With an impressive track record of nearly perfect ratings, this rental operation clearly knows how to keep customers happy. The staff consistently earns praise for being friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. They take time to explain everything thoroughly, offer suggestions for where to go, and even transport guests and their gear to the boats via golf cart. Several reviewers mention how accommodating they were, including one who appreciated the easy rescheduling when weather threatened their plans. The equipment itself gets solid marks across the board. Pontoon boats and jet skis are described as clean, well-maintained, and running smoothly. Families appreciate options like the 12-person boats with lily pads and paddle boards, while first-timers felt comfortable enough to spot dolphins on jet skis. The location provides easy access to both popular spots and quieter areas away from crowds. The combination of quality equipment, helpful staff, and straightforward booking (even for last-minute planners) has customers already planning return trips.
Nice and friendly staff. The pontoon boats are in good condition. Very convenient location for anyone staying on Fort Walton Beach.
