Great boat and easy location in Fort Lauderale. Highly recommend.
Great boat, perfect location. Thank you Michael
The boat I reserved the Q3 23ft was not what I received upon arrival. I was given a 19ft. and was told by Jeff that Michael should have let me know the boat I booked was double booked and not available. . This was a birthday celebration for my wife so it was very disappointing. If it wasn’t her birthday I would have cancelled the entire day and requested my money back. No ‘I’m sorry or compensation. And this was a full day rental. Very disappointing!
This was the first time renting a boat in Ft. Lauderdale and I couldn’t of picked a better person then Michael! It was like getting into my own boat and turning the key. Communication was great! Highly recommend! See ya next time!
Good experience. Good service. As advertised. Would definitely recommend and rent from again on our next trip.
Great boat, great guy! Michael was accommodating, friendly and informative, and the boat was beautiful and exactly as advertised. Would definitely rent from him again!
Michael was an awesome captain and host of his boat. We had a blast! Can’t wait to come back!
Thank you for the amazing hospitality and help. For all of you thinking of renting your boat through him do not hesitate to do so, you will have a blast
Jeff was waiting for us because we were running late and he took care of us in a good manner.
Boat was clean and working well
but if you come back earlier than supposed to, advise. Because you will know it. But even that all good and perfect

Great location, easy to find, Michael's team was very helpful at getting us on the water. Great boat! Thanks
Owner wasn't present. Deck-hand (Jeff) was super helpful, came early to help us get out by 0900. Boat was in rough shape - some basic (and necessary) things didn't function (e.g. speedometer, starboard speaker, Bluetooth, throttle wouldn’t stay in place, depth-finder/ GPS power button issue, boat substantially listed (leaned) to the starboard side, bottom growth, etc). Round trip for us was 54 miles (took 19.5 G at $78). Great day considering boat challenges. Three stars is a generous rating (for the boat). It's important the owner clean this stuff up for the next group - the rental should at least be fully functional.
Wonderful time and great boat and service. Looking forward to our next trip
Great boat in excellent condition. Easy rental.
We loved the boat and will certainly be back again to rent from Michael.
Great host, super clean boat and a great experience for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience. Everything I was expecting. Michael will definitely be my go to for rentals in the future.
Great hosts! Clean boat with friendly staff to accommodate the trip. Highly recommend and will use again next time in town.
Michael was great, boat was new and fully equipped.
Great experience.
He was very patient with a bunch of amateurs and for that we are grateful.
Michael was very flexible in accommodating our last minute boat rental on New Years Eve. Location was easy to find, boat was great and just the right size for 5 of us. Got to spend a gorgeous day on the water from Boca Raton all the way down to Port Lauderdale. Boat ran great, had great stereo/electronics and didn't use much gas while we used it the entire day. A+++++. Great price and value in a superb location. Highly recommend
Super professional service for this boat rental. Michael has a dock, so no time waiting for the boat to be put in. He formalizes paperwork which adds an additional level of comfort and he was very attentive of all of my questions before renting.
As for the boat itself, it is my third Boatsetter rental. This was one of the cleanest and newest boats I have rented. It is definitely a base model, but it performed great, was perfect for the intercostals and was brand new. For the price of the rental for the full day, it couldn't be beat.
Thanks Michael,
Well see you again next year.
Amazing experience with this owner. Great service!
Michael was easy to work with and very accommodating. check in and out was easy. Boat was clean. Only complaint was stern/all around light did not work and we were scheduled to be out after dark. I dont like to be a target of law enforcement.
Easy to work wth! Boat was clean and easy to handle very affordable!
I was met and interacted by Jeff. He was courteous and understanding. I loved the boat.
We had a great day on the water! Michael makes it a very easy process and brought us to some great spots in the area!
Wonderful trip - the perfect way to see The Boat Show! Loved being out on the water with all the Boat Show activity. The boat was in mint condition and fully equipped. Michael accommodated our last minute request with out a hitch.
Second experience with Michael, everything perfect!
great experience all around
The service was excellent, but unfortunately the engine had some kind of malfunction that prevented it to gain speed and we only noticed it once out in the ocean ( like half an hour from the dock), and on the way back it started banging loudly. Sadly this made the experience less enjoyable but this things happen
Great time! He took us around the area and showed us all the great places. Very accommodating and chill
Michael was great and so helpful, and Captain Joe Martin MADE our trip! if you can, request him for sure. He made sure we were comfortable, safe and had so much fun. Can or recommend him enough!
5 stars! Ease of rent, quality boat and professionalism. Will repeat.
This boat was perfect for the three of us.
That was amazing! Thank you captain Michael. We loved our boat trip so much.
We loved the experience, Michael was very helpful.
Michael was able to accommodate us at so short notice. We really appreciate it and enjoyed great boat, professional staff and premium service.
Looking forward renting again soon.
Everything was great - directions and parking were all very easy. Thank you we will certainly book again!
Great time great boat, definitely will return!
Michael was really nice and helpful. Made the experience very enjoyable and an easy process.We will definitely come back again and next time we will hopefully rent one of his boats all day instead of half a day!
Michael was a great host and very easy to communicate with
Michael’s boat was in great shape, great pick up location and everything works on the boat. A very cool iPad app allows to navigate easily around the ICW. We had a great time. 5 adults and 5 small children.
Excellent experience, very Professional.
Thank you for an amazing day on the water! Micheal and Jeff are extremely helpful, geat communication, knowledgeable and just made the whole experience really easy. Can't wait till next time, thanks again!
Had a good experience with Michael. He was supportive all the time.
Easy process, great price, I met with Jeff the day of the rental and he was very pleasant as well. No surprises. Outstanding rental.
What a great experience renting with Michael and his team. Our boat was in perfect condition and we had a wonderful day. Will definitely rent again!
I rented the Rinker Q3 and the boat was amazing! Jeff helped us with the boat in the morning and was very nice and beyond helpful! The boat was everything we could have ever asked for! Will definitely be renting from them again!
Easy great experience!
Michael and Jeff are very good persons, they help us to find some good places to go in the intercoastal. The boat is very clean and has a lot of space, that’s the perfect choice for a day on the sea.
The boat was perfect and Michael s team too.
Thankyou to them it was an amazing day.
Fantastic boat, amazing time! If the boat were available this weekend, I would rent it again for myself and my parents.
Easy pick-up and drop off, and the boat ran great!
Had an amazing experience. Everything was exactly what was described. Will definitely do this again! Thank you!
Great boat. As advertised. Would recommend to anyone.
Awesome from beginning to end. Michael was great !
We had such a great time on Michael's rinker q3. It handled really well and was comfortable for everyone onboard. Would glady do it again.
Michael is very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The Rinker is brand new and so fun to cruise around.
We had a great day aboard our little boat - it was nice to cruise the canals where we wanted to go versus tour boat. One learning experience is that the gas gauge reads 20% difference when idling versus moving. This unfortunately meant we had to take 2 trips to gas station and guess fill amount 3 times - would much prefer to receive full tank and return with full tank than “guess 68% refill”. The boat was a lot of fun, easy to maneuver and a great way to spend the afternoon.
Great service, more than I expected. Boat was very clean beside it being new condition. Perfect communication and right on time.
We rented Michaels boat on Mother's Day Sunday.
Instructions and directions to the dock were simple and the added extra of Michael providing parking made the drive to Fort Lauderdale relaxing.
The boat was in perfect condition- Take your own cooler!
We were a party of 4 but the boat could definitely of accommodated a further 4 adults.
If you are considering hiring a boat, I would highly recommend Michael and his Caravelle.
Thank you Michael!
Awesome day on water
Michael was great! Would totally rent from him again.
We had a great time it was a great experience all around. Will rent again.
Michael takes excellent care of his boats, he is located near several islands as well as a sandbar, and is very polite and knowledgeable about his boats and the area. I would recommend his services to anyone and will definitely rent from him in the future.
I continue to rent from Michael as he is always accommodating, extremely pleasant and welcoming. He is thorough when briefing me on the boat and where to find the emergency equipment. I highly recommend renting any of michaels boats. You are guaranteed to have a blast and great experience. Thank you as always Michael
Michael was great! The boat was in fantastic shape and he was on time.
Great experience. The boat was super clean and Michael was very nice. Will rent from him again.
Michael was knowledgeable, on time, accommodating and friendly. Would recommend anyone visiting South Florida to rent from him. Absolutely 5 star experience even with free valet parking! Thanks again
Fantastic experience with Michael. Great communication and fast replies. Scott and himself were both there right on time. Boat was just as expected and advertised. Will surely use him again!
Amazing captain Michael!!!
From the beginning till the end of our rental, he provided with all detailed information.
So we knew in advance;
- how and where to park our car
- how to operate the boat.
- boat was equipped with all necessary equipment. Even with a GPS.
Overall, amazing experience on hidden beach and in the middle of the sea.
He even didn't charge some late fees. Real man!
Smooth, pleasant orientation at the beginning of the rental and a fun day at sea with a great boat. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great experience!
Michael was very accommodating and had someone waiting at the boat. The boat was nice, clean and new, As advertised. I would rent this boat again.
Very nice boat! Entire experience was super easy.
It was an amazing experience renting from Michael. Boat was new and very responsive. Jeff helped us throughout the booking with questions and also showed us which routes to explore. Highly recommend!
Michael's boat is like brand new, very well maintained and easy to drive... I didn't have much experience with small motorboats like this one, but Michael showed me the ropes at first and we all had an awesome time on the water!!!
The boat was like brand new and everything went very smoothly. Meetings were right on time, the boat was ready to go, and communication was easy throughout the process.
This was an excellent boat. Michael was detail oriented and provided excellent up front information.
Michael and jeff are great very helpful boat 🚣 was new made everything so simple I will only rent from them in the future
Great experience, beautiful boat, super friendly staff. Hope to rent again from them thank you!! A+
Had a great time. Boat was brand new and ready to go as soon as we arrived. I highly recommend renting from Mike. You will not be disappointed.
Awesome experience! Easy booking. We had a great time.
We had a blast!
Michael Was very easygoing & helped us out when we decided we needed a Capt. He found Tim aka CapTim👍🏽 Who was patient & kind to our entire group of women.
The Boat was perfect too.
Michael was on time, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The boat was in perfect condition and it drove beautifully.
Michael is a great guy , prompt responses to any question and positive attitude. However they are very unprofessional. His employee forgot to check the boat that he was giving me and they basically tried to charge me after my rental. Also, this was all mentioned to me via text with no additional documents or any sign that i might have done something to their boat. Luckily i didn't pay anything. But as i said, boat is great. Service is unprofessional.
Very easy process and hospitable host.
Great expience. Would rent again.
Great boat, great service, so much fun! Michael was incredibly responsive and Jeff (the one that met us at the boat and went over the rules and instructions) was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.
From start to finish Michael and Jeff his assistant or top notch including his brand new impeccable boat. Obviously it drove like a dream we have plenty of space and Jeff made I was very comfortable and familiar with walkthrough familiarizing us with a vessel. Thank you both for providing me and my daughters husband and his family a memorable and special day on the water.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Great boat and owner! Will be back for sure! Thank you Michael!
We had a great time! Boat was clean and ran well! Thank you!

Thanks Michael ! Nice clean boat had a great day with my family.
Michael was great and his boat is in a very easy location to access. Highly recommend for boating around Fort Lauderdale.

Michael made this a very fair and easy rental. Everything was well documented and the boat was exactly as advertised.

Great day, great boat!!!
Michael explained everything very nicely. The boat was clean and easy to operate. Will definitely recommend.
Michael was great the boat was great. We had an awesome time. Thank you so much we will def rent from him again.
Very accommodating
Great Boat and excellent service when rented this boat on very short notice. I will definitely rent from Michael again and will use his boat to inspect some real estate properties from the water side.
Great host. Great boat for cruising. Definitely recommend him !
Nice renting from Michael, he explained everything to us to have a nice time. We rented this boat for 4 hs and we had a blast! I would definitely recommend!
It was an awesome experience. Michael is super responsable and kind. He explained everything in detail and the boat is in perfect conditions. We will rent again in the future
Great experience and easy communication! We had a blast. Stereo system on the boat was great. Bring an AUX cable if you want to take advantage of that feature. The stereo also plays the radio and there are some great stations in the area. Michael sends an email with a link to a cell phone app that helps you navigate making it easy to get where you want to go. We also rented for a full day and appreciated the flat $45 refueling fee which seems like a better deal than other rentals. We'd love to do this again and would not hesitate to rent from Michael. Thanks!
Michael made the experience not only seamless but extra enjoyable. We were able to coordinate a change in day due to weather which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!!
Great experience! I will definitely keep this in mind for future adventures. Michael was super clear when providing instructions and easy going. Thank you for allowing us to have such a good experience!
Rented from Michael a few times already. The experience with his team and boat was flawless as usual. Will be back yet again
All worked very well.
The boat was awesome great price we had a wonderful time we will recommend to anyone
Michael was a great owner. Communication was precise and it was an easy exchange. I would rent from him in the future. Thanks again, my fiance and I loved it!
Michael was great! His boat was immaculate and great for my group of 5. He was very informative of the area and was kind enough to allow us to extend our rental time from half a day to a full day. I would recommend renting from him to anyone on any day. By far the best experience we’ve had on boat setter. Thank you Michael!
The boat was great, clean and fast enough, Michael was also great, clear and easy instructions, made it happen with a very short notice, we requested the boat at 10pm and by 10am it was ready to go.
Excellent service from Michael, boat was perfect, definitely will rent again
I recommend 100% Michael's boat.
Michael was great explaining us everything about his boat and giving us advices on where to go. The boat was in great condition as shown in the pictures. I highly recommend Michael if you are looking for a rental in the Fort Lauderdale area.
Great boat and great experience. Michael was very corteous and professional. Thank you.

Friendly and efficient. Boat was great! Will rent again for sure!

Professional. On time.
Had a great experience renting the Vectra 2302 from Michael. Boat was in excellent shape and the pickup and drop off was very easy. Would definitely rent again from Michael.
We had a great day on Michaels boat, he was friendly, informative and punctual. Would definitely rent again! Thank you!
Michael was great ! He was punctual . Very informative prior to the rental in his email . I recommend renting from him . I know I’ll rent from him again .
One of the best boat rental experiences I have had. Michael was very helpful and great on communication. Upon arrival Michael gave us a run down on the boat and all the safety equipment. Boat is very economical as well. Our trip had 5 adults plus a child and we had plenty of room. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great rental.
I rented the Vectra from Michael for the day. It was a great experience. From the moment I reached out to the return of the boat, the experience was effortless. Michael is a great communicator. The boat is in great condition, as advertised. I will do this again.
We had a great time yesterday boating all day with my family. Micheal was an absolute pleasure to do businesss with and the whole experience with him was so easy. He e mailed instructions the day before we were to cruise with where to park and walk to the boat. He offers free valet for you and another car if need be ! The boat was great. Awesome stereo and sound system. I would totally rent this boat again with Micheal. He was so nice to work with and the price of the this rental is hard to beat for Monday - Friday. Thanks Micheal !!
Great boat. Mike was awesome to deal with. Will use again for sure
We had a fantastic day on Michael's boat, Michael was extremely helpful and accommodating. The boat was fabulous.
Great experience - Michael was super easy to work with and the boat was very fuel efficient and perfect for 3 adults and 2 kids. Michael accommodated our schedule - allowing us to get started an hour later in the day - and he also placed our snorkel masks with the concierge in his building when we left them on the boat. Strongly recommend his boat and service.
Great boat and Michael was great... timely, friendly and explained everything clearly.
Great rental! Michael was accommodating and his boat was kept perfectly clean. It was a great cruising boat for the 7 of us. Thank you for making my mother’s birthday so great.
Michael is an extremely chill guy! Arrived before our scheduled time, gave us some basic imstructions about the boat and safety gear, and sent us on our way. The boat is great, ran smooth with no issues. Thanks Michael! We will definitely be doing business again!!
We had a perfect day on Michaels boat. He was on time both on drop off and pick up. Just one hiccup I lost his anchor, and Michael took it very well, super easy going guy, we bought him one since we lost it in the beginning of the day, I informed him and he only cared if we were safe. Overall great day! I highly recommend renting Michaels boat. Also, the boat was great on gas.
I Rented Michaels boat July 1st with a few of my friends and we had an excellent experience on his boat. Runabout like charm I have to say. We were comfortable and enjoyed every minute on the water. Mike Andy Kevin were great keeping in communication with me. I will definitely rent from him again soon
Thanks again,
Takeyma
We had a really good experience with Michae’s boat. Boat is really new. Was clean and ready to use.The boat is easy to handle, very good on gas, and everything works. Michael is very helpful and ready to explain everything about the boat. We had a lot of fun and for sure we’ll rent it again. I really recommend Michael and his boat.
My family thoroughly enjoyed our time with Michael's boat. Michael was exceedingly responsive, nice and accommodating. The boat itself was immaculate, well equipped, ran and performed well. Perfect size for a family journey up the intercoastal waterway and surrounding area. Will definitely rent again when we return.
Michael was absolutely AMAZING! It was my first time using the app and he basically walked me through the whole process & answered all my "stupid/annoying" questions. Boat was set up when we got there & he even showed us how to use our phone maps to find where to go & we were we were. He even gave us ideas on some FANTASTIC SPOTS to stop. If you are looking to rent a boat, Michael is the one to rent from!! So nice, professional , fun, great communication & understanding. He even took a picture of us heading out....and I am glad he did because it was the only one I got of the whole family! He is the only one I will rent from for now on! Thank you so much Michael, we had an amazing fathers day thanks to you!
We Had a great time! the boat is in really new conditions, very clean, everything worked perfectly. Michael is a very nice person, easy going and in every time he make sure we were pleased and comfortable with everything. Definitely will book again!
