This boat has been extremely well taken care of and has lots of extras and is very clean. Complete with Depth Finder, GPS, Dual Battery System, charging ports for almost any device and more. The stereo system sounds amazing, complete with Bluetooth. The boat also has a Bimini Top for those times when the sun is too intense. It is up and in place at the time of rental, but you can roll it back for a sporty convertible look at your pleasure. I am a very flexible person and will try to work with you in any way that I can.

This 2012 Bayliner 185 BowRider with 220 hp MerCruiser TKS Inboard/OutBoard Engine is most comfortable at a nice cruising speed of 20-25 mph 3500 to 4000 RPMS but can easily reach speeds of 35 to 40 @ 5900 RPMS or more. I do not recommend you take it to those speeds as the waters can be very choppy at times and your passengers will be uncomfortable going over the waves at those speeds. Do not try to show off or see how fast you can go to impress your friends. This boat is extremely safe and has built in safety features that will pull back if it feels like your turning a corner at unsafe speeds. Best cruising speed is 20 mph @ 4000 Rpms or so and your guests will have a most pleasurable experience at that speed. The boat is also complete with US Coast Guard approved life vests, automatic bilge switches in the engine compartment, an extra container of gas, dual battery system, Depth finder, Tilt Steering wheel, charging ports for all devices and the list goes on.
______________________________
The boat is sanitized and cleaned each time between rentals to make sure everyone is getting a clean and disinfected boat every time. There is no additional charge for this, however if the boat does come back excessively dirty or trash is left behind then there will be a cleaning charge of up to $100.

We want everyone to have a good time responsibly. Don't forget to stay hydrated! BRING WATER. However, please do not bring any red wine or messy food that can stain the carpet and seats. You are responsible for keeping the boat clean and removing all of your trash.
______________________________
Boat Traveling Distance: The boat is located in Occoquan Bay so you have several options for traveling to different areas. I would prefer the boat not be permitted to travel too far South of Quantico (unless you really know the waters) or North of Georgetown Waterfront (Past the Scott Key Memorial Bridge)
