A little about me… I grew up in the area and have been boating these waters for over 30 years. I use to be a competitive wakeboarder and love deep sea fishing. On of my days off I’m usually at the island with my family. I know the waterways very well so I can direct you to all the best spots on the water based on the experience you’re looking for. On the day of your rental, I will send you a list of island and restaurant recommendations and give you access to a free app that helps you navigate the waters with ease.
FOOD AND DRINKS
You are welcome to bring food and drinks. All you have to do is hop on the clean, fully fueled boat and start your adventure! It’s that simple!!
SAFETY
We provide all safety equipment and lifejackets. Children lifejackets available upon request. Please send your child’s approximate weight for proper fitting.
FUEL
Per Florida law, we cannot include fuel in the price. Therefore, fuel is not included and will be charged to your card once the trip is completed. Fuel fees ranges $30-50 per 4 hour rental. Good news, we trailer the boats and fill up at the gas stations which is half the cost of marinas!
CHECK IN
We will need you to arrive 20 minutes early to give you time to park and check in. We will also review all the safety equipment and the operations of the boat together and go over any questions you may have.
AGE REQUIREMENTS
If you have born before 1988, you are not required to have a boaters safety license. If not, please contact me directly for instructions. You will need to take a 25 question multiple choice test online that usually takes people 20-30 minutes to pass : )
All children ages 6 and under need to wear a life vest at all times per Florida law.
NEED A CAPTAIN?
I have a list of qualified captains and guides. Captains range from $50-60 per hour and Guides range from $30-40 per hour. The law does not require you to use a certified captain. Guides are less expensive and have the experience being boat owners themselves; the choice is yours. Feel free to request help for recommendations, I’m here to help. Please understand, the Captain fee is not included in the offer, even if the offer says “Captain included”. This is a way for us to know if you need a captain or not, we do not have control of the app’s context. ***There are surcharges for holidays and special events. Please inquire. Thank you!
WATER TOYS
We have an inflatable 7 feet slide, Paddle boards, cooler, pop-up tent for shade, wakeboard, water skis, tow tube, and sand castle water toys available for small additional fee.
Slide $40
Tube $40
Wakeboard $40

TIPS AND TRICKS
1. When returning, the red marker is always on your right… red right return
2. Never leave the boat unattended at the island, the tides change quickly and you could end up beached like Gilligan!
3. Always have your lines ready and someone ready to catch the dock when docking the boat.
4. Watch out for the no wake zones typically by marinas, bridges and homes.
5. If you get pulled over by the authorities, show them your bareboat rental agreement when prompted.
6. If docking the boat, please make sure to compensate for tide fluctuations. YouTube a refresher if needed : )

With over 25 years of boating experience, I grew up on the water in Gulf Harbors. I was blessed with my first boat at age 8 to cruise around in with older brother. I’ve owed boats ever since and sometimes feel like I was born with gills : ) I love watersports like wake surfing and wakeboarding; I use to compete when I was younger.
