’t have been easier to deal with. Showed up at the Wrightsville boat ramp and walked right on. So efficient. Will rent from them again.

Great to work with, made it easy for us to have a great time on the water

Our experience was amazing. We would def rent this boat again

Very accommodating of what we wanted to do out on the water. We had a great time!

Top notch experience by Benjamin and Tony. Great responsiveness booking the rental, and Tony made the loading and offloading extremely easy. 10 out of 10.

Benjamin was wonderful to deal with! So prompt and professional!! Davis met us at the ramp and showed us around the boat - where the documents, life jackets, etc. were. He and his partner were anlsp fabulous! Only issue was the listing said the boat was ‘brand new’ and there was definitely some wear and tear on the boat. But, honestly, we prefer a slightly used boat anyway - so we were really glad!!
Awesome people, awesome boat, awesome day of fishing!!! We plan to rent this exact boat again!

Keith was great getting us afloat and with the early return too. We had a few nervous “sailors” but all in all, it was a fun cruise!

Great people to deal with. Ben was fair and Mason was very knowledgeable, communicated well, and was punctual.
Boat was clean and was everything it was supposed to be.

Great boat !

We rented the boat and had a great fishing trip! Everything worked great and no problems. Definitely would recommend them for your fishing trip!

Great experience

Ben was very professional, responded quickly to questions and needs. His assistant Tony was courteous and had the boat ready and waiting for us at the dock. The boat did not have bow and stern lines, but we instead have to use fender lines to attach to the dock. Only one other spare line. The eye for the starboard rear bimini strap was broken. Bow anchor cleat was stuck in the down position. No instructions for radio use were given. Gear/throttle control very stiff.

Boat was perfect. Ben was great to work with and I will use him for my next rental.

This was a phenomenal rental day. I rented a skiff to take the grandparents out on a cruise while they were in town, we got to see dolphins and every bird on the water. We all had an amazing time. The boat was clean, full of fuel, and ran phenomenal. I fell in love with the engine it’s so quiet I could barely tell it was running. I will be renting again! Thank you Ben! The back seats were comfy enough for the grandparents…(both almost 90 years old😎they made it!)

First trip was perfect so we had to book a second day out before we finished vacation. 2nd trip was equally as good. Thanks

Amazing host!

Amazing two days on the water. Easy pick up and drop off. Kevin was a great help!

Had a great time on the water. Great boat with a great captain. Thanks you for helping me celebrate a special day.

Benjamin & team were terrific hosts. Check in & check out was super easy. The boat was all it was described to be. Couldn’t have had a better renting experience and time on the water. Definitely using them again.

Great trip for the entire family! Will book again.

Great transaction, communications, and experience. Highly recommend and will rent again in future.

Unbelievably easy pick up and drop off with Mason at Wrightsville boat launch. Boat was spectacular, clean and so much fun to drive. Now looking for boats after this experience. Life changing.

It was awesome, great boat, great guy!

Everything was great! I recommend it.

Ben was an amazing person. He was very responsive and helpful. His boat was a dream come true, and I highly recommend this experience. - thank you so much Ben! Daniela

It was a great experience, we went out to Masonboro Island and my kids got lots of shells. The boat was clean and in great working order and it was the perfect boat for cruising around for the afternoon.

Benjamin and Tony made this a great experience. They communicated well leading up to the rental and on the rental day. The safety briefing was thorough and took only a few minutes. The boat was in great running condition and made for a great day on the water. Thank you!

Overall, a great boating experience! Will definitely rent again.

Ben was great, easy to communicate with and had a beautiful new skiff for us to enjoy!

Nice boat. Convenient in water pickup and drop off.

Honest people made the trip completely worry free!

Ben and his Crew are amazing! Booking the boat was simple and easy and it created a great end to a family vacation !!!!!! Will definitely be booking next time we are back down ! Don’t hesitate to book with Ben!!!!

Benjamin, Jack, and their team were great. All I had to do was show up get on the boat and bring it back in one piece. Would 100% recommend chartering from them.

Another great 3 days with one of Ben’s boats. Highly recommend him and his team when visiting Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach area. Excellent customer service with a boat perfect for the area. We’ll be back again!

Fantastic communication, clean boat, great service from Tony.

Boat was delivered on time. Boat ran great for an 8 hour rental. Had plenty of horsepower. Overall a great experience.

We had an absolute awesome boat day. Boat was super clean and great working order. Would 100% book again!

2nd time renting with Ben & his team, 2nd great experience. Pristine boat, premiere service. Looking forward to renting w him again soon!

Have you ever found a really good restaurant that others haven’t yet discovered? You want to tell your friends about it, but not so many that the place looses its charm or quality. You want it to succeed, but for reasons more selfish than altruistic. Carolina Boat Rentals is the P2P boat rental equivalent of that restaurant.
If you’re considering joining one of the local boat rental clubs, DON’T. Save your $$$.
The rental experience with Ben could not have been more positive, in every way.

Ben is fantastic land his boat the same. Great experience getting the boat and a great day cruising ion the water. Thanks Ben!!

Ben was very communicative and the entire staff was great. We had an awesome time on the water.

Amazing person to rent from and the boats are well maintained and very nice and well equipped! Definitely rent from these guys!!!

Benjamin was great and Tony was great as well.

Easy to book and set up! Nice boat and equipped well! Tony was great for picking up and dropping off which made the process great!

We rented this boat for a nice day cruise on the ICW. The boat was great, clean and ready for us when we arrived. Would definitely recommend Ben and would rent from him again.

We had a wonderful day on the water! Ben was very easy to work with, a quick communicator and answered any and all questions I had. Will definitely be renting again!

Great experience, great service, great day.

The communication, service and quality of the boat were fantastic. I will definitely rent from these guys again.

We had a great experience. Ben was very helpful and accommodating. He gave us information on how to get to different places. The boat was more than we expected and brand new! We absolutely recommend Ben’s boat to others!

Benjamin and his helpers communicated well and the boat was great! Will definitely use again when we are in the area

Ben and Mason were awesome. Our 3 generation family adventure on water was an epic memory for all 10 of us. Will definitely book again!

Had a great day on the water and easy communication

Boat was very nice and Tony was always 💯 responsive. The boat easily fit 8.
A few pointers for those new to Wrightsville:
There are public docks in front of the old wings (breeza) where you can dock and get lunch or use public restrooms.
If you do an overnight boat rental you can also dock there (has to be less than 24 hours).

This is an easy way to see all the things from the water!

Thanks Ben and Tony!

Friendly service. Very helpful service. Had a blast

Had a great time with the boat. Super easy pick up and drop off. Boat was nice. Plan to rent again for sure

Really enjoyed our trip. We only rented it for 4 hrs but was able to extend it with a simple text. Renters were on time for drop off and pick up.

Phenomenal experience. Great communication with Benjamin. The boat is great, clean and well appointed. Everything was timely. Highly recommended!!!

He was great! He made sure we had everything we needed to have a fantastic day. We would use Benjamin over and over again!

Ben and his team were amazing. This process was much easier than I expected. We did not have any of the hassle of putting the boat in or out. Tony was an expert at this process and explaining how to operate the boat and local attractions and laws. Great communication and we had an awesome day. 10/10 we will do it again.

Mason already had the boat in the water and ready to go. After a 5 min orientation of the boat, we were off. We had 8 on the boat and there was plenty of seating. The boat was powered with a 175 HP and it was plenty to get the boat on plane. The local navigation chart plotter was easy to work and to see the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend using boat setter on any vacation where their available

Ben was an excellent renter and everything went smoothly. This is a beautiful boat!

Had a great time. Boat was clean and drop off and pick up was a breeze. Will rent again

Benjamin runs an amazing outfit. Mason, one of the staff was more than accommodating. He was helpful so many ways that made a birthday celebration fantastic. Mason thanks again for drop off and pick up. You guys are wonderful and I will be recommending you to many of my friends here in Wilmington. Thanks again.

Wonderful surprise boat adventure in Wrightsville & Carolina beach for my husband’s birthday celebration. Finally got to relax and just enjoy. Just what we all needed. Thank you Mason for making the day perfect for us. Can’t wait to do this again.

Tony was great to work with and very helpful. We had a fun outing with this well equipped boat.

Super easy process with Ben, highly recommend!

Our day started a little later than planned due to a problem with the original boat. However, Tony, our contact was gracious and because of the late start provided the gas for free. The boat was awesome, we literally spent all 8 hours we bought as we were having such a great time on it. Thanks again Ben and Tony!

Great experience! Showed up, got on the boat and when we were done we pulled up and were able to leave. No hassle what so ever. We had lots of fun on our 8 hour boat ride and will definitely do it again in the future!

Fun times ! Staff were very supportive

The boats were well maintained. The boat delivery and return process. was easy Very satisfied with our experience!

Great boat, excellent service. Highly recommend.

Another year 3 straight summers of renting from Ben, Boats are always top knot and fun time with the family. We will
Be doing it all Over Again next year as well!

We have now rented boats for 4 straight summers in wrightsville beach. En and his guys are always top notch, polite and friendly to deal with. We vacation here every summer from Ohio and growing up in willmington, nc it’s always nice to end our trip on the water . The value you get for the day and time with friends and family is always the best and Ben and his team are a big part of it. See ya again next summer

Ben was very helpful for our first experience and we arrived to the dock with boat ready to go. Tony was awesome with us and helped us understand all the details about the boat and gave great tips. We had a great time and would do it again!!

Amazing experience and boat. We will be renting from Benjamin again.

Easiest boating experience ever!!
The boat arrived at the launch right on time - when we returned the team was waiting. Boat was immaculate and exactly what we expected! Fantastic experience

Great time pickup and drop off was easy coordination. Really enjoyed it

This boat is the perfect size to enjoy the intracoastal

Great boat. Process was very easy and right on time.

Fantastic service! Met at dock, boat in water ready to go. Great walk-through by Tony and instruction on various switch functionality. Boat ran perfectly, no issues.

Great experience, getting the boat and dropping it off was very smooth. Will definitely rent again!

Awesome and awesome people definitely recommend!

Great experience and would definitely book with them again..

Great experience all around from start to finish. Easy process for picking up and returning the boat. Communication with Ben and Tony was great through the whole process. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be renting from them again.

Ben and his assistant were great to work with. We were about an hour away and he delivered and picked up for a reasonable cost. The boat was exactly what was described. Will definitely do business with them again. Great experience overall. You can't go wrong with renting from Ben!

Another great few days with one of Ben’s boats. Tony was great…a perfect customer service representative. We’ll see you again next visit.

Awesome Mason is great

Good boat, everything we needed , would do it again

Great boat, awesome time! Benjamin & Tony are great guys. Hope to rent again soon.

The boat description was very accurate and we had an incredible time on the water. Thank you so much!!!

The entire experience with this boat rental was top notch. From the quick responses to questions I had to the young man at the boat ramp, everyone was professional and fun to talk to. I would recommend using these guys for any boating needs.

Very good trip. Damon was great getting boat set up for us. Would definitely rent again. Thanks

Benjamin’s Carolina skiff was brand new and totally loaded and set up for anything. Cruising, fishing, skiing. Plenty of power 175 hp Suzuki outboard.
He came in time to deliver the boat, was very helpful on answering questions, and easy to deal with.
I am renting this boat again.

Ben and Mason were great to deal with. Boat was very clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend.

Benjamin was super easy to work with. Boat was great. No complaints. I look forward to renting from him again in the future!

We had an amazing time, great staff, the boat was perfect

Amazing boat!

awesome experience renting from Benjamin. second year in a row i have rented from him over the 4th. great customer service, great boat.... nothing more to say.

Ben and Mason did a great job on communication, showing us how to operate the boat. And we're very nice in general. Highly recommend them.
We are going to rent from them when we return next year!

Had a great time. We had everything we needed.

Excellent communication, the boat in very good condition, I definitely recommend it very much.

This was my 1st time using Boat Setter. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. Anthony put the boat in the water for us, throughly explained everything, answered questions I had about the local area and maintained a excellent level of customer service. I would highly recommend renting one of Benjamin’s boats. This was an awesome experience.

Great boat that was easy to handle and made for a memorable day out on the water with family

Boat was great. Mason took good care of us. Had a great trip. No fish but everyone had a good time

Great experience!

This was our first time in NC and I have to say I can’t wait to come back! Ben was available and helpful! Truly made this trip memorable and the boat experience was excellent! Would highly recommend for superb customer experience and excellent vessels!!

This was a fantastic experience, Tony and Ben were amazing hosts, very responsive & great boat. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to boat in the Wilmington area.

Second time we are renting with this company. Simply great. Simple, straight forward. Great boats. Well appointed and very clean. Great folks meet you at launch site. Highly recommend!!!

This was my favorite boat rental experience so far. Boat was clean and ran extremely well, and accommodated our needs perfectly. The guys were very flexible with pickup/drop off times and locations. I will use them again.

Beautiful boat in great condition. And the service and flexibility were amazing. Thanks! I will definitely rent boats from Benjamin again!
Connie B.

Quick response, great price. Long story short, my bothers family and mine had an amazing time. Will definitely rent from them again.

The boat was in perfect condition. The guy from the boat rental professional and friendly. The price seems to be a bit high for a six hour rental.

Seamless experience with an amazing boat on a beautiful intercostal waterway. Got to see dolphins and other interesting waterways. Most fun I’ve had in a while.

Great hosts! Five stars. Ben and his Team were very accommodating. We’ll be renting from them again!

Always a pleasure!!! Thanks!!!

Ben and Tony were extremely quick and accommodating. We had an amazing day out on the inner coastal and the boat was in beautiful condition. Will be booking through him in the future!

We had an amazing time and it was perfect for a family day on the water! Thanks again Ben!!

Benjamin and Tony were great to work with. Their communication was great, especially on rental day which made everything go very smoothly. This is our second time using them and plan to use them again the next time! Thank you!

Excellent service again. Second time renting from them. They are very accommodating and punctual. The boat handled great!

Super easy process, convenient, and reasonably priced. Clean boat and straightforward/simple to use.

Great experience, the boat was immaculate and had plenty of power. Ben and his team made the drop-off and return simple. I highly recommend Ben.

We’ve had the best time of our life on the boat. Booking and getting on and out of boat was super easy. Tony, the young lad who helped us out to get on the boat was very nice and helpful. Explained everything we needed to know and send us off. Such an amazing and exciting experience during our beach week. So good that we booked it twice. Thanks to all!

Everything was easy. We had a great afternoon.

Always a great experience!

Boat was in good condition and Benjamin is great! Customer service is perfect. I look forward to my next rental with him.

This is a great place to rent a boat. The equipment was great, so were the people. Highly recommended.

No complaints! It was an easy pick up and drop off!

Great boat and excellent service from Mason. Highly recommended when in the Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach area!

Beautiful boat as pictured and in excellent shape!

The pickup and return were extremely easy.

I highly recommend!

Thanks for an easy experience renting a boat from you. The boat worked great and your staff was excellent!

Great boat, easy pick up and Matt who dropped it off was excellent

Great boat and a great experience. Everything went smooth!

Had a great time. There were a few issues with the boat such as the speedometer not working but it didnt stop us from enjoying the boat ride.

Easy process, book online, sign your waiver, quick safety brief at the boat dock and you are off. The worst part is booking 4 hours instead of 8 and having to give the boat back.

Fun time!

Perfect!! Rented the boat to celebrate my bday with some friends. A young man Tony dropped it off and picked it up. Great communication from him - he called ahead of time to let me know when he arrived with the boat and went over everything with my captain so i didn’t have to worry about a thing. Great experience.

Always a great way to rent a boat when in Wilmington!
Top notch service and boats are in great shape!

We had a great day on the water! Mason was punctual and very helpful. Rates were fair and reasonable! Can’t wait till next time!

Everything worked well. Boat was clean and on time. Staff was friendly and helpful!

Benjamin and Mason were both wonderful to work with and the Carolina Skiff we rented had all the bells and whistles. It was clean and they had all the life jackets we needed. Even XXL! Will be contacting them again very soon!!

On time for launch and pick up. Boat was excellent. Easy as it can be!

Amazing boat! We had a great time on the water. By far the nicest boat we have rented in the area
