Aaron runs a tight ship here, both literally and figuratively. Reviewers consistently praise his communication style, professionalism, and willingness to tailor the experience to what customers actually want to do. Golf carts are delivered directly to your location in clean, well-maintained condition, and boat rentals come with GPS routes pre-loaded so navigating the shallows to spots like Snipes Beach is straightforward even for first-timers. The operation covers both boat charters and golf cart rentals, and the reviews reflect a consistently smooth process across both. Captains like Kyle get called out by name for making on-water experiences genuinely enjoyable, and the fleet appears well cared for. Pricing is described as reasonable, and several visitors mention they extended their rentals or booked again on return trips, which says plenty on its own.
Shon and Aaron are some the best around. Great rental fleet with tons off options. Renting boats in the keys can be very tricky, they have this down with a navigation that takes you to the spot the locates can get to . Thus is my 15 th year renting from them and it’s the highlight if our trip. Great service
