We'll be back in our next trip to the Keys!

Shiesty boat rental company. I rented the 24' Caravelle for 2 days, we quickly noticed that this…read moreboat had many issues that we were not warned about. The first being how difficult it was to get the boat up on plane, regardless of people or weight. Second, the boat would porpoise up and down even on calm water as if the motor was trimmed too high even when it was completely lowered. Once we returned the boat we notified the manager and he snickered and blew us off. Just hoping this review saves someone from the disappointment and waste of money on their next vacation.

Everything went very well. The crew was friendly, helpful and professional…read more The equipment was top notch and the boat was loaded with safety devices. Even the other customers were all friendly. No complaints.

Looe Key is amazing! Probably the best snorkeling in the Middle Keys…read more Strike Zone takes you out to Looe Key, only thirty minutes away, and stops in two different locations, which are absolutely percolating with life. School after school of Sargeant Majors--enough to start a small war. We also saw a free swimming green Moray eel, and some of the biggest parrot fish I have ever seen--closing in on 3 feet. Our second stop brought a naussau grouper under the boat, which was joined by a smallish Goliath grouper, and two XL Goliath groupers, weighing about 500 pounds and about 6-7 feet long. Pretty cool stuff! Crew was great, and even paused to circle around on the way back to point out a turtle. About 20 people went out in the boat--I like the fact that it is a smaller group.

We went to two places and saw tons of beautiful aquatic life, multiple types of colorful parrot fish, etc, as well as a huge larger-than-man sized grouper (I'll get my Bf to post pics on his review as he rented the underwater camera housing for his iPhone 6s).

They have water and soda for sale $1 on the boat, a cooler to store your own snacks and drinks if have them (no glass or alcohol), as well as a cooler with tap water you can refill your own bottles.

Sophia and Chris were our crew and went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable time!

Me and my wife recently planned a trip to Key West in June of 2012. We have owned boats for years…read moreand decided we wanted to rent a boat for the day while we were in Key West. A couple weeks before our trip we reserved a center console from Boat Rentals of Key West for 8 hours. On the day of the rental we arrived at their office in the Marina at Downtown Key West. The staff was courteous and gave us all the needed instructions we would need for the day. The boat was clean, gassed up and ready to go. We had a blast exploring the area and reefs around Key West. The Boat performed and ran great. Me and my wife have rented boats before and never have we encountered a staff as professional and courteous as the people working at Boat Rentals of Key West and their boats are in very good condition and obviously well maintained. In the future, we will be back to Key West and we will only rent a boat from Boat Rentals of Key West. Thanks again for the great service. Our boat rental was the highlight of our key West trip.

Will try to keep this as short as possible, only focusing on the facts that impacted the…read moreexperience. I never leave bad reviews, but in this case it was absolutely necessary. - "Boat Rentals of Key West" is a broker, but does not disclose at time of booking. After making a deposit on phone, we were sent to pickup our boat at a place called "Paradise Boat Rentals" at Murray Marine on Stock Island. - We arrived at Paradise Boat Rentals at 1pm where final payment was charged. Upon which, the owner "Rocky" recommended he guide us through the narrow channels to main water. Very shallow area that surrounded the location. - When we hit open waters, Rocky waived us through and we were on our way. 35 minutes later, the boat broke down. From 1st contact, it took them 3 hours to come assist us. - By 5:15pm, we had everything swapped over to a replacement boat. We used this replacement boat to tow Rocky 45 minutes closer to KW (out of courtesy). - It was cloudy, windy and the water was very choppy that day, not to mention, we were in a flat bottom deck boat. It was extremely rough to say the least, and we still had to make it back to Murray on Stock Island. - By 6:45pm we could barely see. We realize at this time, the replacement boat has NO lights and NO navigation device. My wife calls Rocky on his cell, and explained we were about 500 yards from his marina, but needed an assist due to no lights or nav - it was not safe trying to navigate the narrow channels without someone experienced with such area. He begins screaming at her and accusing us of being intoxicated. I get on the phone and he begins cursing "I know what F...n games you are playing", "I'm not coming to help you", "Just wait until you get here and see who you are messing with", etc, etc. I explain to him that 3 of us on the boat, including driver had not taken 1 sip of alcohol that day. - At this point, due to the situation and the threats from Rocky, we pulled over to a bulk-headed area and called the local authorities. They agreed we should not drive the boat as it was very dangerous to do so without lights. They then helped return the boat and coordinated our vehicle pickup from Murray. At 9:30pm, we were finally returning to our hotel. - We are now going through the channels of dispute with our credit card company for right at $400 in charges (from both this broker and Paradise rentals)! Rant over. Proceed with caution.

My wife and I had a trip booked on July 31th, but an emergency happened and we couldn't make the trip. I spoke to Travis but when it was all over, they would refund me anything. I get it, and business is business. But, sometimes word of mouth and doing the right thing can grow your business over time versus a couple dollars in your pocket today. My recommendation is to find a fishing charter company that doesn't require all the money up first. Stay away from KEY WEST ANGLING.
