 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great rental company!   The boat looked a little beat, at first, but during the familiarization tour it turned out that all the electronics worked.  GPS, depth finder, speedometer, fuel Guage, everything worked!  If you are familiar with boats, especially rentals, that was pretty special!  We had it for three days, and we're just further impressed. The deck had recently been replaced, the upholstery was in great condition and all the hatches worked as designed.  The actuall best part was the communication and support. This company obviously cares about its customers and we certainly appreciate it.  I will never look for another rental company as long as they keep providing this level of quality.  Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented the Sweet Revenge for 2 days. Emily was very helpful and responsive all the way thru. As we were staying at a house on the water in King’s Bay- Emily had the boat delivered to our dock and she provided a full run down of all the features. We felt a sense of reassurance that the craft was well maintained and should a hiccup occur- they would be there to assist. The pontoon ran well and was clean with plenty of room for the 6 of us to spread out and enjoy the trip out to the scallop grounds. We will most definitely rent from Darrell and Emily again. Thank you for a great experience for my family!

You are entrusting us with a big part of your vacation or getaway. We don’t take this lightly! We know what we would expect from a rental when we head out on an adventure. We give that and a LOT more! Not saying we are the cheapest, but our equipment isn’t your ordinary rental equipment either! This is our personal equipment that we too use to enjoy the many beauties Florida has to offer. No expenses are spared to make our toys perform WAAAY better than the average.

We are proud members of BoatUS and have been commended by USCG for having more safety equipment onboard than legally required!
