    What a great experience !!
    Michael is your go to guy if you’re new to boating !
    Knowledgeable, friendly and professional !
    He took the time to show us around the boat, extensively !
    He gave us a couple great options for the launch location and was there half an hour early to make sure everything was perfect.
    The cooler with ice and drinks is the perfect illustration of his above and beyond mindset !
    Thank you Michael for your incredible customer service and for caring so much :)

    Michael made the entire experience from booking to pick-up an absolute pleasure. He communicated early and he’s positive upbeat personality made me feel at ease. Everything was like clock work. The boat was ready and included a full cooler or drinks everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend booking with Michael if you want a memorable and easy experience!

    What a great first experience on a boat in Tampa. Michael set us up on an amazing pontoon with some fantastic spots to stop along our journey. The kids all had a blast and we will be sure to book our next trip with Michael. Thank You again for helping us to make lasting memories exploring Tampa from the water.

    We had a great day with Michael’s Pontoon. It’s been so easy, he’s been punctual, flexible, friendly, overall super service. Michael’s definitely the guy to rent a boat with while you’re in St.Pete. He even had a cooler with ice and soft drinks for all of us. Boat was reliable and definitely spacious enough for our party of 6.

    The boat was very comfortable for our multi-generational group of 7 from age 5 to 76. The seating and space was perfect in every way - sunning, shading, moving around, viewing scenery, etc. The padded seats were very comfortable. A large ice chest was filled with chilled soft drinks and water. We had mentioned a desire to fish and snorkel and basic equipment (including bait) were provided.

    We had a very last minute booking first thing in the morning and Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make it work for us. We paid big money for a commercial dolphin tour last year but this year driving Michael’s boat we had our very own tour! They were diving in front of us, playing and chasing minnows around. We got to hit some islands and see some pretty cool shells. Will definitely rent again!

    I highly recommend Michael; he was kind, courteous and extremely helpful. I initially booked his "fast" boat and after speaking with him he told me that the Pontoon would fit my cruising needs; he worked with Boatsetter to make the change with no effort on my end. Also, I used the boat for 2hrs instead of the booked 4hrs and Michael worked with the Boatsetter to adjust the booking time and got me a refund. I cannot recommend Michael enough and I look forward to cruising with his boat again!

    We are SO thankful we found Michael on here! From the moment we decided to rent a boat, (before we even rented with him)he was very attentive and answered all our questions! He remembered intricate details of my family vacationing here which made them feel special and just made our full experience that much better! I had to make a last minute change, not only was Michael accommodating to our change he also walked us through what needed to be done. We took out his pontoon and had the best time!

We are excited to go back again and will only book with him. The boat was a blast! Ton of room (fam of 6), we tubed (at our own risk), made big splashes with the slide and upper deck and rocked out to some tunes on the badass sound system! Did I mention a bathroom- complete with a door! Was a perfect day!

We saw dolphins, watched the sun set, listened to our own music through the boat's Bluetooth stereo and felt incredibly safe and well care for the entire trip. I HIGHLY recommend Michael and his pontoon! When we come back to Florida we will definitely book with him again. I would do this over a crowded "dolphin tour" with strangers any day. Totally worth every penny!!

We will definitely be giving him a call when we come on vacation next year! Thanks Michael!

    Had a great experience on this boat with Captain Tommy! Michael was excellent in communicating with us before, during and after the trip! The only downside was that the Bimini top was ruined by the renters the day previous to us so we had to be out there in the full sun all day. Totally out of his control, but it did put a small damper on the day not having any shade. Otherwise would definitely rent this boat again!

    Michael was so helpful from start to finish. He had great advice and even adjusted our launch location to a much more convenient location for us. Will look for him to use for our next outing, for sure.

    Michael was amazing! We booked last minute and he still worked around our schedule and made it happen! it was my boyfriend’s birthday and he even had cupcakes waiting for us when we got back. I highly recommend, we had so much fun.

    We enjoyed our time on the water, and Michael was very helpful and generous with us, he gave us complimentary drinks for the trip and he also paid the fuel, but the pontoon looked old and the GPS was not working, but Michael set a savvy navy app on my device, it was easy and helpful, and the captain seat was changed with a very small one, and I would really like to sail with him again in the future, and I was very happy with the trip and my family and friends.

    We had an amazing time! The boat was clean and spacious and the slide had a crew of 30 years olds feeling like little kids again. Definitely recommend!
