About Christopher
“Hi, I’m Christopher! I’ve spent 30 years teaching in Southern California, where I grew up surfing and loving the beach. After a motorcycle accident had me in a wheelchair for six months, I found a new passion in powerboating and wakeboarding. Now fully healed, I’m thrilled to share the joy of boating— and with over 100 five-star reviews, guests have loved the experience. Check them out and see why I offer a premium, top-rated adventure! When I’m not on the boat, you’ll often find me and my big, friendly dog Theo on the beach. If you see us, come say hi!”

Our experience renting a boat from Christopher was awesome. He was very responsive with our questions and requests, threw in a few things for free, was punctual, helpful and friendly. It was our first time renting a motorboat and we'd definitely do it again after a great afternoon kneeboading and waterskiing in the stadium in LB. 5 stars

A day on the water what’s not to love, Christopher has truly made the experience that much better the communication was next level, he was punctual and the boat was ready. Walk through and instructions were perfect would definitely rent from him again!!
- JimJim
Not exaggerating.... everything was perfect. Christopher was fantastic with communication, boat prep, instruction, and overall experience. The boat was clean, comfortable, and in perfect working order. I would rate this experience a 6 star our of 5 possible if I could. We'll definitely be renting from Christopher again.

Chris was super friendly and provided everything we needed. The boat was clean and brand new. My group of 5 had a fabulous time on the boat and we all agreed it was the highlight of our bachelor’s party.

Wow. Renting from Chris was basically a perfect experience. He let me know everything in advance, explained the boat thoroughly on the day, and launched us out and help us back in with ease. Chris gave helpful recommendations, was easy-going, and his boat is INCREDIBLE and fun. I'll definitely be looking to rent again from him, I really couldn't ask for a better option on this site. Thank you Chris!!

Chris was awesome. Very welcoming, friendly, and gave us a full rundown on what to expect while renting his boat. He ensured we felt comfortable operating / navigating through Long Beach and even hopped aboard before we took off to show us controls and any questions we had. The boat itself was very well-maintained and equipped with everything we needed to enjoy ourselves on the water. Definitely would recommend! Thanks for everything again, Chris!

I recently had the pleasure of renting Christopher's boat through Boatsetter for a day out on Long Beach, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Christopher was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process seamless.
First and foremost, the boat itself was in excellent condition. It was clean, well-maintained, and had all the necessary amenities. Christopher took the time to walk me through the boat's features. Thank you Chris for the great experience!

We had the best time! Christopher was great to communicate with, and he was thorough and detailed when he showed us around the boat. The boat itself was super clean and has all of the required safety items. We rented for 6hrs which gave us enough time to head down the coast to mid-Orange County, have lunch on the water and check out a bit of Long Beach on the way back. It’s a day we won’t soon forget. We’d definitely rent from Christopher again!

We had an outstanding time with Christopher’s AR190. It runs perfectly. It is very fun to drive and very well maintained. Christopher is super helpful and is great at answering all of our questions about the boat. I highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful afternoon of boating. The boat was amazing. It is basically brand new (2019) and in immaculate condition. It handled beautifully. But the best part was working with Christopher. He really cared about us having a great time. He responded to our request immediately and communicated perfectly throughout the rental process. The boat was ready and on-time for our arrival. I highly recommend working with Christopher. You'll be more than pleased with your rental experience.

Our boating experience with Chris was nothing less than phenomenal! Chris met our party early, gave us a brief but thorough thorough introduction to the boat, and gave us several great suggestions for how to make our day fun! Chris's background as a teacher was immediately apparent, as he patiently explained to us the proper safety precautions relevant to boating. Our experience on the water was amazing! The craft was powerful, yet easily maneurverable even by novices such as us. I was particularly impressed by how quiet the craft was, especially given the horsepower. The boat is also equipped with an excellect sound system with bluetooth connectivity, which really exhanced our experience. For the entire four hours, we had immense fun, both exploring the beautiful coastline and speeding across the open ocean. At the conclusion of our excursion, Chris met us punctually at the dock, and within a few minutes, we were headed back home.
A true professional and a genuinely nice guy, Chris made a special effort to make my daughter's birthday boating experience memorable.. We can't wait for our next boating experience with Chris! - NatashaNatasha★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Safe,Reliable,Outdoor,Boating Fun (2 boat options)Jun. 18th
We decided to take Father’s Day to the sea and had a wonderful time! The customer service was great, with a smooth transition to the water! Thank you Christopher for all of your support and great instructions! I’m sure we will be renting again in the near future 😊

Our 3 hour family (5) fun day in LB was great. Communication/service from Christopher was top shelf - walk around, instructions and launch. Time in the Marina stadium getting used to the boat, cruised to seaport village by Queen, checked out a big cargo tanker, sea lion bouy and then tubing with out boys (21 & 14) in ocean. Smiles a mile wide and to quote…that was SIC. That’s a good thing. A bit windy this day but no problems. Watching a Yam19 youtube video before helped?

We were a party of 8 and rented this boat for birthday celebrations. We had a fantastic time! Chris makes the process so smooth and easy for you! The boat was beautiful, well kept and ran well. We used the wake board and the tube and both were so fun! Chris was wonderful to work with. He gave a review of all safety guidelines and how to best operate the water sports and boat. I will for sure rent from Chris again and highly recommend using him and his boats to rent from!

Honestly , BEST human I’ve dealt with period. It was my first time going out to Catalina island and Christopher was beyond helpful and patient with me. I accidentally mixed up my times and Christopher handles it very professional and well mannered and helped me out. Boat was great, smooth ! Amazing experience A+++

You could not want for more. Christopher is an honest, reliable and friendly owner who made the whole experience so pleasurable. The boat is exactly as described and was so much fun. I wouldn't hesitate to rent again or to recommend.

Chris was awesome, and the boat was amazing. I would absolutely rent this every year. Bluetooth worked really well. Shade was really large and none of us got burnt because of it.
Best boat deal you will find. DONT SECOND GUESS AND BOOK THIS BOAT

Chris was awesome to deal with. He was very communicative and when we had a bit of a curveball thrown at us because of a closed dock he was quick to call and provide a new option.

Amazing boat for a nice ocean day. My boyfriend and I rented this boat for my birthday and were very happy with our choice. Christopher was very nice and he spent enough time to go over features of the boat. Many thanks to him for helping to make our trip smooth and easy.

We just got back from a great day out on the water on Christopher's boat... the boat itself was great and such a fun ride... and Christopher was so friendly and helpful with everything... he even remembered to bring a child's life jacket for my son when I actually neglected to request one! I would highly recommend renting this great boat for a fun day out soaking up some Vitamin Sea!
- GerardGerard
Christopher was so pleasant, helpful, and gracious. Another boat owner canceled on us at the last minute. I found Chris and he redeemed our plans for the day. The boat was in super shape; he trained us well; and was Johnny-on-the-spot. We couldn't be happier

Rent this boat! Christopher was great. Excellent communication. He answered ALL my questions, and let me tell you, I had a lot. Everything that is named is included. Fuel is an additional cost... but not at all what I thought... super economical. I will rent again. The boys had a lot of fun.

Christopher was on time, friendly, attentive, and responsive with any questions we had before and during the trip. He explained how to use the boat’s features, the use of all the safety equipment and the basics of navigating the local area.
The boat was fully fueled, clean and in excellent shape and really enjoyable.
Highly recommended! Thanks! - Raquel MRaquel M★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Safe,Reliable,Outdoor,Boating Fun (2 boat options)Jun. 19th
Christopher’s boat was super clean and easy to operate! He was patient and flexible with our arrival time and provided instructions that were easy to understand for operation. Chris went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. We rented the boat for four hours in the evening and were not disappointed with the ease of operation, the space for seven adults, and the cool blue lights at night time!
He communicated fast and efficiently either by text or phone call and we would absolutely rent again! - JasonJason

Chris was a great host , met us at the launch, walked us through everything, and also accompanied us on a quick run to make sure we were comfortable and knew how to use the boat.

Renting this amazing boat from Chris was a truly amazing experience. He communicated well, made sure we were all set for our trip, and even gave us a surprise at the end of our voyage!

We had a great 3 hours on the water, did tons of tubing with the kids and they loved it. This boat gave us the power we needed to get them zooming over the wakes. The owner made sure we were comfortable operating the boat and had wakeboard, tube, etc ready if desired. Great rental!!

Renting from Christopher was such an awesome experience. He was on time and explained everything we needed to know about the boat before we set out to sea. Even though the explanation cut into our rental time he was flexible to let us return the boat a little later. He had a lot of equipment to go wake boarding and skiing. We definitely recommend him if you're looking into renting a boat. Will definitely rent from him again in the future!
