Everyone that answered the phone or really nice and helpful with the reservations as well as the person who helped us into the boat. Honestly, I liked everything about the company and the experience. The only one thing to note as a negative was that I think they perhaps exaggerated a bit with the number of restaurants that we could stop at but that was OK because we only needed one. We did end up stopping at a place to grab a burger and it was fantastic. All in all it was a really great day and we were definitely come back.

I would just like to preface this review with the fact that I reached out to this company for 2…read moremonths with absolutely no resolutions and have been ignored. I have never written a review but have had no other choice to write this review in hopes that other people will not be taken advantage by this company Below is a sequence of events that occurred and how their company decided to handle it... - 8/30/24 we rented a boat at the agreed upon price of $728.85 - 8/30/24 after we returned the boat we were prompted to leave a tip. We were happy with the service and wanted to leave a $15 dollar tip, instead BY ACCIDENT we clicked 15% - 8/30/24 On the way back we were notified by our bank of the incorrect charge of $109.32 and immediately called Rueben to ask him to adjust it to $15, We were assured this would be adjusted - 9/1/24 We called again to confirm this was going to be handled and was notified that "corporate" would be processing the refund - 9/5/24 Another call & email was sent as we still had not seen the refund. Again we were told "Corporate" would be handling it - 9/10/24 We had no other choice but to dispute the charge with Chase - 9/24/24 Chase contacted us to let us know we needed to speak to the company directly for a refund to be issued - 10/01/24 We called again and let them know that Chase them to refund the funds. We were told AGAIN "corporate" would handle it - 10/28/24 I personally went into their office and spoke to Rueben and explained the situation, which he was fully aware of. He told me the matter was out of his hands and that we signed off on the paperwork. I let him know yes we indeed did signed off but we notified him within an hour that was an incorrect amount and he assured us it would be adjust it. He mentioned he would speak to the owner (Peter) later that day, as he was coming into the office. I specifically asked him to please call us back by the end of the day with an update, again he assured me this would happen. This NEVER happened. I also asked him for your direct number and could not be given this info. - 11/5/24 I sent one final email to Peter asking him to please refund us and no answer If you want to do business with a dishonest, unresponsive, 0 customer service company- please do business with them. We have rented from them multiple times and this is how they treat repeat customers. There are many other options in the area to take your business too.

We packed alcohol and food and they provided coolers and waters which was perfects there was even a little bathroom on board. I also want to say that the service and attention to detail that Emma provided was top tier - she was snapping photos the whole time capturing all the moments so we could just have fun, then airdropped them too us at the end. I also was not drinking alcohol, along with a couple of the other girls and she remembered that and when she was offering drinks always offered us a water instead of a can and that made me feel really included and I appreciate that so much. All in all a great day! Highly recommend! P.S. make sure you bring towels and lots of sunscreen!!!

I can certainly say that booking a boat day with Captain Eddie absolutely did the trick and MADE our trip! We originally booked for six hours and had so much fun, we asked to add another hour on. Captain Eddie is easy to work with, very professional, and has tons of great suggestions for things to do while you are in FTL. The pictures of the boat don't do it justice - there is so much room for walking around and tons of seating area, and enough cooler space for any alcohol you need. I will admit, at first I was wary of not going through a typical boat charter company, especially since I was handling other people's money who were paying for our boat day. I did my due diligence and even privately messaged a few of the other ladies who reviewed Hard Charters on here to be sure that they had a fun and safe experience, and the feedback was all immensely positive. This helped me make the decision to book with Captain Eddie and I am SO glad I did! It was the perfect day and exactly what I (and our bride!) had envisioned.

What was supposed to be a fun bachelorette boat day turned into Titanic meets Final Destination: Bachelorette Edition. Two of the boats we reserved wouldn't even start (we were told their business had been vandalized the night before our reservation), so instead of the Hurricane we booked, Andrew (employee) shoved us onto a beat-up pontoon. Cute, right? Wrong. The anchor was useless. At least four different men tried helping us, and every single one confirmed the problem wasn't us -- it was the anchor. Still, Riley (employee) insisted he "uses that anchor all the time." Then came the storm. Waves, rain, bridge traffic -- and our coffin of a pontoon boat completely dies in the middle of the water. No lights. No horn. Just us screaming while boats whipped past like we were extras in a low-budget disaster flick. Thankfully, an angel we met at the sandbar (shoutout JR ) risked his life to tow us to safety. Meanwhile, once docked, we discovered the boat had ONE fender, ZERO rope, and a broken fuel line spraying gas everywhere. Their fix? Riley facetiming us from bed, telling us to keep pumping a ball until we were soaked in fuel, and finally shows up an hour later with... zip ties. Yes, zip ties. Because apparently that's luxury service now. Pro Tip: bring something to cut the zip ties or else you may end up asking 8 girls in their twenties if any of them brought a machete for their beach bachelorette weekend.....wtf. The customer service? Nonexistent. No apology, no refund, no manager -- just pure denial. Riley was oh-so kind enough to drive us back to the ramp on the broken boat leaking gas into the canal! Lovely, great for our planet !! To make matters worse, on our way back to the ramp, one of their guys actually got pulled over by the boat sheriff for speeding through a no-wake zone and damaging the sheriff's boat. Reckless doesn't even begin to cover it. Here's the serious part: this company put us in actual danger. Broken equipment, no safety gear, no backup plan, and zero regard for our lives. We could have been seriously injured -- or worse. We have video proof of everything: the gas leak, the staff admitting vandalism, the reckless driving, and their refusal to refund or take responsibility. Videos don't lie. Bottom line: Do not rent from Atlantic Boat and Jet Ski Rentals. They're unsafe, unprofessional, and careless. Save your money -- and your life -- and go literally anywhere else. Unless you're into near-death experiences and gasoline-scented hand scrubs.

What makes this the ideal spot? It's far enough inside the inlet to ensure calm, clear, shallow water.

Oh and those guys throwing the football... it's all there. On a sunny afternoon, this is a great spot to drop anchor for a few hours. Enjoy!

She was able to answer any and all questions we had. I am only sad that we are not from the area so we could go again! I would definitely recommend and request Captain Royal upon returning for another dinner cruise!
