Reviews for Captained Sandbar/Island Hopping Party Charter

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!
