Joe is a great owner, has the boat waiting for me ready to go, walked me through the operations, and gave me some great points of interest. Great time on his boat. Great way to get out into Great South Bay and Fire Island. Would def rent from him again.

Captain Joe’s boat was clean, safe, and fit the 4 of us very comfortably. The tube for tubing was perfect for my boys.

First off, Captain Joe C. is a true boating professional. The boat was immaculate, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a day at the beach. GPS w digital charts, depth sounder, VHV radio, dual anchors, etc. I appreciated the pre-departure walkthrough of where everything is, how to work the electronics, and motor trim, etc. Boat has plenty of power for a day trip or water skiing. We had a great day on the water (6 hours) with my daughters and family. We'll be calling Joe again!

Joe was an absolute pleasure to deal with! Very patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. Took his time to explain everything we needed to know before taking off. He is very easy-going and patient! We would definitely do this again. We recommend him highly. It was a very pleasurable afternoon!

Captain Joe is awesome, he was a pleasure from beginning to end! From being super responsive to our initial inquiry, greeting us on time at our pick up location to an afternoon of pure delight, Captain Joe was instrumental in a priceless day! He is a gem of a captain, we cannot wait to be back on his boat for more amazing memories!

Perfect boat for our needs and very well kept. What was really special about our experience was our captain. We asked Joe not only to take us out on the water, but to show us the ropes. He did that exceptionally well. We spent 3 hours going east-west along Fire Island. He's got lots of patience, and a great personality. And he explained boating, its rules, and its culture extremely well. He should have been an educator. Great guy. Great day,

Our family of 4 had the absolute best time on Captain Joe’s boat! My husband had experience driving a boat, but it had been a while, so Joe gave him a quick, but thorough, tutorial. He explained all the proper safety measures & gave us great tips on where to explore, go tubing, & anchor. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his boat, which is pristine! Six hours wasn’t enough, we easily could’ve spent the whole day on it , it was that much fun! We will be renting his boat again soon!

Being a first time customer, we were blown away by the experienced Captain Joe and his great boating charter. The boat was spotless and amazing to spend time on, we loved family tubing and waterskiing, Captain Joe made our whole family feel welcome, we did not want it to end! What a perfect day on the Great South Bay, many thanks to Captain Joe! We highly highly recommend!

Captain Joe was super professional and very nice. And a good driver. He supplied the tube and rope. Our kids had a blast racing around the great South Bay. Joe seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of renting a boat from Joe, and I must say, his service was truly exceptional. From the moment I inquired about availability to the time I returned the boat, Joe displayed a level of professionalism and friendliness that exceeded my expectations. The boat was in impeccable condition and well-maintained. While on the water, I accidentally got stranded in shallow waters. A quick call, and he promptly dispatched a tow boat to assist me making it a minor inconvenience.

Joe made our day! Joe worked patiently with me to figure out last-minute plans. I couldn’t have arranged for this remotely without Joe! He was super thorough, making sure everyone was on the same page and kept in touch. Joe is friendly and easy to talk to, and a wonderful host! He made sure everyone was happy and safe! Can’t express how much we appreciate Joe. 100% recommend a trip with Joe!

Amazing experience. Best of the summer so far. Joe was there waiting early. Friendly. Gear ready. Ran down everything from A to Z and gave us tips on where to go. We followed his advice, anchored, relaxed, sight seeing & returned for the smoothest adventure I could imagine. Pristine boat. Great location. Can't say enough.
Thanks Joe !

The boat came as described with all required safety equipment in case of an emergency. Joe was very nice and gave a concise tutorial about the navigation systems and other features of the boat. My friends and I had a great time out on the water!

Beautiful boat that is very well maintained, and had everythingyou could need on the bay. It's in a slip right on the road, so that makes it very accessible. Joe was extremely accommodating and a pleasure to work with. It all made for a terrific Memorial Day weekend. I will definitely be back!

What a great experience that we had in this trip with Joe and his boat, it was our first time doing this and couldn’t find someone better that explained everything and more to us, looking forward to do more trips with him.

Captain Joe was excellent! He was incredibly patient and flexible with my 3 young boys. They had the best afternoon tubing and riding in the boat. Captain Joe was experienced, knowledgeable, and made all 4 of us feel safe while having a wonderful time! We will definitely be booking him again! H

My fiancé and I had the greatest experience renting from Joe! From start to finish, he was professional, incredibly knowledgeable and gracious! He was easy to communicate with and allowed us to extend our rental without trouble. We took the boat out in the great South Bay and had a wonderful time. Joe is a great guy and showed me everything I needed to know to operate the boat independently. We will definitely rent from him again.

Captain Joe was the best!! We had so much fun on the water with friends visiting from out of town. He showed us all the sights on the south shore, we went to the ocean and he was super helpful with everything we needed (cooler, ice, boarding and unloading). We had an amazing time and can’t wait to go back! He is the best in the business!

Captain Joe is such a class act! Responsible, kind and extremely accommodating and flexible. My kids love and trust him. We’ve been out on the water many times and it’s always two thumbs up!

This is our second year renting from Joseph. His boat is perfection for our water-tube-loving family. And Joseph is such a gracious "host", providing a list of notable sites, restaurants, and boating tips. No reservations in recommending. We can't wait for next time!

Great boat, great owner. Joe was super gracious in helping us get started. He showed us the ins and outs of the boat and helped get us acquainted with the best spots to hit. Perfect day in the great South Bay for our family of four. I highly recommend.
