What Our Guests Say
Reviews from our Boatsetter guests
★★★★★
“This boat is beautiful! Much faster than I expected and comfortable seating for larger groups (we had 7). Lots of extras like a floating mat, noodles and tools to dig for shells. The owners were so nice and helpful. They communicated consistently throughout the process and made us feel welcome! I would definitely rent from them again.”

“Tom and Nicholas were very responsive, friendly and accommodating! We really appreciated the pickup close to where we were staying in Siesta Key and thoroughly enjoyed Jewfish Key Sandbar, dolphin sightings, and visiting the Bradenton Pier on Anna Maria Island for restaurants/shops. The included large splash pad and sand scoop/sifters were a big hit. Would definitely book again!”

“We had such a great experience renting the boat! Tom made the whole rental process super easy and was friendly, helpful, and great to work with. Our captain, Nicholas, was awesome — professional, knowledgeable, fun, and made sure we had an amazing time out on the water. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. We would absolutely rent from Tom again and highly recommend Nicholas as a captain. Thank you for such a fun and memorable experience!”
