Ricky

Captain Ricky was excellent. Friendly, professional, prompt and informative.
The boat although obviously well used was well equipped, tidy and super fun.
The Lynnhaven area we travelled through was exactly what we wanted. Peaceful and beautiful. We stopped off for a spot of fishing and lunch. All well no issues at all. Thank you. Highly recommended.

We had fantastic time on Rick's boat. He was very fast to respond to our inquiry and to adjust the reservation to our needs. He met us at the public dock with the boat ready to go. He did a thorough walk-through ensuring we knew where all required items were. He went over the waterways and locations of cool spots to visit. He had local navigational maps readily available and the fish finder helped us find good spots to drop anchor and cast a line. I would definitely charter his boat again!

good boat, great owner, and fun time

Great day on the water! The boat was perfect!

Had such a a great time! Ricky is an awesome owner... He answered all my questions and was extremely professional day of booking. The boat was clean and just as described. We had a blast! Thanks so much!

My wife and I enjoyed several hours on the bay. The boat was in good condition. Ricky was an excellent host and guide.

The boat was fantastic and the Host, Ricky was fantastic as well! He was thorough in giving instructions, and gave us great site seeing tour directions because we had never been there and they were to the letter so we got a chance to see everything he mentioned.

The boat had every Safty measure needed if by chance something was to happen, so I give this entire experience a 10 out 10!

Thanks again - Regina

Such an awesome experience. Ricky was so attentive, and made sure we knew where we were going, and what we were doing before letting us take off. I would rent from him again for sure.

Ricky and the boat are outstanding!!!!!!

The boat was simple but clean. Everything worked perfectly. The communication and service by Ricky was exceptional. We would definitely rent from him again!

Ricky, thank you. My family and I had a great time.

My friends and I had a blast on Ricky’s pontoon for Memorial Day weekend. The boat was immaculate and had everything we needed. We also chose to include the tube rental which the kids really enjoyed. Ricky was a welcoming and accommodating host, super cool guy and very informative. We will be repeat customers, for sure!

We had such a great time on the water we had to cancel my original date because of the rain. Ricky was great he let us change the date it was so nice out there

Ricky was an excellent host! He was very knowledgeable about the water and very informative about spots to sight see! We had a question about the boat while were out on the water and he was very quick to respond. The boat was clean and well kept and easy to drive (sail?). Highly recommend!

My family and I had a great time on the water on Ricky's boat. Ricky is a great host, he is very flexible and great communication. Highly recommended !

We had a wonderful afternoon on the water! Ricky was timely, responsive to all our questions and made sure we had everything we needed before we left. My only comment is to be prepared to put in a little workout steering the boat and using the throttle- both were tight. Overall though, we had a great time and would absolutely rent again!

Ricky was a wonderful host. He provided us everything we needed and asked for and went above and beyond expectations. We had a lovely time on the boat and would 100% use them again.

Ricky was excellent with the whole experience. Very thorough with the walkthrough, which we appreciated. Maps, pictures, etc. The boat isn’t fast. But there isn’t really a ton of need for it to be. It was perfect for our leisure cruise. Will definitely book with Ricky again in the future.

Ricky was extremely professional and kind from the beginning of my making the reservation to us pulling the boat back into dock on the day of our reservation. He was highly responsive to my messages and any concerns I had. I'm new to the area and not only did he explain the entire boat to me and how to drive safely but gave me a million pointers on where in the bays to go. It made for a relaxing, fun, and soul-revitalizing day on the bay. He is the one to choose for your next adventure!

I made this boat trip a surprise for my family. They loved it. The shade under the hot Sun and the tube were great ways to cool off. Would absolutely do it again!

The owner was very nice and worked with is

My family had a great time on the water yesterday thanks to Ricky allowing us to rent his pontoon boat. He was energetic explained what we needed to know, very kind, and very laid back! Thank you Ricky!

Everything was perfect. Such a kind patient guy. He explained everything well as it was my first time boating. Thank you Rick!

Ricky was really helpful. We loved renting his boat. He set us up for a really fun day on the water. We would definitely rent from him again!

Wonderful experience

Still waiting on a credit for time not used. Boat was not ready when I arrived and we left at 1715. We were asked to return at 2030 due to ramp closing. We paid for 4 hours. Ricky stated he would take care of it. Ride was great but I feel cheated.

The best experience, Ricky is a wonderful captain and provides an amazing experience, will use his services again!

Our rental was very easy and Ricky explained things very thoroughly. Meeting up and getting started was easy. We very much enjoyed our time. Thank you.

Great boat ride!

Super helpful, friendly and accomodating!

Thanks Ricky, we had so much fun!! Pontoon boat rental was affordable in addition to Ricky providing great points of interest!

Ricky was a great host! He made sure my friends and I were taken care of and answered all my questions! 10/10 recommend booking with him!!

Everything was perfect! Ricky explained everything in great detail and provided us with maps. My family had a great time on the water. We even got to see dolphins feet away from us. The boat is very and we could not have asked for a better experience.

I enjoyed my time and will definitely book another trip again

Rickie was great! The boat we great! We had the best time! Rickie gave us a whole run down of the water before we set sail and gave us great advice as to where to go. The boat ran great and had everything we needed. I HIGHLY recommend and would absolutely do it again when we visit.

Amazing boating experience for my first time visiting Virginia Beach. Thank you.

Rick was a great host. He was there for all of our questions and gave us plenty of tips for our day on the water. The boat was clean and comfortable fur our trip. We had an excellent time and we will definitely book with him again.

Owner very pleasant. Earlier renters came back a bit later than expected, 15 minutes??? (The owner was prepared to extend my time but I didn’t want to). Was given lots of info re current tides / sandbars. Provided with plastic covered maps / aerial photos of river in addition to gps/sonar. Given recommendations re restaurants with docks, etc. It’s pretty expensive to rent a boat. Not sure I’ll do it again, but if I rent another one, I’ll be happy to rent again from this owner.

We had a fantastic experience! There were 9 of us on the pontoon boat (2 families, with kids ages ranging from 5-15). Ricky gave us a great briefing on safety procedures, oriented us on the area and gave us maps. Kids had a lot of fun - enjoyed sightseeing, fishing and swimming. We definitely had a ton of photos and videos! There were a lot more we could have explored. The boat was clean, comfortable for all of us, and even got all the cool gadgets for a pleasurable experience! Thanks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great everything!!!

Boat has a cover to help keep you cool. The boat is a little low to so if it’s windy the floor may get wet. I wouldn’t recommend bringing more than 5 adults. It was a great few hours on the water. The bay is also a nice place to ride around.

Ricky was very helpful and knowledgeable and we had an absolute blast

Ricky was great!

We have rented with Reel Blessed before. Always the same great service, quality boat, and safety ready. Ricky is a terrific individual - very considerate. We always recommend his boats to friends, family, and other military veterans. Boats run well, all equipment is in good working order, maps are clear, and supplies needed for a great day are available.

Amazing owner and boat. I Was able to enhance my out of town family’s VA vacation by spending the day on the water thanks to Ricky and his boat. Easy to operate, clean… communication was consistent….my family can’t stop bragging on the experience they had… I would rent this boat again.

What a perfect boat trip! Ricky was great in his communication prior to our trip and we could not have asked for a better boat owner to deal with. The pontoon boat was great also. This was a birthday gift for my wife and Ricky and his son made the day perfect for all of the family! Thanks to both of you and we’ll be looking to rent again!

Ricky was great to work with! He was very flexible and accommodating, and his boat was very comfortable and came with some nice accommodations like bottled water and a detailed map to get around. He was also quick to communicate during the booking process which we appreciated. We had a blast renting his boat and would highly recommend. Thanks Ricky!

If was a great time by all.

Ricky couldn't provide shirtsleeve weather and no wind, but that was the only thing that wasn't excellent for our 4-hour rental. Ricky was there well before the 10:30 start. He explained all the boat features (particularly regarding safety) and went over possible routes using nautical maps. He alerted us to sandbars and appropriate channel usage. We finished our day early so I texted him. He was there just about when we pulled in. Price was great for the value received. Will use again.

Great experience! Ricky was fantastic, and the boat handled well. He gave us all the tips for where to go and what do on the bay. He even had a binder on board with all the phone numbers for pier side restaurants.

Great 4th of July 2023 thanks mr.ricky highly recommend this charter

Boat was clean and spacious and had everything we needed but was just a little underpowered for our liking. Still fast enough to pull a tube though. Ricky was a pleasure to work with.

My family and I had a great time on the water. Ricky, you were a blessing to us, hope to do it again soon.

Was able to fulfill a birthday wish for one of the most important people in my life😁 Ricky was super accommodating and very informative about his vessel and the area. Overall great experience. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time on Ricky’s pontoon! We will definitely book again.

We had an awesome experience with Ricky and a great time on the boat. Everything was exactly as you would hope when renting a boat. Ricky had the boat ready to go and gave a complete rundown of everything including maps, suggestions on where to go and what to do, and safety info. We would definitely rent with him again.

Ricky was awesome. Super responsive, very informative of the waters, told us exactly what to do to maximize the day! It was a great time with my family. Thank you!

Had a great time fishing thanks to ricky. Lots of good spots, we even caught a shark! We were having a few issues with our boat so he personally drove to us and gave us another one to use. Great dude. Definitely recommend.

Everything you need for a fun day on the water at a great price. We had a great time, and will be sure to book again next trip here. Thanks!

Ricky was extremely nice. We came a little late to our scheduled time but he still let us have it for the full 4 hours! Ricky was a great host with a great boat. 10/10

We want to thank Ricky for explaining everything and for a wonderful family experience with memories that will last a lifetime

Ricky was an exceptional host and we had the best time out on the pontoon!! Ricky was generous and very informative, and we’ll definitely be renting again!

Ricky was great! Very responsive & flexible. The pontoon was exactly as described. He provided great instructions & directions around the bay. We also rented a grill & ice chest that was perfect for hamburgers, hotdogs & kabobs. This was my first time renting on a boat on here & he made it very easy & comfortable. I’d definitely rent again from him.

Godfrey Marine Sweetwater boats are pure excellence! The quality, comfort, and performance are unmatched. Owner Ricky goes above and beyond — his passion, knowledge, and genuine care made our experience unforgettable. He treated us like family and ensured every detail was perfect. If you want top-tier boats and world-class service, Ricky and the Sweetwater team are the absolute best. Highly recommend — this is where your dream on the water begins!

We came from TX and would do it again. 5stars

Highly Recommend Ricky and his boats...we had a pontoon and Ricky couldn't have been any nicer...such a great experience. 👍

Ricky was an unbelievable host. Gave us a full run down of the boat and the locations that most people go to. It was sooooooo easy and convenient. Will definitely be using Ricky for future outings 👌

Ricky was an outstanding host. He gave us great directions to navigate the inlets and told us about all the best stops. He was flexible and accommodating. The boat had a blue tooth stereo which was a nice bonus! We ate at Chicks and had our own waitress for the boat- we never even had to get out. Will be renting many more times in the future!

Another year, another great trip on Ricky's boat! Exceptional customer service

We had a great time on the boat, he told us where everything was when we picked up the boat, 10/10 would use this boat again!

Rickey was helpful and very friendly. The boat was clean and ready for us on time. I would highly recommend his boat services.

Ricky was responsive, accomodating, extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
It was an awesome time on his boat!

Ricky was very helpful in getting details ironed out after a prior trip had to be rescheduled. He was extremely responsive to questions. Directions and hints on spots to visit and good places for a pull-in were super helpful. Will definitely book again.

We had a great afternoon in the boat. Thanks for everything.

We enjoyed an excellent all-day fishing and cruising trip with the pull-behind float added on. The 2 grandsons just loved being pulled behind the boat - it was their first time. The price was reasonable, the location for pickup was excellent. The engine started easy every time, no issues during our day. Plenty of space, plenty of life jackets, and a great day in the sun!

Ricky was an awesome and very knowledgeable host and would definitely use him again. Highly recommended for your boy rentals

We receive the best tutorial and guide before taking off on the water. Very nice boat and owner!!! Thank you! We will book again!

Had an amazing day on Ricky’s pontoon. He gave a great safety rundown, shared local tips for fishing, and the boat ran perfectly. Highly recommend!

recently had the pleasure of embarking on a private boat tour with Captain Ricky at the helm. Originally, we had booked the boat without a captain, but after hearing about the bay’s layout, we decided to entrust Ricky with our voyage. And what a fantastic decision it turned out to be!
From the moment we stepped aboard the , we knew we were in capable hands. Ricky’s warm welcome and extensive knowledge immediately put us at ease. He put our safety first. Will use him again!!

Excellent time on the water..boat was great and well equipped..exactly what we expected

The owner of the boat was very helpful in giving us directions about things to see on the water as well as places to avoid. He made sure we knew all the features of the boat and how to operate it correctly and also offers several other rentals. We rented a tube for the day and had a blast I would definitely recommend him and would rent from him again in the future.

It was an amazing experience!

Great trip. Boat is good condition. Ricky took time to explain everything. It was a wonderful experience. Would definitely use them again

We were able to pair our phone up to the Bluetooth speaker to play music and make it even more enjoyable. We will definitely be renting again in the future.

I Always have a good time renting from Rick! He makes everything so easy

Everything was as advertised

Ricki was awesome! He was so kind and helpful. The boat was great beautiful setting and we had a great time.

Great boat! Very helpful! We had a lot of fun!

Ricky was great in communication and adjusted his schedule for a last minute booking. He met us in the parking lot with a cart to help us transport our things to the boat. His customer service was excellent, explained the boat features and provided excellent advise on where to go. Pricing is fair, and we had a great time. Perfect for families.

Ricky was great! Our family had such a nice time on the water. He was super helpful and there to help if we needed it. Will definitely be renting from him again.

Great time with family.

Perfect trip, great host!

Quick backstory,the boat owners tow vehicle broke down 3 hours before my rental.

My time on the water was lovely. The boat was nice and clean. Ricky instruction and tour information was right on point. I look forward to my next rental with Ricky.

Ricky was great to work with. The communications through Boatsetter was a bit difficult. Much easier for to communicate directly with Ricky via text, vs. the Boatsetter email system.

Amazing day that needs credit given to Ricky! Thank you for making my day with my family special!

A group of friends and I rented this boat for my friend's birthday and it was so much fun. The boat was in great condition, we had no issues operating it, and the owner Ricky is so kind and helpful. We rented the boat from 5-9 and got to see a beautiful sunset. Would definitely recommend anyone rent the boat for a birthday or special event! Will definitely be renting from Ricky again in the future!

We enjoyed a great time on the water. Ricky was really helpful with instructions and guidance regarding where to go and what to avoid. The boat is older but is well maintained and worked perfectly.

Ricky was very knowledgeable about his boat and the area. When we arrived he showed us what we needed to know about the boat and gave us a comprehensive list of things to do and where to go. We did have a small problem with the boat (which may have been due to user error) and Ricky came right away to help us out, and gave us the time back that we spent addressing the issue. No complaints from us, we would definitely rent from him again

The pontoon boat was clean and comfy - perfect morning to cruise Linkhorn Bay and Crystal Lake area. Nice, relaxing 4 hour trip and Ricky gave us thorough safety instructions and easy to read maps so we could navigate from the 64th St. boat ramp and see lots of fun sites.

Super easy to sign up. Ricky did a great job walking through where to go and what to do. Easy transaction, great instructions, awesome day out on the water.

As usual, the experience was awesome! Been coming back to this same booking for 3 years now, due to the customer service of Ricky, the views and the boat itself. Love the upgrades too!

Ricky is a super great guy and easy to work with. I like renting from him because he is such a great person.

Great customer service from Ricky, boat is nice and affordable and does the job, everything worked on it we probably put a good 20 miles on it all day

very kind person, the truth is, a very pleasant experience
