The easiest way to get on the water in Pinellas County is Marker 26. Special shout out to Danny who is an incredible asset to the team, making our boating experience seamless every time! We joined the brand new boat club, and the experience is 10x better than other large boat clubs. Boats are always available, easy to load up and we’re always on the water within minutes. If you’re looking for an affordable, simple boat club to join, Marker 26 is the best local options I found after researching for over 6 months!

Rented a boat looking forward to a nice day with our pontoon boat. Boat had mechanical issues and I was promptly refunded however, no other boats available. So disappointing. Giving 4 stars as Conner was super accommodating and the owner Jackson did respond quickly. We will try again another time!

We didn't have the experience that we were hoping for! However, after speaking to the owner Jack, he did the right thing and provided a partial refund that was fair! If we are in the area again, we may give them another try!

My husband and I rented a pontoon for 2 days. Jack was easy to communicate with and very responsive. When we got to the boat, Danny helped us bring our gear from our vehicle on board and answered all of our questions. The boat was clean and reliable. This is our second time renting from this trustworthy company and can’t wait to return. Thank you for a memorable boating trip and making it so seamless!

Marker 26 Boat club is the best family decision we made this year! We heard about it through friends who had just joined as well and decided to give them a shot. They just added a 3rd boat to they're boat club with around only 20 members! Making it easy to book reservations and get out on the water to make memories with our family and friends. The owner Jackson Sterns is great, giving additional training on the water to make sure we were comfortable and confident when taking out any vessel from the fleet. His team Danny and Doug have been amazing to work with as well. Helping out our group with loading/unloading and docking on every return! Highly recommend Marker 26 Boat club 10/10!

Family and I have rented boats from this place two times and both times were excellent experiences. They all have great service and are very friendly and helpful. The boats are nice and work well. The whole experience was very easy.
