I recently had the pleasure of spending a day aboard this beautiful yacht, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality by a professional and attentive crew. They made sure every detail was taken care of, ensuring our comfort throughout the day. The yacht itself is stunning—luxuriously designed, well-maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate our group comfortably. The interiors are elegant and equipped with every amenity we could possibly need. The outdoor areas are perfect for lounging, dining, and taking in the breathtaking views. Our time on the yacht was both relaxing and memorable, thanks to the crew’s excellent service and the captain’s expertise in navigating the local waters. They took us to the most beautiful and serene spots, making the experience even more special. Overall, our day on the yacht was truly wonderful. I highly recommend this yacht for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience on the water. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure on board.

I've had the pleasure of renting this boat for my birthday celebrations two years in a row, and each experience has been nothing short of fantastic! The boat is in impeccable condition, clean, and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and enjoyable ride on the water. The captain and crew are incredibly professional, friendly, and accommodating. They go above and beyond to ensure that every guest has a memorable experience. The captain's knowledge of the local waters is impressive, and they always find the best spots for swimming. The boat itself is spacious and well-equipped, with ample seating, a great sound system, and all the necessary safety equipment. Whether you're looking to relax and soak up the sun or enjoy some water sports, this boat has everything you need for a perfect day on the water. I can't recommend this boat enough for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a day out on the water. I'm already looking forward to booking it again for my next birthday!
Our experience from beginning to end was nothing but extraordinary. Captain Malik and Ron were very accommodating to anything our party needed. Our group had an excellent time and will be returning again in the future. My only issue was not mentioning the mandatory captain fee up front. It wasn’t an issue because we had the cash but it was something our party wasn’t expecting at the end of the trip. Other than that hiccup it was a great time on the water.

This was my first time renting a boat and Michael made the entire process so smooth. He answered all my questions and was very helpful. The boat was better than the photos show and the assigned captain/crew were awesome. 100% recommend and will be booking again!
We enjoyed the boat ride a lot, and it was such a perfect experience! Captain Michael and his team were amazing - The team was super friendly, accommodating, and responsive to messages/questions. I highly recommend booking with Captain Michael and his team!!
I am excited to be a part of the GetMyBoat movement in making boats more accessible and affordable to others. I hope to get out on the water more and help boating grow!
