Great experience, from reserving to arrival and returning. The guys loaded our stuff on the boat from our car, then from the boat to our car again. They were very professional and went over all we needed to know about the boat. The boats are very nice, extremely well maintained and clean. Highly recommend for a fun day on the water!

Great pontoon, nice power, in excellent condition. The dock crew took care of everything, we had no worries and the most pleasurable boating experience. We even had a surprise Blue Angles show as we docked at Sand Island. Great place to rent pontoons and other water toys. We will be back again in a few weeks.

We had a great experience renting a boat from these guys. It was clean and ready for us to go. The gentlemen working the docks were very personable and extremely helpful. Rent a boat from them and take it out to Sand island. You wont be disappointed.
