Scam Alert!!!! Scam Alert!!! I rented two jet skis on a Thursday with a $300 deposit each and $89…read moreper hour. The jet skis will return and the deposit was returned. This guy Tanner calls me the following Saturday to tell me we damaged the jet skis. I told him whatever damage occurred occurred in the days he did not contact us about the damage. He wanted me to come in and resolve the issue. I told him no we have pictures and video and if you want to talk to us it will be through a lawyer. After he called with the scam alert proposal I looked at the reviews and figured out which ones were fake and which ones were real. I never seen a business that had either one star or five stars on all the reviews. It's unfortunate that they only allow you to give one star as your lowest rating. How is this place still in business with all the negativity on the reviews across multiple years? Why would you tell me almost 2 Days later we damaged jet skis and you can prove that we were the only ones that rode the jet skis? This business is sickening to the public. This business should not be called a business. I don't consider this a business.. I consider this a scheme by any means necessary to get your deposit. This is a very high deposit which should ring a bell!!!!The reviews are terrible which should ring a bell!!!! The responses to the negative comments should ring a bell!!!! If you rent from these people it's your mistake. If you rent from these people count on them making up something to get your deposit. Read the reviews first. I did not read the reviews first. The goal is to get and keep your deposit. Read the reviews please and do yourself a favor. The one star reviews are real. FAKE BUSINESS FISHING TO WITHHOLD YOUR DEPOSIT!!!! EERILY OBVIOUS EXTORTION Scheme. YOU BE THE JUDGE. After talking to Tanner on the phone he told me he wanted me to send him the video and pictures we had to prove that we didn't damage the jet skis. He made this request after already sending us pictures of the damage that he said we did. The pictures he sent were of jet skis but it did not have a number serial number or anything in the picture to prove it was the jet skis we were on. You couldn't even tell if the picture was taken in this decade. Why would he want me to send him pictures and video of what we have if we really did the damage two days later? Based on these reviews Tanner and the business owner who I have not met should leave the public alone with their scam and get out of Texas. How about y'all run off into the sunset and brag to each other about how y'all don't have any gag reflexes.

Thrilling, Fast, and Fun for Everyone!…read more I went on the Boardwalk Beast speedboat ride in July, and I can honestly say it was my best speedboat experience so far. From start to finish, the energy and excitement never let up. One thing I really appreciated was that the drivers didn't tone things down just because there were kids on board. Too often, family activities get watered down under the assumption that younger passengers can't handle a bit of speed and thrill -- but here, everyone got the full experience, and it made the ride so much more enjoyable. The boat tore across the water with plenty of twists, turns, and splashes, giving just the right mix of adrenaline and fun. The ride was also a decent length -- not one of those experiences that's over before you can really enjoy it. I left feeling like I got great value for my ticket and a truly memorable adventure. If you're looking for a high-energy, wind-in-your-face thrill that the whole family can enjoy without it being overly "tame," the Boardwalk Beast is absolutely worth it. I would definitely be back for another round!

Staff were friendly and the girl dancing in the front…read morereally committed to the performance and had lots of energy, even though the boat wasn't completely full. The soundtrack was very catchy. You will definitely get wet during the fast turns, no matter where you sit. Heading out of the harbor and back in you also have a beautiful view of the coastline and the bay. You buy tickets onsite, at a booth right behind where the boat is anchored. Ride times are posted there, and I think the frequency of ride times depends on how busy it is at the boardwalk, it's not running continuously. I was on the water around 20 minutes. The only thing I would recommend against is buying the rain poncho they offer. Since the ride is so fast, the ponchos of the guests in front of me were just blowing behind them only attached to their necks, and they got as wet as if they hadn't worn anything. I chose to wear a heavier zip up rain jacket which kept me somewhat drier, but my pants were still drenched and water even spilled down from my neck, so be prepared. Best on a hot day but lots of fun even on a cold spring day. Must try at least once.

Pinky's made it so easy to reserve, communicate when we had to make a schedule change, and help my guests feel at ease on the water! They handle the kayak transportation, life jackets, quick paddling instructions, and even provided dry bags and bottle of water! The two people who run this local business are friendly common sense people, who will work with you to make the trip a good one. The price is well worth the trip! This was my second or third time using Pinky's and they were just awesome.

I'll just start by saying Pinky's is awesome. That's my review in a nutshell…read more Now for the longer version: We rented kayaks less than 24 hours in advance and they were so accommodating. Great communication too. We showed up at Bay Area Park at our designated time (we had decided on 2pm). The boats were waiting and ready on the dock along with paddles and life jackets. We were offered a dry bag, but we brought our own. We were also given two bottles of water for the trip and loaned a map of the Bayou. We accidentally brought home the map. I need to return that to them. Anyway.... With a very easy launch, we were on the water and paddling. The bayou was low that day but there were no issues. Did you know there are bald eagles out there? We saw alligators but they kept their distance and so did we. However, we did stop to watch when two alligators got in a fight! Tails were in the air, big splashes... It was crazy. I've never seen anything like it and we got a front row seat. Absolutely amazing, y'all! I loved seeing all of the different birds. The osprey were so cool. And there were fish jumping out of the water near our boats. Just a surreal experience. Y'all gotta try Pinky's. Prices are reasonable and they're just super nice people. The experience on the bayou was so incredible, we're already planning to get back out there as soon as the weather clears up.

He treated us as if we were interlopers and made it clear that no one can come in unless they are part of an institution and we were not welcome there.
