Reviews for Captained Sandbar Hopping Boat Charter in St. Pete Beach/John’s Pass

We reserved this boat to scatter our loved ones ashes. The captain was very sensitive to the situation, very informative of the waterways and maintained communication and contact with everyone in our party. Although it was to scatter ashes we found some joy throughout the ride. We encountered quite the storm during the boat ride and the captain was well in control and patient with what we came to do. We will definitely call him again for other events and through happier times. Thank you so much for the day that was more than we expected. Pamela Wilson and family

I went to St. Pete with my family for a boat ride, and it was truly a beautiful, pleasant, and fun experience. Many thanks to Captain Derek for the service and for being such an excellent host.🫶🏻 …

Captain Derek!! Thank you SO much for making our bachelorette boat day seriously the best!! 🥹🛥️🍒 You brought such amazing energy from the second we got on the boat and made the entire day so much fun!!!! We also really appreciated how safe and comfortable you made everyone feel while still keeping the energy up and making sure we had an unforgettable time!! You truly went above and beyond and were such a huge part of making this one of the best days of the whole bachelorette trip. We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better captain!! Thank you again for everything you’re AMAZING!! 🤍⚓️🥂

Captain Derek is just the best!! We booked for a bachelorette party and had the best time. Super chill dude, and went the extra mile to make our experience the best. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a great time, man got 20 years in the industry!!! Can’t recommend him enough!

We had such an amazing time celebrating my birthday on the boat! The whole experience was so much fun, relaxing, and definitely one to remember. Captain Derek was awesome and catered to all our needs. The boat had everything we needed, the views were beautiful, and he made sure we were comfortable and having a great time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking again

BEST BOAT DAY !!

We had the best boat day with Captain Derek!! Excellent communication throughout the whole process and day of. He has everything you need from coolers, speakers, and even games- he definitely knew how to keep the vibes high and make sure we were having nonstop fun! This ended up being our favorite part of the trip and I can’t recommend enough

Captain Derek is top notch! He took our family of seven (ages 6-22) out to St. John’s Pass Sandbar for the evening. It was the best part of our vacation. The boat was well equipped with water toys/games, a lily pad floating mat, iced coolers and of course the amazing water slide! He went out of his way to make our time memorable. Already planning a second trip out with him!

We came to Florida and did Disney, a beach house on siesta key and a pontoon boat ride with Derek and endless summer. The boat ride stole the show by far! It was our and the kids favorite part of the trip! No need to bring your own floats, beach toys, etc., they've got it all ready for you. They cater to kids and adults equally well. Don't think twice, book this trip!

Captain Derek was amazing. He took great care of us, provided great information and education, and was so easy to talk to and fun! We had the best time and are so glad we did the excursion, 10/10 would recommend!

Derek was super accommodating, professional and great tour guide. I would recommend him to anyone. The boat was clean, had great amenities and spacious.

We had an amazing experience with Endless Summer Watersports! Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The captain was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The boat was spacious and very comfortable, and all the water toys were so much fun. The slide was definitely a highlight and a huge hit with everyone! We spent an unforgettable day on the water with family and friends. This is the perfect experience for large groups, and we would absolutely book again. Highly recommend Endless Summer Watersports to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable day on the water. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Captain Derek was awesome!! Highly highly recommend booking with him! The boat was clean and he had everything needed for the most perfect boat day!

Captain Derek unfortunately was booked for the time/date I wanted, but went above and beyond to find me another boat/captain to book instead! Great customer service, and very knowledgeable about the St Pete boat scene!

Amazing experience with Captain Derek, he was so knowledgeable, made all of us feel comfortable and have a great time! Perfect for a bachelorette or any group trip

I rented a boat from Derick for an afternoon going into sunset, and it turned into one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the start, his communication was on point—quick, clear, and super helpful with every question I had. What really made it special was how he helped me set up a surprise date for my girlfriend. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the experience his customers have, not just the rental itself. His hospitality was next level—friendly, easygoing, and just an all-around great person to be around. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which let me actually enjoy the moment. If you’re thinking about renting a boat, go with Derick. You won’t regret it.

I surprised my dad for his 52nd birthday by renting a pontoon boat rental for 4 hours. Being that we used to own one of our own and we would always go out of Fort Desoto, I figured this would be a great bday surprise. Everything went smoothly and they were very understanding and accommodated us when we were running late due to traffic. The boat was in good shape, the day went well, and we will definitely recommend this rental company to others needing a boat rental!

We had such a great time out on the water with Captain D in St. Pete! Super easygoing and fun the whole way through. The kids loved swimming and going down the water slide, and cruising around the intercoastal with the family was a blast.

Rented a pontoon boat for the day. Scott checked us in and was thorough explaining the systems of the boat. Safety, local rules and suggested cruise spots explained. Boat was in good condition and worked flawlessly. Upon return Scott met us at the gas pumps and helped us dock it. Quick debrief and we were gone. I would highly recommend Endless Summer Watersports. Will be renting from them again. THANKS Scott!

I booked a 13 passenger luxury boat with Derek! It was great; fit all 13 adults comfortably. Rented a captain who was great, took us out to an island to relax and use the slide and avoid the storm the best we can. Boat was great and 2 decks. Friendly communication. Would totally recommend again!

We had a great time on our mini-speedboat adventure!! We did a lot of things during our few weeks in the area and the mini speedboats were one of the highlights! For me and my two adult kids (20's), it was a choice between jet skis and mini speedboats. I'm sure jet skis would have been fun, but we didn't regret choosing the speedboats. They are very easy to pilot and a ton of fun. Our captain was great, too. He did a good job of giving clear instruction, some interesting info, and plenty of time to just jet about and have a blast. I had a little technical difficulty with my boat (the green boat), which did slow us down a bit. But, we had tons of fun, nonetheless. I mentioned it to our captain at the end of our trip. Shortly after that, I received a very nice call from the owner to apologize, promise to ensure it would be fixed immediately, and offer us some additional customer-service. I found this to be en excellent display of ownership and responsibility. Please note that if your ride is like ours, most of it will be fairly smooth sailing until you get to the "washing machine" and the Gulf. Then, you will get wet and bounced about quite a bit. It's not crazy, unless you make it so, but it does get adventurous for a few minutes. For us, that was the funnest part, but if you want a leisurely dry cruise, this may not be for you. This is a great adventure that I would recommend to any family that wants a little excitement on the water. We'll be back!!

We had a great time on our pontoon boat tour during a bachelorette trip! Captain Finn was awesome. Would recommend time and time again!

What a day! Captain Finn and boat was ready to go as soon we got there and made everyone’s day that much more fun! Thank you Captain and Endless Summer Crew, will definitely rent with you again.

Phenomenal experience!!! Highly recommend!! All the captains are knowledgeable, friendly and very flexible to give the ultimate fun experience!

Captain Derek was great. He was proactive and had all the neccessities you could ask for. The boat was good quality as well. Overall awesome time.

We had a fantastic time with the speedboat we rented. Our captain was not only very knowledgeable, but also very kind and took us to beautiful areas. We had so much fun, and this was one of the highlights of our visit. Thank you.

Excellent customer service! Always responds by the following morning. Goes out of their way to accommodate any issues. Can’t say enough about the quick response communication. Most businesses lack this quality anymore.

We did a speedboat tour and Captain Scott- the Pirate of Pass a Grille- was outstanding! Friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back.

Best day ever! The boat was able to accommodate our party of 11. Captain Scott was amazing! The slide was a big hit with the kids and adults alike. He took us to a great restaurant for lunch and a quick dip in the pool while we waited for our food. I will always use Endless Summer going forward when we visit the area. We couldn't have asked for a better day! Thanks so much guys!!!

We had a wonderful time on the double decker pontoon boat with a great captain. Finn made it a lot of fun and it was very relaxing while taking in the gorgeous views. They were very accommodating!
