HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We visited Orange Beach and decided to view the skyline from the Gulf with a…read moresail. There were 4 adults and my 2 year old grandson in our group. Captain Randy was a fantastic skipper who made the cruise very enjoyable and comfortable for all. Unlike some other sailing companies, we ACTUALLY sailed in the Gulf (engine off) and enjoyed the breeze and the views. As a sailor on Lake Michigan, Captain Randy let me take the helm of the 35-foot Beneteau for much of the sail. (THANKS, Captain!) He has tons of local knowledge and provided great information to our group. The boat was super clean - the topsides dazzling white and the woodwork varnish below deck looked wet it was so fresh looking. My only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise. Tom H.

Took their 8am deap-sea fishing trip. It's a big, clean, well maintained, well crewed boat…read more There were a LOT of people - probably 55 or 60. It was a little crowded if you were fishing on the sides of the boat. The captain did his best to put us on fish, and moved a number of times. All in all, it was fun and we each caught some fish. The mates were really good - they took your fish off, cut up bait, helped with tangled rods, cleaned your fish. If you can afford to charter a captain and boat, that would definitely be more fun. And I cannot imagine taking the 3pm fishing trip if it's July or August - it would be hotter than hell. But for the cost, this was fun. Definitely a well-managed operation.

We spent the first hour running the jet skis and it was the perfect mix of a guided experience with plenty of time to explore and ride around by yourself. We spent most of the second hour at Pirates Cove and the burgers were fantastic. Gabe was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. Highly recommend going to pirates cove if you are doing the 2 or 3 hour tour. Worth the money for sure! Best jet ski experience in Alabama/ Florida.

Unfortunately the weather ended up being cold and windy that day and Ryan was great and worked with us for a refund less a small fee. We will try again with him next year. One other mention is that they also have boat captains that you can use - a wonderful addition especially for our group of ladies!

I recently spent the week with my wife and our friends, on Vacation, along the Alabama coast…read more Wanting to change it up a little, we booked a half-day outing with Captain Cade. It was nice to have him take us out so we could relax and not have to worry about the boat and everybody else on the water. He's from here and knows the area like the back of his hand. Very adept at what he does. He's a very professional, personable young man!! We asked if he could keep us out the full-day and it wasn't an issue. I'd strongly recommend booking with him if you're looking to rent a pontoon boat in the Orange Beach area. It's an excellent way to see some beautiful sights. We'll be back , it was fun and fun!!!!

So fun! Good environment, the line is kinda long to get in on weekends but it's worth it!!read more

If I could give ZERO stars, I absolutely would. This was, without question, the worst customer…read moreservice experience I've ever had on a vacation. What should have been one of the best days of our family's vacation became one of the worst because of how this company chose to handle a situation that deserved professionalism, transparency, and basic human decency. Our pontoon became stuck near Robinson Island, and an older couple from Troy, Alabama, kindly offered to help push us off. We never asked them to help--they volunteered because they were simply trying to do the right thing. During that process, the boarding ladder was damaged. Accidents happen. That's not what this review is about. This review is about what happened afterward. Instead of treating us like valued customers, we were immediately told we owed $455 for the ladder. There was no itemized invoice, no repair estimate, no explanation of how that amount was calculated, and no meaningful conversation. We were essentially told, "That's what you owe." To make matters even more frustrating, after explaining what happened, the boating instructor and assistant crew told us that a boarding ladder like this is typically a $30-40 repair. Hearing that made a $455 charge extremely difficult to understand. If there's a legitimate reason for that price, customers deserve transparency--not a bill with no explanation. We're from Indiana. We don't live on the Gulf Coast. We don't spend our weekends boating, and it never occurred to us that we should ask complete strangers for their insurance information after they stopped to help us. If that's something renters are expected to know, why isn't it covered during the rental or safety briefing? A simple conversation beforehand could have prevented this entire situation. What disappointed us the most wasn't the accident--it was the complete lack of empathy afterward. We spent nearly two hours trying to get answers, experienced poor communication throughout the process, and never once felt like anyone was interested in helping us understand what was happening. We left feeling dismissed, frustrated, and pressured into paying a charge that was never adequately explained. Businesses reveal their true character when something goes wrong. Anyone can smile while taking your money. The real test is how they treat customers after an unexpected problem. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling like customer service ended the moment we left the dock. This situation completely overshadowed our vacation. Instead of remembering an amazing day on the water, we'll remember the stress, the frustration, and how we were treated. We came to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach excited to make family memories. Instead, this experience has honestly made us question whether we'll return. We've vacationed in Destin, Florida, before, and after this experience, we're seriously considering taking our future beach vacations there instead. If you're considering renting from this company, I strongly encourage you to ask detailed questions before you sign anything. Ask exactly how damage charges are calculated. Ask whether you'll receive an itemized repair estimate. Ask what happens if another boater is involved in an incident. Learn from our experience, because we certainly wish we had. We'll never rent from this company again.
