    James was fantastic!! We had a wonderful day on the water. The boat is beautiful and so spacious. We would definitely charter with him again in a heartbeat! He was able to provide a paddle boat, bbq and a pad to lay on out on the water. It was FANTASTIC!

    My boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday on James’s boat. It was an incredible experience cruising around on the water, seeing beautiful mansions and yachts! We even stopped in a sandbar to get out and swim. Our captain, James, was awesome and we brought food and alcohol on the boat to celebrate. 3 hours was the perfect ride for what we want wanted to do! James was super chill and filled with fun facts about the area. Book with James!! He is the best.

    We had a great time with James. He was flexible, kind, and let me bring my sweet pup as well. Fun day on the water and looking forward to doing it again soon!

    Phenomenal day on the water with James! Incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, and the boat was pristine. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a nice tour or a day at the sandbar, James has you covered! Will definitely be rebooking on our next visit.

    James was a great captain as was his first mate. They took us to the best spots and made sure to give us options to avoid the small rain storm that was on the radar.

    If I could give James more than 5 stars I would! Due to weather he was able to accommodate my friends and I and change our reservation for the next day. Communication was great and definitely had a great time. Will be using him again if I’m ever in the area.

    A co worker told me about the Boatsetter app and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. My boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday on James’s boat. It was an incredible experience cruising around on the water, seeing beautiful mansions and yachts! We even stopped in a sandbar to get out and swim. I can’t wait to go back! Our captain was awesome and we brought food and alcohol on the boat to celebrate. 3 hours was the perfect ride for what we want wanted to do!

    James is the best captain ever , he communicates clearly, his boat is immaculate, he is knowledgeable about the local waters and sand bars and he believes in giving the customers the best experience on the boat. Do not look anywhere else

    We had such a great time on James’ boat. The whole process was seamless from booking to the actual day. He took us to a great spot for the kids to swim, and they had a blast. I highly recommend booking with him - would do it again in a heartbeat!

    My family and I had a great time out on the intercostal with James. James took us on a tour of the Fort Lauderdale marinas, downtown, and the barrier islands. I would highly recommend the pontoon boat for families as there was a lot of room to move around while cruising the canals.

    We had the perfect ending to our Memorial Day vacation riding with James on his beautiful boat. Boat was pristine and spacious for our group of 4. We had a fun time out at the sand bar. I highly recommend booking James for your next boat excursion. Thank you James!

    Overall, James is an EXCELLENT captain!

    He was very knowledgeable of the Fort Lauderdale Intercoastal area. His advice on food options and sandbar options was awesome.

    He also played DJ and 'bartender' when we were out on the sandbars and need beverages tossed to us from the boat.

    Overall, an AWESOME experience.
