We rented the pontoon boat for an evening cruise with family and had an excellent experience! VB Boat Rentals did an excellent job giving us a captain's safety briefing and was very friendly and professional. We had a great time cruising up and down the canal and visiting the sandbar. Overall, had a great time and will definitely be booking with VB Boat Rentals the next time we visit! read more

Our family had a wonderful time on the water - highly recommend!! The boat was well maintained and was extremely comfortable for our group. We had a mixture of grandparents and grandkids, and everyone had fun. The boat had plenty of horsepower and handled really well. We had plenty of space for our coolers and bags, and the kids played their music thru the speakers. Most of our group was visiting from Ohio, so it was nice to have them out on the Bay. I'm so thankful we were able to make some great family memories! read more

Great way to celebrate with close family and friends (those within your immediate circle) due to the pandemic. The staff were very nice and friendly. The Duffy boat normally accommodates 8 people but was was scaled back to 6, to comply with Covid safety guidelines. Masks remain mandatory. And staff thoroughly clean before and after use of the boat. We met the owner Susan at the dock, along with the crew member Cody, who prepped the boat for us. He gave us a quick over view of safety rules and regulations as well as instructions on operating the boat. We decorated the boat for our birthday and for our sister and husband's anniversary on two separate occasions over the summer. We had music and brought a spread of appetizers and small plates of fruit, vegetables, sushi, sandwiches, and a charcuterie board! We navigated through the Narrows on a sunny quiet morning and were pleasantly surprised when a pod of dolphins playfully followed us around. As we cruised back to the dock, we were met by Cody to retrieve us on the pass. We had such a wonderful experience, we celebrated the following weekend for my birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet morning and docked just in time to avoid the crazy crowd of boaters, jet skiers, and water enthusiasts coming out in full force!! This was definitely one of the best ways to celebrate memorable moments in these crazy times!! read more

Awesome time! Susan was amazing she was very helpful and made not only getting information before hand but while we where going to rent the boat and then she gave us a lot of good information on what we could do and how we could do it. My wife and I wanted to do the dinner rental and it worked out perfect. We meet with Susan and her helper Kody down at there slip. After a few safety issues we went over we found that they had put out a blanket for us and had all kinds of stuff you could use for our trip. We ended up ridding up the river to the Porch on long creek and pulled up right to the dock and got our food then rode up and down the bay for the next 2 hours. We loved it and this company! read more

VB Boat Rentals - The squad. Not on the trip but still smooth - Boating Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This was by far the HIGHLIGHT of our trip! We are total boating newbies, and Susan made everything easy and a literal breeze for us.... When we arrived, she had the right size life jackets ready for our two young kids, and the duffy powered up and ready to go. She gave clear instructions, and was just a pleasure all around. Our family loved our two hours on the water... Relaxing and beautiful scenery all around. The duffy is super clean and feels absolutely luxurious. Susan even took great photos and a video of us. Highly recommend working with Susan and her team!! read more

Review written June 2019 - not sure why it didn't post. This is a must for locals & VB visitors!! I rented a boat for my husband's birthday, it was just the 2 of us, we had an amazing time. The booking process was easy, Susan kept in touch with us up until we arrived the day of our rental. Before we went out Susan showed us how to operate & navigate the boat, she ensured we knew where to stop for a restroom & food; she also provided us her personal number in case we needed anything while out. Our time on the water was amazing, it was a quiet day on the water & we had a pod of dolphins swim right up to us & stayed with us for about 8 minutes- it was breathtaking. I highly recommend VB Boat Rentals, & will be booking again in the future when we have family in town. Experience & Customer Service is top notch! read more

Fun experience. Everything went smoothly and I would definitely go boating with VB boat rentals again.

VB boat rental is the best and comfortable boat service I have ever come across is very nice and very interesting wow I really enjoy my time they thank you Amanda see you next time. read more

Great place to go boating for a couple hours! Susan (the owner) is super nice and explains everything really well and is very accommodating. We were allowed to bring snacks and drinks on the boat and there's a fridge, speakers with aux cord in the boat as well. The boat itself is very clean and spacious. It doesn't go fast but that's perfect if you're just trying to have a nice relaxing time on the water. Going during the summer when it's nice outside is a must! Would definitely recommend! read more

Very good training to operate the boat and manage with one boat going down. Our time was pushed back because of this but we also had a previous time pushed back multiple times and eventually cancelled. Overall a great time. read more

We rented the Deluxe Duffy Electric Boat on a Tuesday for 9 people. You drive the boat! Susan showed us how to use it (very simple) and gave us a map so we couldn't get lost; she was also available via text the entire trip. We brought our own snacks and drinks in our owner cooler, but cups, silverware, plates and napkins were provided. The boat is completely shaded and we had a beautiful ride for 3 hours. Highly recommend! read more

I don't recommend this service as their Greek's water is not deep enough we lost more of the time filling some waiver like 10 Minutes and then trapped on the creek! The guy working was very helpful explaining everything about the boat, the bad thing we got stock in the creek just after 10 minutes started to navigate because the guy said it happens sometimes as sand moves and make a barrier! As well as our boat It was another boat that got stuck too in the same place so is true that happens to everyone! The really Bad thing was that the guy working told us if we need any help to call him and literally we called him and we were ten minutes trying to getting out from the same place stock after his indications And another 20 minutes waiting for him to come to help because he said he was busy helping another people that is there to get another rental boat ! Literally we lost like 30 minutes then after he came to help us we tried to go back to navigate again and then we got stuck! He said to just go back to return the boat and because he said that we were really upset to waste our money on this boat! I was hoping that the lady in front tell us that she is going to return some of our money but no they did not said anything about it! It was my family get away celebration and we did not really enjoyed anything it was a waste of money! I don't recommend this service as I used another boat before on Miami with another company and we had a lot of fun but unfortunately on this one one near Virginia Beach was a waste of money! and time! This review as I used this service on July 2022 is not recommended! read more

It was a little tricky finding the spot. But when I called they answered immediately and re directed us. The staff was very sweet and helpful. My girls and I were celebrating a bachelorette party and we had a blast. We got to see dolphins and driving the boat was alot of fun. They provided coolers, a mini fridge, a stereo system that you can connect via aux or use the iPhone adapter. It truly was an amazing time. I definitely recommend anyone to rent through VB rentals. Most importantly the boat was clean!! It was such an amazing experience. Definitely will do this again! read more
