    Boat rental gone wrong: we cannot imagine what ppl new to boating would have done when faced with…read morethe multiple scary moments we had when renting from Island Jet Ski rental on Casey Key. We are frequent boaters and wanted to try renting a boat while visiting our Florida home. We were joined by friends who have also boated in the past. We were told to arrive no later than 8:40 am, (arrived @8:30) but had to wait around for the employee to show up around 9. Their website advertises $299/4 hours or $399/8 hours but when we checked in we were told it was $399 for 6 hours or $499 for 8 hours. We agreed to rent the boat & when we returned the cost issue would be resolved after employee spoke w/owner since he wasn't able to reach her. Employee quickly showed us where safety equipment was stored and we were off. The boat, however, was not mechanically sound: we discovered that the storage compartment area under the floor was flooding to the point that the water was leaking onto the deck. It looked like the hull could be leaking. Imagine our surprise when we saw that! We were worried the boat could sink! The fenders were literally floating in the storage area. Thank goodness we were able to use the bilge to pump all of that water out. We frequently checked on and pumped out the water several times. The boat ran very slow because there was so much algae growth on the bottom of the boat which,in turn, caused it to guzzle gas. We had to stop for gas twice on our return for fear of running out! No sure why they would rent a boat for 8 hours that runs the risk of running out of gas? The engine repeatedly cut out while we were traveling the Intracoastal Waterway. Not sure why I but that just added to the stress and anxiety one feels when they are facing the possibility of being "adrift" and having to get their boat towed. We called them to let them know why it was taking us so long to return and that we might be late, but had to leave a message. On our return we showed the employee the condition of the boat and shared our experience with him. He discovered that the "live well" wasn't draining properly and it was flooding the boat. After calling the owner, she agreed to reduce the price of our rental by $50 and reimburse us $50 for what we spent on gas. It didn't feel like adequate service recovery to me but we took what we could get. We will never return here and if you are smart, you will rent elsewhere.

    We had a great time on the Dolphins, Drinks & Sandbar tour with Siesta Key Watersports. We didn't…read moresee any dolphins, but wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, and it didn't ruin the experience for us. We took the 1 p.m. tour during a busy holiday weekend, so I would probably choose a morning or sunset cruise if seeing dolphins is your main priority. The sandbar stop was the highlight and the main reason I booked this tour. The water was warm, and we found lots of living sand dollars. My son loved exploring and searching in the water. We also heard that manatees passed near the boat while I was out on the sandbar, but unfortunately, I missed them. We purchased the VIP upgrade, which included priority boarding, alcoholic drinks for the adults, and soda or juice for kids. If you decide you want to have drinks after you get on the boat and didn't get the upgrade, you can add it when you're on the boat. The larger tour boat had plenty of shade and space, and it never felt crowded. The bathroom was easy to access and clean. Captain Dan and Brandt were friendly and helpful, and Captain Dan's commentary about the wildlife and waterfront homes made the ride entertaining. Even without dolphins, this was a fun afternoon on the water, and I would recommend the tour--especially for families who want a boat ride that also lets them get out and explore.

Our tour guides were Chad and Joey who made for a great ride out into the ocean. Good information was shared along the way and when dolphins were located on the tour Chad was excellent at pointing them out along the way. A bald eagle nest was also seen complete with a bald eagle perched overlooking the ocean. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous and the tour was just the right amount of time to be out on the water to enjoy the boat ride. We don't drink so purchased the tickets without the alcohol included but then were welcome to bring on our own drinks and snacks for the ride. The playlist of music out on the sunset tour was top notch and apparently dolphins have a good affection for Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" as when that song came on the dolphins came out in force. Highly recommend Siesta Key Watersports!

    I rented a jet ski from this company, but the experience ended in a situation that raises serious…read moreconcerns about how they operate. There was no clear or visible parking guidance where I parked in front of their location at 100 Circuit Rd. The only sign on the building directs customers to a side gate and says nothing about parking restrictions or towing. I also received no verbal instructions about parking when I made the reservation over the phone. At no point was I warned that parking in that area could result in my vehicle being towed. After my vehicle was towed, the company claimed there was signage elsewhere on the property, but it was not visible from where I parked and would not reasonably be seen by a customer arriving at their storefront. Instead of taking responsibility, they immediately shifted blame to the marina and towing company. At no point did they acknowledge that their lack of clear, visible parking instructions--both over the phone and on-site--directly contributed to the situation. Separately, the overall process felt rushed. I fortunately have prior experience riding wave runners, but if I hadn't, the lack of meaningful instruction and the speed at which paperwork was handled would have been concerning from a safety standpoint. To make matters worse, I was initially denied access to retrieve personal belongings from my vehicle and had to deal with the situation in extreme heat (around a 107°F heat index) with my two young children present. This was entirely avoidable. The lack of clear direction, combined with how this situation was handled afterward, is a serious red flag.

I called…read moresame day and they were able to accomodate us, but if you're pre-planning your rental the online booking process couldn't be easier. We were staying in Venice and found this location to be accessible, easy to get to, with easy breezy parking. Other great things? Right next to an awesome tiki bar for post-rental pina coladas! The views and vistas from this location were expertly explained to us and we enjoyed snake island, a few of the surrounding bays, and gorgeous views of sting rays, cranes, and BEST of all: dolphins! I had two swim up directly next to my kayak which was one of the most incredible things that has ever happened to me. I can't say enough about our experience and I highly recommend adding some boat time to your FL itinerary.
