Our boating experience with Captain Ben was exceptional. His boat exceeded our expectations and was a lot of fun. Captain Ben was well experienced, easy going and made us all feel safe and at ease. Highly recommend, we certainly hope to ride with him again.

Capt. Ben was an excellent host, excellent driver; we had excellent weather; the booking process was simple, (not transparent from the rental company's end since fees were added just after I clicked ready to book, as in confirming, vs. when making the selection). It was a very good day!

Captain Ben is awesome! He took our group of 5 out on the Fourth of July and we had a blast. The boat is very spacious and clean - the bathroom onboard was also a great perk. Communication was great, absolutely no issues. Great host!!

Ben was a great captain and made sure we had a fantastic day on the water exploring canals through St Pete, watching the air show, and even spotting dolphins 🐬!

Our trip was amazing from start to finish! Ben was so easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to messages after booking. He made great suggestions on where to go during our 4 hour trip, and offered us multiple convenient locations for a smooth pick up and drop off. Skilled captain with great, friendly energy (even had a cooler with ice ready to go when we met). The boat was perfect for our 6 passengers with tons of lounge space - we will be booking with him again for our next outing!
