They were awesome!

We arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule as requested, and the team got us out quickly onto our boat, which was clean and ready for our day!

Perfect Experience

I would come back and rent again. Everyone was nice, helpful and thorough, keeping me informed. Couple of things I would consider changing…Put the boat operation and safety video on your website, make it easy and available, unable to view it. Once the waiver and the link expires, you can’t go back in make changes or corrections. A staff member sent me the link after request, this saves us both time and money and could be avoided. The video is very helpful and should be readily available and viewed as many times as needed for a first time boat operator or especially an inexperienced boater. Also, I suggest putting the rental insurance options early on and BOLD print, not buried in the fine long winded print. Makes you feel blind sided when you get to the window to pay… people don’t like $$ surprises ($75-$500) A final thought is some of the wording about if staff has to come get the boat “for any reason” is not at all warm and fuzzy felling to the customer. Sometimes boats just break down and have issues out of the control of the customer. Hopefully this is not the case. If so, you should revisit this policy. 

Thanks!

Professional

I have used them several times and  have excellent customer service. Super helpful and always friendly. Would recommend a million times.

We rented a double decker boat with double slides for 8 adults and 4 kids. The check in process can be a little stressful so be sure to arrive at least 30 before departure time. The boat was great and spacious. They got us on the water quickly and crab island was awesome. The entire group thought it was the highlight of the trip.

Mrs.

I booked a pontoon boat rental through TripShock, which apparently acts as an agency for individual rental operators.
When the rental I had chosen fell through, TripShock proactively found an alternate operator and made all the arrangements to switch my booking.
A woman from TripShock called me to let me know what was going on and answered all my questions, and TripShock followed up with e-mails and text messages. They even told me the best place to park near the marina.
Oh, and the rental from the replacement operator turned out to be less expensive than my original booking, so I got a partial refund, too.
Before I started, I was a little wary of booking through an agency instead of contacting individual rental operators directly. But I am so glad I went to TripShock.com. Their web site is a great place to find a lot of offers, and I can't say enough good things about their customer service.

Good boat, great customer service

Bethany Tibbets

Our 8yo daughter had the best day of her life, in large part to Captain Chan. She had really built up snorkeling in her mind, and he delivered on the perfect spot—with nets. He is friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and seems like a cool human. It was a wonderful experience for our group of 3.

Magical day snorkeling with Capt Chan

The boat was clean, the music was great, and the vibes were perfect. He took care of everything so we could just relax and enjoy the water. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be booking with him again!

We were the group of Bachelorettes that were lucky enough to get paired with Nick and Kayla! We had the best time on our charter to Crab Island. The boat was clean and roomy, and had tons of floats and stuff for outside of the boat we could use. Nick and Kayla were both amazing. They went out of their way to make sure we had a fabulous time. They were both super knowledgeable of the boat and the area. Nick captained the boat perfectly, while Kayla was our very own marine biologist, finding us shrimps and nonchalantly grabbing the occasional Jelly fish to get it away from our party. Our theme for the trip was Bow's and they even hung a big bow on the boat for us!! Crab Island itself is awesome, but Nick and Kayla made the day truly rememberable. Thank you guys, we had the BEST Day with Ya'll.

Bow Bachelorettes

Our captain and first mate were great! We had two infants on board, and 7 children that they accommodated to perfectly. They got us to and from crab island quickly and made sure we had the best time. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing time!

Captain Luke and partner were great, helped with anything and had fun experience. Will be back
