The boat

Experience South Florida the right way aboard my 2023 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay, powered by a responsive Mercury 400R. This is a thoughtfully outfitted personal boat — not a stripped-down rental — ideal for sandbar days, Biscayne Bay cruising, short island runs to Elliott Key or Boca Chita, waterfront lunches, and inshore fishing. The Tidewater’s hull gives a smooth, confident ride and shallow-water capability so you can explore reefs, flats, and sandbars with ease.

Layout and comfort are priorities: abundant seating and under-seat storage keep the deck tidy while giving comfortable places to relax between stops. The large casting platform and integrated livewell/baitwell make this a serious fishing platform when you want to target snapper, trout, or mahi on a half-day or full-day trip. Rod holders, a GPS/chartplotter, depth finder, and fish finder help you locate structure and fish quickly. A VHF radio adds safety and easy communication while offshore or in busy channels.

For downtime, enjoy Bluetooth audio through a premium sound system, an inflatable floating mat for lounging off the transom, and a cooler/ice chest for refreshments. Conveniences like a swim ladder, anchor, grill, and children’s life jackets make the boat family-friendly and versatile. Pets are welcome, and you’re free to swim, fish, bring kids under 12, and enjoy alcoholic beverages (please be responsible — red wine is OK).

I’m looking for responsible, experienced renters who will treat the boat with care. Prior to booking, please communicate your plans and passenger experience so we can confirm the trip is a good fit — whether that’s a relaxed sandbar day, fishing excursion, or scenic cruise through Stiltsville and the Keys. I keep the boat clean and well-maintained and will ensure it’s fully prepped for your day on the water. Book a day on Biscayne Breeze and enjoy a comfortable, capable, and fun South Florida boating experience.
