Customers consistently praise the seamless booking process and excellent communication here. The staff, particularly Candace, Patrick, and Sue, get called out repeatedly for being helpful and approachable from initial contact through to departure. People appreciate that phones actually get answered when questions come up, and the team shows flexibility with things like free extensions when delays happen or complimentary upgrades to nicer boats. The captains draw overwhelmingly positive feedback, with Brandon and Ryan mentioned by name for going above and beyond at destinations like Crab Island. They handle details like connecting Bluetooth systems, bringing food boats over to guests, and taking photos. The boats themselves are described as clean and well-maintained, though a couple note some wear and tear. One serious complaint stands out regarding inappropriate captain behavior and an unhelpful company response, which is worth noting given the otherwise glowing reviews. Most guests say they book repeatedly year after year and recommend the service to friends without hesitation.
We had a great experience booking the pontoon. The booking process was seamless, accommodated all the requests. The boat was well maintained and clean. Our Captain Brandon was great, he was lively, made our time at crab island amazing. He took care of all of us really well.
