Thank you again for a wonderful day.Posted on Lorie GarnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabulous boating experience! We were met in the parking lot by Jackson and Captain Andy. They were quick to offer assistance with our things. And tell us about the waters. There were 9 of us total. We proceeded to the dock. They helped us load our things. They brought ice, water, and a Bluetooth speaker for us. They asked what we would like to see/expectations on our cruise and off we went. We stopped on an island for shelling it was very private and beautiful! So many shells! Then on around to Clearwater. Captain was a wealth of knowledge about the history, sea life, and the area. Then we preceded to an area he felt we would see some dolphins. And sure enough we saw three dolphins! Continued on an headed back to the arena. We were met by Jackson back at the dock to offer assistance. We enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely book with them again!Posted on Scott & JenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danny is great. Boat was tip top.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish! Our party of four had an incredible day out on the water thanks to the team at Marker 26 Boat Rentals. From the moment we booked, communication was top-notch—clear, prompt, and professional. When we arrived, everything was ready to go, and the staff made us feel confident and comfortable before heading out. They gave phenomenal, step-by-step instructions on how to handle the boat safely and efficiently, even for first-timers. The attention to detail and patience they showed made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The boat itself was spotless, well-maintained, and ran perfectly the entire trip. We had a blast exploring the area and will definitely be coming back soon.
