Pavel

Had such a horrible experience! I rented this boat for a bachelorette party and when the day came, the weather was inclement and it was not safe boating conditions. We even have text messages from the captain agreeing that the weather was bad yet the captain nor Boatsetter would refund us our money. After complaining multiple times they offered $100 credit for a trip that was over $500. Ridiculous

Very communicative, super smooth process to retrieve and return the boat. Boat was in great condition and the location was close by things to sightsee, an awesome sandbar and little islands. Would definitely rent again!

We rented a trimaran and we got a pontoon. The boat was not in the best shape. Max rpm on the motor 3800 rpm. The captain chair loses pressure and goes down. Overall the fabric of the boat is clearly visible used and will require some work.
All the ropes are full of knots which makes them difficult to use.

Booked this charter for my mom and her 2 best friends. They had an incredible experience. The boat was spotless, beautiful, nice, and extremely comfortable. The captain was fantastic, accommodating, knowledgeable, fun, and kind. They had the best time. Will book again!

First time using Boatsetter and it was an amazing and easy experience. Pavel was flexible with times and punctual,there was someone waiting at our departure and return. Was a great day on the water just 15 mins away from some beautiful spots on the intercoastal

We never went out. Weather stormy with white caps and gusty wind. Since this is only a pontoon, we asked the owner Pavel to give us a credit for later on, and he refused. We never used the boat but he charged us never the less. It would have been easy to allow us the credit.

Great boat and easy to rent. Service from Pavel was great! will rent more!

Here new pontoon, Pavel explained everything. All perfect. Thank you.

We had such an amazing time! Ritchie, our Captain was amazing and friendly! Definitely can’t wait to do it again. Amazing time and service! Prompt, clean and comfortable.

Nice and clean …perfect and confortable

Everything was great. Our captain Manny was amazing. He went beyond our expectations. Thank you.

Excellent boat great condition
We had lots of fun

Best

The overall trip was amazing (weather wasn't too great but our captain made sure we still had an amazing, fun. safe trip)! Richie was our captain and he was so informative and took us on a long tour to show us all of the houses and boats. He made sure we had music and options since the sandbar was high tide. We had a great time and recommend this company to anyone in the area looking to have some fun!

Rented for daughter's b-day. We had a great time on the Sandbar.Great service, Andrei was our captain.

Pavel was on time and very helpful. Boat was easy to operate. Cruised around biscayne bay and anchored and went swimming on the bal harbour sandbar. Location was easy to find.

We had a great time, check-in was smooth and the boat was just as described - would definitely do this again!

Pascal was great! Easy communication

Good trip

Pavel was great, offered a quick response to all my questions and his team made sure we had a good and safe time. Great service.

Great boat and location

Highly recommend. Very easy experience renting 2 pontoons with Pavel, good community and the vessels were in great condition. We’ll be back!

Had a great time, boat was nice a clean. Onsite person was very informative and friendly.

Had a great 4 hour trip on the boat. The reservation and check in were so easy and smooth!!

The boat was great, Andrew was punctual and friendly.

The cooler was in poor condition, with no plug, and was rundown.

We paid $120 for a full tank upfront, but the gauge showed under 3/4 after take-off. I was concerned about making it back and kept myself from going to other places because of it.

I was supposed to get back by 5p, but I made it back at 5:45p I was charged for an extra hour. I understand I was late, but all things considered a small break would entice a return customer.

We had a wonderful time the captain was very nice n took us where we wanted to go I will be book wit dem again my bday was everything thanks to y’all

Great time on on the water. Wasn’t my first time with Pavel and Marcos and wont be my last. Captain Marcos was awesome!

Excellent service. Pavel was quick and responsive and very accommodating. overall we had a good time renting the boat.

Great service and very nice boat!

Great boat, easy rental

Wonderful day on the water. Pavel is easy to work with and everything was super smooth.

We had a great time. Boat was delivered early and was very enjoyable to drive. Pavel’s associate who delivered it was very nice. I would definitely rent again from Pavel. The price was reasonable compared to other options. The boat was in good shape for its age. It was more a 4.5 than a 4 and I would have given a 5 but depth finder was broken and the cooler to step on to get into the boat was a little tenuous.

Pavel was awesome. Excellent communication from day one. We had 10 guys for a bachelor party and figured this would be a great activity for one of the days we were visiting. We had an absolute blast, and would definitely rent from Pavel again in the future. The pontoon was like brand new, and was perfect for our day on the water. It was more than we expected!

Renting with Pavel was a great experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an honest and easy going rental process. Pavel had the boat ready to go in the water at our agreed upon departure time. Pavel was also ready on time to retrieve the boat and keys at the end of our 4 hour trip. The boat was presented as advertised in great condition and worked flawlessly during our trip. I would definitely rent again from Pavel.

We had a great time on Pavel’s boat, would definitely recommend!

Everything was good overall. Mr. Pavel was professional and responsible. The only thing that was a little unpleasant was that there were no anchor in front of the boat and they thought we lost it. We reported as soon as we noticed it and at the end a new one was installed with no further issue. Just make sure to look at everything before taking the boat. Thank you

Excellent! We had a fabulous family day on his pontoon. Pick up and drop off was so easy. Highly recommend!! Thank you

Had such a fun time on the boat for a bachelorette I planned! The bride said it was the best part of her weekend. Our driver, Richie was super nice, helpful, and accommodating. The process to book the boat was easy and for a great price. I would 100% do this boat ride again!

Fantastic overall experience yet again on Pavel's boat.

Pavel made everything so easy!! Thank you!

Great atención, the boat very clean and he service was fantastic, we had a great time
For sure, I will do it again
Andres

I’d highly recommend renting this - such a nice vessel, brand new, easy launch location. Pavel and his team were great. Thanks!!

Great ride easy instructions enjoyed the sandbar

Really easy to work with. Incredibly clean boat. Very accommodating. Thanks Pavel!

Both the boat and captain Pavel were excellent. The boat was clean, comfortable, and ran great. Pavel gave us great recommendations on where to go and what to do. Fantastic day on the water and a great value. Five Stars!

Always a great time!!

It was such an amazing experience! We loved Captain Manny! We will book again!

Amazing

Label was fantastic, very easy to communicate with and very helpful. I highly recommend him.

The boat worked fine and we had a great day. The boat was not delivered very clean, busy period apparently, and the ice chest was full of water so though we emptied it we ended up not using it.

We had a great time. Took the ‘toon down to the picnic islands and the sand bar. Great day on the water. Very easy guys to work with. Bring cash for the gas though.

excellent as always

The boat was so much fun and our captain was great!

Good boat, in great shape and at a good price.

We rented the Pontoon boat from Pavel for 4h. We had a wonderful time and the person that was there was very helpful. Gave all the instructions and helped us getting all our stuff from the parking lot to the boat.
The marina is not easy to find the first time around, I'm really hoping to go again but finding the loop in the street to go under the bridge and then finding the marina, was not easy. Also, no bathroom in the area yet, but maybe when the marina is done in the near future?, there will be one. My kids were able to go in one of the buildings but it is not for public use.
I still give the experience 5 stars because the whole group and the boat was really good. Next time we are going out the full day!

Such a great time and the entire process was seamless! Thanks for being so communicative and for showing us a good time!

Excelente experience with my family. We had a great time in the sand bars when the tide was low. The boat in perfect conditions and Pavel was great host

Second time renting from Pavel. Another awesome experience. Thank you!

Boat shows a lot older than the pictures on the website. Also, the turnover was one group on top of another. Boat was rinsed prior to us boarding, but very rapidly and the seats were still very wet when we boarded. The whole process was very hectic. Granted, we booked it the that morning for that afternoon, but I feel that if it was too much to turn it around, it should not be offered. Finally, the itinerary we requested was not communicated to the captain. Captain Mike was cool and lay back so we had a good time regardless of our initial impression.

Very good

The pontoon was in excellent condition. Engine running smoothly. All clean and well maintained. Location of the dock is perfect either to go north or south of the intercoastal.

Great time! Pick up and drop off were easy.

Amazing experience. I live in Miami and had my family visiting and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. I would definitely hook again 😊

Great experience Ty 🙏

Helpful and friendly. The boat was as described. Looking forward to renting again. Thank you!

The boat was just as advertised and very clean and comfortable for my group. Pavel was an awesome communicator, very accommodating and offered a great price. I would definitely recommend Pavel over any other options in Miami.

We had a great time with Richie as our captain. Highly recommend!!

Boat was great. The ppl running the biz were great. Would rent again

great captain. would definitely book again!

We rented Pavel's pontoon boat for a bachelorette party back in August of 2017 and it was the BEST part of the weekend. Communication with Pavel was amazing and fast. He answered all my millions of questions without hesitation. The day of the event our captain greeted us and took us to where we requested (the sandbar) and it was amazing. He was SUPER nice and gave us tips on where to park the boat and even stopped to get some fresh ceviche from a nearby boat. He also blew up the floats we brought and helped us deflate when we were done. The boat was very roomie for our group of 9 girls. Highly recommend this rental!

The boat is beautiful , and Pavel is an awsome person , everything was perfect.

Everything were perfect

We had a great experience renting this pontoon for the morning! It was a great price, pickup and drop off was smooth, and overall a wonderful time

Thank you to Pavel and Boatbound for such a great experience. From the beginning the process was easy and Pavel was very accommodating. The boat was exactly what we were looking for!! It fit 12 people comfortably and had enough space for food and drinks.

Pavel is great !! Boat is great in super condition !!! We had a ton of fun !!!

Pavel went above and beyond. Great time! Great boat!

The experience was good, except for a couple fo surprises. a $10/hr charge even thought we parked the boat on the sandbar most of the time. Other places charge you for the actual gas use. The second surprise was that Pavel took a picture of both sides of the credit card which includes the security code. That felt very shady and prompted me to have to cancel my card. When I texted him to ask why and to k=not do it in the future he said "he'll consider it." Companies do not keep records of the security code and he does. Watch out.

We had a wonderful time on our boat day! Communication and responsiveness was excellent and a great time was had by everyone in our group. Would definitely do this again and recommend booking this boat to anyone looking for a stress free day on the water.

The boat was awesome.there was plenty of room for 8 of us.
It was Easy to drive.
I recommend renting from this company.

Pavel's boat was in great condition and he was very helpful.

Marcos, our driver was phenomenal and showed us a great time.

Would definitely rebook with Pavel.

The boat day was great! We were 11 girls and we fit very comfortably, as well as enjoyed the great audio system the boat had to celebrate a bachelorette. Pavel was awesome, don't hesitate to get in contact with him.

We had a great day on the Pontoon Boat. Pavel was punctual, professional and a pleasure. We will definitely repeat with him

Everything was on time and the check in was seamless.
Boat is in an okay condition.
The only surprise we had was with the fuel charge. It didn’t say anywhere there is a fixed charge per hour.

Amazing day on the water! Great boat, easy to use and Pavel was easy to get ahold and work with!

We had a great time, thanks!

Great experience!

Amazing time on a super fun boat! Will be renting again, thanks 😊

Thank you Pavel for a great experience. Mo - was a great captain and we loved him! My mom had a great day on the boat celebrating her 70th!!!
We come down here a few times a year and have booked boats before but this was the best we had so far!
Thank you for being so responsive and we look forward to booking with you in the future. Cheers!

Everything was good, except for the gas payment ($15 per hour) when I only used less than one quarter. I returned the boat 2h before the time, and I paid $90 dollars for gas. In Panama City you rent the same boat and the full payment included the gas of the full tank, here you pay more for the rent plus gas. I will never rent it again.

Always nice to meet with Pavel.

100% recommended!! Good service!!

Older boat but exactly what we needed. Really enjoyed our time!

We had a great time, quick check in, the boat looks like new, we cannot wait to do this again soon.

The boat was in reasonable condition. Pavel was excellent. It was a good afternoon activity for our family.

Captain was amazing! highly recommend getting the floating mat add on as well.

We had a great day out on the water with Manny- very professional and fun to be around.

He is gentleman, will be back

Awesome experience, great boat! Will definitely rent from again!

Thanks to Pavel for a beautiful family day!!
Excelent service!
I agree totally with SERG review!!!

Pavel was very professional and communicative. Pickup and drop off was very easy! The boat was nice, no issues or complaints. We had a really great time, I would definitely rent again.

J

Captain Oscar was great! Excellent boating day with family and grandkids!
Thanks Pavel!

Great service and perfect boat for sandbar trip.

Loved this tour! Peter, the driver, was very cool. Recommend this 100%.

Nice boat, easy process.

Great boat and service. Everything was perfect. Clean, safe and ready to go in a minute. 100% recommendable.

Pavel was very responsive and did what he said he would do when he promised. He was a pleasure to deal with.
The Bentley easily accommodates 12 passengers. On a few occasions we filled it up. The Bentley is a good boat for large groups cruising around the Intracoastal Waterway and the rivers and canals that feed into it.

We had a great time on the water despite getting soaked initially from some unexpected rain. The helper at the dock Andrii was great in helping us getting ready and gave us instructions and directions. The boat was big, clean and pretty comfortable. However it was NOT the same boat in the picture. It was rather old with a smaller engine. Handling wasn't that great. Also we were charged $120 for gas, which I think it was a bit expensive. Overall it was a good experience.

Great Boat, Great Experience!

Amazing experience - our Captain Manny was an absolute delight. Would highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful time. The entire experience was perfect, from the directions, to the onboarding process, to the boat itself. Thank you so much for a perfect day. We will book again!

Captain was great “Peter”. Really nice. Gave us a good tour.
Boat was in good condition. Price was good. Owner was very nice

Had an amazing day. Pavel was extremely helpful, quick to respond and pontoon was in perfect condition. Thanks Again!

We had a very good time in Pavel boat. He was very helpful and kind. Thank you!!!

Boat met expectations, communications was quick, and was easy to find boat location. Sufficient space for 10 people on the boat. Overall great experience.

My family and I rented from Pavel last weekend and it was a great experience. This is the second time we have rented with him. The boat is beautiful and clean. Pavel is a gem to work with. He answers any questions you have and his communication is top notch. We will rent again!

Everything excellent

Great Service! Loved the boat very spacious and has shade, even came with grill. The captain was nice and allowed us to have fun.

We had a great time and Pavel was very understandable as we had to change time frames due to weather. He worked with us and the trip was great!

we had a great time, the captain was fabulous, very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, we will be back for another trip for sure

Everything was awesome! The captain was good and when we wanted to stay over for another 2 hours, he facilitated and made it easy for us to continue our fun time. This is the second time I rented and can’t wait to do it again. Thank you!!!

Service from captain Moe was on point. Boat looks a little worn but overall it was perfect for what we needed. It was an awesome time

Pavel’s boat was very clean and easy to operate. He was very helpful in getting us docked and undocked. The bad had all of necessities for a fun family boating experience! I would definitely rent again.

Boat was great, clean and in perfect condition. They were on time and communicated constanrly

Had a great time! Thanks

Great boat and great guy to work with. We had a blast

Excellent!!!! Beautiful and well maintained boat and amazing Captain Oscar!! We had a wonderful time! Thank you!

We had a group of 10 and had an amazing time! Boat is docked about 10 minutes boat ride to the sand barge by north beach Miami which was the place to be, it was perfect! Would book again

Boat was brand new and extremely clean. We didn't have any problems with the boat. Pavel was great to work with and made the process easy. Boat is in a very good location.

We had a fantastic time and our driver Dio was so fun. Made for a great day!!

Good rent

Great people
Great service
Thanks l use again went
I coming back

Awesome time, great boat, great service! Thank you

Pavel was so professional. He was super prepared when we arrived and ensured we had everything we needed. Great trip great owner would rent again! Will rent again.
Thanx Pavel

Great experience! Very clean boat!

Renting this boat was perfect for our family. We had 5 adults and 3 children. We also rented a floating mat. The boat was very clean.

Nice clean boat, got engine, and two anchors. Great deal to me, and reasonable gas fee.

Pavel your the best. I’ve been renting from you for 3 years and never been disappointed. Can’t wait until the next one

Great boat and great owner.

Picture shows a 140 hp engine but it was 90. Boat only goes 15mph. That was very disappointing. Owner paid someone to be at the boat and wasn’t there himself so they couldn’t address my issues with the boat. All that person could say was I’m not the owner. At that point the boat is paid for so it’s take it or leave it. Boat not in great shape. Parking is far from boat. The radio worked well so that was positive.

We did a half day trip for a bachelorette party. Richie was our captain. It was a great time and our captain was very helpful, friendly, and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Pavel was super quick to respond anytime I had questions and our captain Mike was fantastic! He drove us around to see all of the famous people's houses and took us to Raccoon Island to feed the raccoons, so much fun!

Boat was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. Had a great time, will definitely be renting again.

Had an awesome time. Was definitely the highlight of my trip. I highly recommend this activity.

Excellent trip, easy all around, very enjoyable and efficient. We will rent that pontoon again!

This experience was amazing! Pavel was very easy to work with and he was quick to respond to all our questions. We had the best time with Richie as our captain.

Great boat, nice service, would rent from again !

Very good 👍

Pavel was very easy to deal with. He had a great time, and everything went smooth.

My wife, three kids, my sister, her husband, and their two kids had the best day ever! Pavel was awesome.

El barco fue excelente, todo función perfecto, ideal para paseo en familia

We had a good time. Our captain « Sysy » was very friendly and she took the time to describe what we were seeing. I recommend.

Great rental, Pavel was very responsive and the rental went well all the way. Would rent again!

We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience & fun. Joe was a very good captain.

Boat was in decent condition, not new by any means but we had a great time, they were very nice and made everything easy and smooth.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Pavel was super helpful and our captain Andre was amazing. Worth every penny

Great boat!

Super nice

Great boat and service

Had a GREAT time! Pavel 's boat was clean and perfect size for our group. Would recommend him!

Excellent trip.

Very professional and efficient service.
The boat was in a very good conditions

Pavel and his staff were very friendly and easy to work with. The boats worked as expected with no issues. We'd rent from Pavel if/when we're back in the area. Thanks guys!

Pavel was great. Very responsive, respectful, and a great boat and captain. Will definitely use him again!

Great time on the water. Robert, who works for boat owner was very helpful. Access to the sand bar was super close...

Andrei met us at the dock. Great public parking 100 feet away. Everything was smooth, great ride, great day on the water.
Thanks

Service and overall the experience was perfect. Our family loved our time and will do it again. We chose the 4 hr captain tour and it was a perfect fit for our big family. We loved our time on the boat with our experienced guide, Captain Marcos. He is so good at providing a safe and fun experience.
Also, Pavel was very responsive and the entire process was easy.

Pavel was soo helping since the beginning i had tons of questions and he answered them all without hesitation . I planned a big Company Event and wanted everything to go smoothly and he ensured that everything went well. I will recommend many and i know this wont be my last time

Hassle free rental! Great experience with Pavel!

Boat ran well. Some of the float throws are old and could be replaced. Owner very responsive to messages. Lost an item on boat, owner found it and messaged me to pick it up.

Pavel and his team were courteous and helpful. The boat was very clean and comfortable. We had a great time on the bay!

Was so much fun!! Manny our captain was great (: would book again

Amazing experience once again!

Pavel deserves 5 stars, because
1) respond time was less than 10 minutes.
2) great personality and easy to deal with.
3) the boat was clean, very comfortable and quite.
I recommend to everyone to do business with Pavel. My family had a great time and you will do too.

It was great! Thank you for everything!

Great Boat, my family had a great time, the boat was very clean, great price, very good customer service, fast response

Great time, a perfect day
Roberta the captain was very profetional and very nice person

Perfect!! The boat was in terrific shape, easy to drive, and very comfortable... even in moderate chop. Parking was easy and the dock was really nice. Robert -- the dock hand -- was a pleasure and did an outstanding job. I can't wait to rent this boat again to take my friends out for another lovely day on Biscayne Bay!

responds timely, great boat, fair price. can't complain.

Pavel was awesome and very easy to work with. He met us by the boat and explained everything to us and made the process simple. The boat was a large pontoon, importantly the adjustable cover provided a lot of shade for my family. Boat was well kept , large, and easily maneuverable. It’s not a speedboat, but it was perfect for going up and down the intracoastal with the family. 10/10 would book again with Pavel!

Such a fun time with my family. This boat was such a perfect size, the process went smoothly and the owner made us feel so welcomed. Would recommend 10/10. Communication was never an issue.

Amazing 4 hrs spent on the water with Levi Strauss. Thank you

We hired the boat for 4 hours for a bachelorette party. Our captain, Alex, was the owner and showed us a great time! He brought us to an island and showed us around the area.
We were able to play our music and they supplied a cooler.
The boat was super clean and comfortable.

The boat was perfect! I definitely recommend when boating with littles. I suggest parking closer if possible or Uber directly to the marina as there’s a major intersection to cross when using the gateway parking garage.

Good location, short ride to the Haulover Sandbar. Boat has heavy usage and at the time we rented the motor trim was not working, therefore making it very difficult to beach the boat on the sandbar or an island. Also the boat was not ready for our time slot rented, the previous renters were just getting off and the boat had to be cleaned up for us. Pavel did give us extra time at no cost to compensate for this. For the price, it was a overall worth it. Pavel was nice and courteous, just the boat could be in better shape, but again for the price we were ok with the minor boat issues.

The boat was perfect !! We had a great time and the captain was incredible with us, he took us around some very nice places

Pickup/drop off was easy and great communication! Charged for a tank of fuel but refunded what we did not use. Only 1 out of the 3 speakers worked, but would rent again.

excellent
