Very friendly. Easy to work with. Ice sold at the rental in you need to fill your cooler. We got there a little early and they were ready for us.

Amazing day on the bay with family! Reserved a pontoon a few days ahead and check in was a breeze! The owner and all the deck help were super helpful and efficient! As long as you follow their rules and respect their equipment, you'll have hecka fun! The bay is HUGE and the water is definitely not like our lake water. It's choppier. But the owner will make sure to answer any questions or concerns you may have about the bay. saw a few dolphin &, lots of fishes while snorkeling. We even had a large Spanish mackerel jump onto our boat while heading out towards shell island! Scared the teens since it literally landed on our daughter! Flopping everywhere! The whole family had a blast! By the way, Make sure you tip the crew. They wash up and prep your boat and will also take you on a test run just to see if the water ripples are too choppy or too windy for you. We will definitely be back when in town again! Thanks again.

Scotty Boat rental had great customer service, made it easy to make a reservation on short notice, and was super affordable when the rental cost was split multiple ways. We rented a pontoon as a group of 9 college students ($180 for 4 hrs) and were able to get out on the water and visit Shell Island. Just make sure someone in your group has a FL boating license or was born after 1988 w/ a standard drivers license so you have a legal driver.

What a great experience from start to finish. The instruction before you launch is really helpful to learn about boating in Florida if you are from somewhere else like us. I can tell the owner genuinely cares about his business and patrons. He's clear about rules and helpful with tips and things to look out for. I'm so glad we chose this place over somewhere else.

This place is superb, and the guys that work there are really helpful and friendly. We rented a pontoon for only 135 for a half day, which was the cheapest price around. We got an extra 2 hours included the following day, for being repeat customers!
Go out to Shell Island, and get away from all the tourists... the beaches are paradise, with open stretches of untouched white sand, and crystal clear emerald water.
The pontoon comes with an anchor, so you can hang out in the shallow bays, swimming around the boat. Walk over the island to the gulf side... it is much prettier, and there is also more of a breeze.
The wildlife and snorkeling is great, and the dolphins swim right along your boat! You can even jump out and swim around them, but watch out for jellyfish in the deeper areas... at least you can see them in the clear water!
This is a must whilst you are in Panama City... it is such a refreshing change from the beach front road scene.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jevona B.Columbus, OH1790114226May 24, 2014
I loved this place! We had a huge group of people and rented two boats for the Memorial Day weekend. The prices were more than reasonable( less than 300 per boat with availability for up to 10-12 people, which means we each paid about $30 bucks apiece for an amazing day of crab fishing, sunbathing, little private beach areas that you need a boat to get across to and in general lovelyness
I will definately be back to this placeHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
