Firstly, Nick is great to deal with and his communication, demo and recommendations are all first class. The boat was perfect for our group of 6 and was easy to pick up the operational after only a little time. Brilliant value and a day to remember for me and my family. Thanks Nick!

Charter 61' Viking Sport Yacht In Fort Lauderdale, Florida
We rented this boat through Captain Todd for a day trip down to the haulover sandbar. Our crew was Captain Paul and Yancy. Captain Paul was very knowledgeable and obviously has been doing this a long time. Yancy catered to our every need. He Carried our stuff and was super helpful in every way. Our baby fell asleep and we put her in the main bedroom. He checked on her constantly for us and made sure she was well cared for. The ONLY mild bummer I can comment on is that bc the boat is larger, they can’t physically get it very close to the sandbar. We were able to all jump in and swim and had a great time nonetheless. A strong swimmer surely could’ve made their way to the sandbar, but it wasn’t an option for our group with small kids. All in all, a great memory and highlight of our trip without question. Thanks again, captain Todd, captain Paul and Yancy!

2019 Rinker QX18 OB Bowrider for 8 People in Fort Lauderdale, FL
This was my first time renting a boat via the Internet. It went as smoothly as any of my experiences renting a car from an outstanding rental car company. Michael's associate Andy handled the rental for us. He was very friendly and helpful and made the whole process simple and straightforward. He also gave us excellent suggestions for areas to visit on the water. The boat was in great shape, exactly as represented and was perfect for our needs. The pickup location for the boat was centrally located and made for an excellent starting point for boating on the intercoastal and seeing the cruise ships in Port Everglades. We look forward to renting a boat from Michael again next time we come to Florida.

Amazing & Immaculate 40' Yacht rental in Fort Lauderdale, Boca, or Miami
We took a two hour cruise down the Intercoastal waterway. Our experience was awesome, starting with the first communication I had with Nona. She answered all questions promptly and completely. In the morning, our captain, Gary called to go over all of the specifics. He met us on time exactly where he said. It was just an awesome experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to travel on the intercoastal waterway in style. We will definitely go back.

Captain Todd and his Mate Yancy were terrific. They accommodated every request we made. We were able to extend our cruise so we did not have to skip any sights. Yancy was super ensuring we always were offed drinks or food. It was great being pampered for the day.

What a wonderful day with friends on the water. Nick was super easy to work with and the boat was clean. The boat was a bit slow — given that most of the area is largely slow zones it wasn’t a big deal, but an experienced boater may find it a bit annoying.
