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.

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

The crew was really nice! Boat was perfect.

My family and I had a great experience with Scott and Grace on our boat to crab island. We also saw dolphins near bridge when arriving to crab island so Scott drove closer so we could see them.  Grace was very helpful with blowing our floats up and handing us anything we needed while we were in the water.  Great crew and overall experience.

Taylor was an excellent captain and very knowledgeable. We had a great time.

Great Time

We had captain Taylor, though also got to meet captain Chandler too!  Captain Taylor tailored (no pun intended) our trip to exactly what we wanted.  Want to see dolphins… we saw dolphins.  Want snorkel… we snorkeled. Want to paddle board…we went paddle boarding.  He matched the sarcasm to a T with my teenagers and had us just wanting to adopt him as one of ours.   Incredibly courteous, incredibly kind, and impeccably knowledgeable. Truly felt like he was one of our family members.  Will do this again!  Captain Taylor, we’ll try to get you that invitation to my son’s wedding.  

Absolutely Amazing

We loved our trip & Captain Chandler is a cool 

Excellent Captain
