Jon was great to coordinate with. He helped me make my day special with all the pre-planning. Boat was in great shape and we loved all of the extra water gear. I hired Jason as my captain. Jason showed us a great time. We saw a school of dolphins!! such a great day.

We had a wonderful, fun, memorable experience! Jon was easy to work with and Captain Ron was amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were a large bachelorette group and Jon and Ron were so accommodating and fun! The boat comes with great amenities. Thanks!!!

Completely satisfied with this experience! The boat was amazing and had shade all around, and came prepared with two coolers, a speaker, a trash can, floats and so many more essentials that made this experience a breeze! My family and I loved it and got to relax and turn up so comfortably! Highly recommend! 10/10

We first went to book a similar pontoon with the double slides through trip shock. Then we cancelled and booked directly through double fun. Then we cancelled and booked with Jon Preston and hired Captain Mike! We cancelled the first two due to inacccuracy of listing and then second thoughts of driving the boat ourself with the strong winds and currents that were occurring. Not only did we save money but our safety was never jeopardized! Originally we were bummed out and nervous about having to cancel and reschedule hiring a Captain but ultimately going with Jon & Mike was the best experience! When we visit Miami we have a Captain friend we hire as well and Jon & Mike were equally pleasant and fun to do business with even though we didn’t person Know them! Jon P. The Owner was fantastic at getting us all set up, scheduled and meeting us st the dock at the start, introducing us to Captain Mike and then again meeting us back at the dock for unloading upon our return. Captain Mike was excellent all around and a very cool guy! Very informative and you can tell his 25 years of experience was displayed in his knowledge of the boat, the waters and other info he shared along the way! Not your typical boring tour guide/Captain! We highyl suggest booking with these two!

I am a ship captain, and wanted a nice boat to spend a day on the water with my grandchildren. Luckily I came across Jon's web link and inquired about chartering one of his vessels. Jon is totally dedicated to his customers and goes all-in to make sure their day on the water is going to care and trouble free. He answers any and all your questions to make your day as pleasant as possible. The equipment is in top notch condition without the gawdy 'Rent Me' signs and billboards. Go with Jon Preston and you'll a wonderful day!
