Bentley Pontoon DC / Jet Skis(extra cost)

Shaod from the very beginning wasn't very friendly. His crew on the other hand were great and we had a blast regardless but this review is specifically for Shaod. When I initially reached out to him inquiring about the boat and how excited I was to celebrate my birthday, he didn't have very good customer service skills and almost made me want to find another available boat to rent. Then the day of, someone on his team told me 10 minutes before we were to board that he would be late but didn't know how long it would be. My trip should have been a sunset cruise but by the time we left the sun was already going down. My group should have had have had and 1 1/2 hrs of daylight and 1 1/2 sunset/night. Because our trip started an HOUR late I asked if he could waive a portion of the $200 cash cleaning fee (sketchy, we pay enough already, what does the service fee cover?) and he began to argue with me in front of everyone about that like it wasn't a valid thing for me to ask. He was rude and dismissive, I would NEVER recommend or book him again. I'm not one to ever write reviews but his page is misleading and I'm sure it's filled with 5 star reviews because people want the $25 he says he'll pay if you leave a good review. I'm not the hurt for money. Learn how to talk to your customers and maybe it will go better for you next time.

The boat crew was nice. There was an additional $100 parking fee on top of the $200 cleaning fee that wasn’t communicated.

Excellent experience and would definitely use again. Very accommodating and friendly.

Everything was great the crew did a great job

Thanks Shaod! If you’re thinking about booking him for a day out on the Potomac, DO IT! He’s super laid back and let’s you have your fun while he guides you along the river.

We will definitely be booking with him again!

We had a great time celebrating my husband's 40th. Rashad was a great host and I would highly recommend him!

Great experience. Shaod was easy to communicate with. His captain, Jamal, and assistant, Bri, were very helpful and pleasant. The boat was clean and had colorful lights that came on at night. We cruised down past Georgetown and upriver from there. Beautiful late afternoon and evening.

Wonderful afternoon on the water! Would definitely do it again.

Amazing experience! Nine ladies went out for a 40th birthday celebration. We had snacks, drinks, music and fun! I can’t recommend Shaod enough! He was so accommodating and even stopped along the way to run in and grab sea bands for one of our ladies. We hope to be able to do it again!

Our group of 8 had a fantastic time on the pontoon celebrating a 30th birthday. Shaod was was great. Highly recommend!

Great service, friendly owner/Captain, positive experience. Shaod was flexible on the trip, dropping us off at a different marina than the pick-up so that we could get to a different part of the DC area easier. He stopped to get us ice cream, he let us play our own music, and he was just an all-around positive Captain. Would recommend him and his boat.

Great time with friendly captain. Would highly recommend.

Shaod was great! We had a great time!

Shaod was great!! Highly recommend. We had a great day on the water.

We had an amazing time on the boat this Fourth of July. Shaod was extremely flexible and patient with our group. It was a fun and easy day on the water. We would highly recommend!

We had a great time! Even though we were late Shaod still waited for us and was very professional! I recommend him to anyone looking to cruise the Potomac and have some fun!!
Thanks for the experience!

Shaods and Larry are the best! We had 14 people on the boat and fit everyone comfortably. We had such an amazing time and cannot wait to do it again. We will be renting from Shaods again. If you want to have fun and not spend a ton of $$ - look no further, book now.

We had a great time on Shaods' boat! Our captain was great and took pictures of us during the cruise. The boat itself was in great condition and made for a lovely day on the water!

It was a joy cruising with Shaod. He is kind, easy-going and knowledgeable. My family and I had a blast. We will definitely cruise with him again.

Such a fantastic time! The captains were awesome and just great people. The boat was in great condition. Can’t wait to do it again!
