With an exceptional track record of nearly 1,000 reviews and stellar ratings, this pontoon rental operation clearly has the process down to a science. The online booking system gets consistent praise for being straightforward, with easy check-in that gets groups on the water quickly. Several reviewers specifically mention being able to accommodate larger parties (up to 14 people) when other companies max out at 12, and the boats come equipped with fun extras like double-decker options and slides that are especially popular with bachelorette parties and group celebrations. The staff earns glowing feedback across the board. Captain Jim, Captain Brian, Captain Niles, and Jared all get shout-outs for being personable, knowledgeable, and fun. Even first-time captains who opted to pilot themselves report feeling well-prepared thanks to thorough, patient instructions from the team. The location offers convenient access to Crab Island in about 10 minutes, and many groups spotted dolphins during their trips. From bachelor parties to family outings, people consistently mention planning return visits, which speaks volumes about the overall experience.
We had a bachelorette group of 14 and had an absolutely amazing time! The slides and lily pad were a blast and made the day so much fun. The office was a little busy with walk-in customers, so even though we had completed all waivers online, check-in took a bit longer than expected. However, they went above and beyond by giving us extra time on the water to make up for it—which was a wonderful surprise and excellent customer service. The deck crew was also fantastic, quickly grabbing a cart, loading up all of our things, and hauling them down to the pontoon for us. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!
