    Derrick is the man. Had a great time on the boat and we would definitely rent through him again. Biggest perk with this boat was the anchor. Rental pontoons through marinas don’t have one which is a huge inconvenience.

    The boat has around 100 hp more than Marina for around same price. Boat is super comfortable, and rides like butter knowing how to drive a boat. Pulled tube and knee board, it was a lot of fun with 6 guys.

    Derrick was very easy to communicate with & accomodate our needs. The boat met all of our needs & we had a lot of fun. It was nice that we didn't have to worry about properly tying on the tube tbh lol. :) This boat rental really added alot to our family vacation!

    Our group of 8 had plenty of room to spread out in this large pontoon. We had a really fun time and felt like Derrick could not do enough for us. He was easy to work with and made sure we were all set for a full day of boating. The changing room was a nice surprise and having an anchor made it so much easier to enjoy swimming in a little cove we found.

    Thanks for making it a great day for our group!

    Couldn’t be more pleased with Derrick & his Aquatrax jet ski we rented. Derrick was real easy to work with and the jet ski ran Phenomenal all day without a single issue. Will definitely be renting again 👍🏻

    Me and 8 others used this boat 4th of July weekend. The boat ran smoothly with no problems, and it was perfectly comfortable for such a large group. The engine was strong enough to pull skis/tube. Also it rained for a little bit during the day, and Derrick was hospitable in providing some shelter for us on his other dock! He was a great host, he was thorough in explaining the operation of the boat, and he was flexible with our return time (which was great because of the rain). Great experience!

    Boat is good shape, everything works as it should and is a very comfortable ride for all passengers.
    From my estimates the boat gets about 2.5-3mpg which is excellent for how heavy/large it is. Plenty of power compared to average pontoon, the boat cruises at 20+mph with ease.
    Derrick was wonderful to deal with, we would 100% rent with Derrick again.

    Derrick's Tritoon was an absolute blast. We got the best value for our boat day with an amazing boat, cool toys, and easy set up. Gas price for about 6 hours of boating was about $100 at the Marina. Derrick gave us great advice and had great communication. We loved it!
