Mike and Steve have built something really solid here with a loyal base of repeat customers, including locals who come back year after year. The online booking system works smoothly, and the staff clearly takes time to explain everything before you head out. You'll get helpful recommendations on where to go, whether that's Midnight Pass Beach or Snake Island, and the launch and docking process is handled professionally with staff assistance. The fleet includes pontoons, deck boats, and kayaks, and reviews consistently praise their cleanliness and maintenance. Most renters highlight how easy the entire process is from start to finish, with thorough safety instructions and well-equipped vessels. One person did experience a delay at check-in and found some worn cushions, suggesting equipment can show its age. The convenient location next to Dockside Waterfront Grille makes for an easy post-adventure meal. Overall, this is a well-run operation where the personal touch and attention to detail keep people coming back season after season.
Absolutely amazing! Best location, prices and parking! Captain Steve was very responsive and clear. They had everything ready for us at the dock when we arrived. After a brief safety overview, we were on our way and enjoyed the day out on the water. They’re waiting for us when we got back to the dock and helped us unload. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend again and can’t wait to go back when we are back in town!
