This includes a Boat Bed and Breakfast. 3) The owner of the vessel may NOT be the vessel master or part of the crew. The vessel owner is not allowed on board during a charter. 4) A bareboat charter contract may not provide or dictate a crew. The charterer must be able to select a crew and have the ability to discharge the crew. 5) The charterer is not considered a passenger, and there can only be one charterer, even though the vessel may be chartered by several individuals. In this case, one person would be considered the charterer and the rest would be counted as passengers From corporate outings, birthday parties, bridal & bachelor, to weddings, lunch & dinners, photo & film shoots, and business meetings to just going on a relaxing & fun luxury cruise.

Booking with Eric was a fantastic experience. Both him and his captain Mark were incredibly punctual, kind and accommodating. Booking was very easy and communication was excellent. The boat was very well taken care of and very clean. We highly recommend booking with Eric and will do so again if we are ever back in this area. We had a great trip with a beautiful sunset and view of beautiful dolphins.

We had the absolute best time during this boat rental!! Eric was very communicative and quick with responses, and we really felt taken care of! Mark, our captain, was amazing and he really went above and beyond for us. I 100% recommend this service and especially booking with Eric to anyone who wants to have a blast on the water!!

Eric is very knowledgeable of the area and gave us an unforgettable experience. We started the day leaving on time and with a spotless and fully prepared boat, with toys and a powerful motor that took us to crab island at no time. He was constantly monitoring a thunderstorm nearby, and we felt completely safe. His boat had plenty of space to accommodate our three families party. We would definitely rent his boat again!

We had a awesome experience with Eric and his team. He was incredibly responsive to my questions and since he is a new start and didn't have reviews, he was willing to endure all my questions. His captain was Christopher and both had significant experience that I felt safe and in good hands given I have small kiddos. The itenerary was left up to us, however Chris gave suggestions when needed and history of the area. The boat was brand new, spacious with plenty of seating, had 2 large biminis which was great as we traveled in August. I have 2 small kids (18mo, 5y) and we brought life jackets for them. We brought food on board and also stopped for lunch. We had options for pick up at the different marinas which was nice as were staying in Santa Rosa Beach. We left out of Baytown which had a lot of parking (free). He is getting rafts for the kids which will be great. We didn't necessarily need them, though will be nice to have just in case. We travelled with my inlaws (70s) and the kids, and the ride was smooth and fun. Saw dolphins, hermit crabs and lots of different kinds of birds on the trip. Very relaxing to be on the water this way. Would highly recommend Eric and his team, and look forward to future vacation trips! Thank you!
Boat owner: Eric went above and BEYOND expectations! I did a last minute reservations. Less than 24 hour notice! Eric communication was perfect! He was very helpful and knowledgeable! He made accommodations to meet us at a closer location! He adapted quickly to last minute changes! He is very flexible! The captain Mark was a absolute pleasure! Boat: Very spacious and comfortable for a big party. The speaker were essentially for our party. Your phone can easily connect to the Bluetooth! With the shaded cover the heat was very manageable! We felt a breeze all day in the beginning of August=a big win!! However , the shaded cover is optional. It gives the perfect amount of sun. The cup holders are a extra bonus. Also, there’s extra storage under the seats 😁! I don’t want to book with anyone other than Eric! We will definitely be back!
I've always enjoyed water and anything that has to do with being around it. As a local in the Santa Rosa Beach, Miramar Beach area of 30 years, I'm living my dream. I'm excited to share what never gets old... that turquoise water and white sand. That's what brought me here from Michigan in the first place! I look forward to sharing my little piece of paradise with you!
