My college roommate and I are here in Panama City Beach with our families, and we wanted we wanted to go to Shell Island. We wanted to discover at our own pace, so we decided to rent a pontoon boat. We looked through the various websites of boat rentals. The website stood out, and the boat select was vast, and they were able to accommodate us since it was a last minute decision. After choosing the boat and package we wanted, it was so easy booking through the site. It was self explanatory and easy to book our excursion. Upon checking out, we were able to sign all the disclosures online, which is a great convenience since we did not have a printer at our hotel. Upon arriving, we were greeted by Justin. He was very friendly and helpful. He made all off us feel welcomed and had the boat prepared for us. He have us a thorough orientation of the boat. The pontoon was in pristine shape and spotless. Although I have some experience in boating, Justin made sure we knew how to operate everything, and showed us where the life preservers were. He also directed on where to go, and gave us valuable pointers on where to go to find the best shells. He even gave us an east to read map, and suggestions where to place the boat to avoid getting beached. The trip was a huge success, and the kids had a great time.I will definitely recommend Beachy Bosch Rentals. read more

We visited PCB for the first time ever in 2016 and We were looking online for a pontoon rental and Beachy Boat Rentals is the one that we chose. The owners, Derrick and Alicia Dorsey are wonderful people. Their pontoons are beautiful, well-maintained and come furnished with fuel. Prices were very reasonable for 1/2 or full day of fun and excitement. They helped us with the best directions on how to get to Shell Island. Letting us know where/what to watch out for, shallow waters, etc. but most of all the joy of watching for the Dolphins! We rented from them again in 2017 as a repeat customer, they remember us! Sadly, in 2018, Hurricane Michael changed our plans for us, we had to evacuate before getting to meet up with the Dorseys for the 3rd year in a row. We look forward to our next visit to PCB and Beachy Boat Rentals. So pack a picnic/cooler with enough to last the day, grab your beach towels and chairs , most important---REMEMBER SUNCREEN! You will not be disappointed! read more

Let me start by saying that we rented a poontoon on line there was a special by Beachy boat rentals we hadn't heard of them we had rented poontoons from other places around capt.andresons there ok but the morning we we set to go out we we're running behind my father in law had a stroke a few months back and he runs slow now days Beachy boat rentals called us around 9 the time we we're to be there ask if we we're still coming because the wind was awful a cold front was blowing through I told the yes we we're running behind because of my father in law had a stroke she ask if we would like to postpone the trip till the next day when the weather was expected to be better we agreed next day we went out on the boat had a great time and my father in law enjoyed himself for a change so in my opinion the best poontoon rental is Beachy boat rentals in the Panama City Beach.... Thank You Beachy boat rentals read more

We had two families on vacation at PCB. Together we had 6 kids ranging in age from 13-4 years old so we thought a boat ride would be a great adventure for them. Many of the boat cruises were going to be over $100 per family and were two hours long. We wouldn't be able to bring food or drink. So with a little research, we found Beachy Boat Rentals. Our four hour boat ride was perfect for us. It was less than $100 per family. We packed snacks, drinks, towels and plenty of sunscreen and set off on our excursion. We did bring our own speaker for music. The one on the boat worked but it wasn't loud. We explored the bay and saw dolphins. We also beached and explored a small island. The kids were able to get up and move without bothering anyone. Three of our kids fell asleep. This was by far the favorite activity of all of the kids. Next time I would take boogie boards and a few shovels and buckets. read more

Thank you again for another perfect day in panama. This is our second time renting a boat from here this year and I'll never use anyone else. They're the cheapest in the area to start. I've dealt with a woman on both occasions who couldn't be sweeter, like she was made to work in customer service. Even gave us a discount for being repeat customers. The guys that help you shore your boat at the end of the day are laid back, patient, and equally nice. The parking lot is roughly 75 feet from the bow of the boat if that's an issue but they'll even let you back your car up to the bow if you're not an idiot and you have four wheel drive. I can't say enough good things about these guys. I know each individual experience is different but they are 2 for 2 with me and I promise not only will I use them again but I'll never use anyone else in Panama City beach. read more

The owners were very nice on the phone when making the reservation and in person when we arrived. They had plenty of parking about 20 yards from the water. They conducted a thorough safety briefing and walk through regarding the boat. The pontoon boat was very nice and very clean. They had portable stairs there to allow us access into the boat. The owners pushed us off the shore and welcomed us when we returned. Tom disposed of our garbage for us and even offered to help us carry our things to our vehicles. My family and I enjoyed a wonderful day out at Shell Island. We also did some fishing under the bridge. We will cherish the memories we made. Thank you to everyone at Beachy Boat Rentals.

Had a great time renting your boat. Everything was better than expected. We went with my 91 year old mother & her 96 year old husband. The staff was very helpful & informative with all out needs. From life jacket for the frandson to getting everyone on the boat to instructions on the boat. Very clear & accurate. We went to Shell Island, anchored the boat exactly as instructed, spent hours finding Sand dollars & seeing other wildlife. The trip out and back in we spotted many Dolphins. One coming right up to our boat. I will 100% do this again with Beachy Boat rentals next year. I come every September to visit family here from Ma. Thank You. We had a great time. Gordon read more

Thank you for the wonderful time. The staff was very helpful & knowledgeable. I come to Panama City Beach every year to visit family. We had my 91-year-old mom & her 96-year-old husband. The staff was very helpful and accommodating to all our needs. They were informative with all the boat needs as in: Anchoring at Shell Island where we found sand dollars among many other wildlife both in the water and on land. We will 100% do this again with Beachy bat rentals. The trip was better than expected. We saw dolphins both going out and back in. One came to 10'of our boat. Thank you for everything. See you again next year. Gordon Laferriere read more

There location is horrible,long way from where you park,no dock! Get ready to get wet right of the bat! If you can get them to launch a boat.The owner is always in a bad mood( watched him chase pets off with boat hooks!) Most have walked there pets there for many years till he pops up a shack and runs anyone off that wants to go to the public beach there! Threatened me and pet with a gun,Yes a gun! I'll blow his head off is exactly what he said! Don't know about you,but this beachy boat rentals are fly by night rentals with no class! There are plenty on beach side alot closer to everything you would want to do on the water! read more

We had an amazing time with our beachy boat rental! We rented a 16 passenger boat. There were 8 of us, but we wanted the extra room. We were all able to really stretch out. I checked a lot of rental prices and this one seemed to be the best. I saw a competitor that I was looking at and their boat was much older than ours and it was going to be way more expensive to rent from there! I am so glad we chose Beachy Boat Rentals. The people were nice, the process was simple, and our boat was amazing. We had a great day. My little brother even proposed to his girlfriend out on the water. Thank you, Beachy Boat Rentals! read more

Great company to do business with! We rented a large full canopy boat a week ago, and it was in excellent shape. They were pleasant to work with, made sure we were all set, and it was a great experience. We had another boat reserved for this afternoon but TS Fred is on its way so they proactively called to offer either a refund or convenient reschedule. Location is great as well! Easy to get to Shell Island, and right in the heart of all the activity of St. Andrews. We have rented from five different places in PC/PCB, but Beachy Boat Rentals will be our only place going forward! read more

My parents came to visit from Michigan so we decided to do a 2 hour private dolphin tour. Tom was a great captain. He found a rather large pod of about 30 dolphins, maneuvered the boat around the traffic that soon also found the same pod, and always warned us of incoming waves or rough spots during the charter. Definitely worth the extra money for a private charter vs. being on a boat crammed with 80 other people. I would definitely do the same tour again. Always amazing to see wild dolphins in their element jumping and playing in the water. Got some great video too! read more

We did research before renting online and Beachy Boat had great prices and great looking boats! My son and I rented a 9 passenger, 60 hp for a full day and we had a blast! The boat was very clean and well maintained! Their boats stand out on the water compared to the others. The owners are super nice people and very accommodating. If you want a great deal from a small local company with a personal touch, book with Beachy Boat! You wont regret it! We will definitely be renting from them again in the future! read more

Best money spent all year! Just me and my wife, we rented the 10 passenger pontoon with 70 HP motor for 8 hrs, the Tuesday before Memorial Day, 2025. We took our own drinks and snacks. We saw dolphins and sea turtles and lots of fish and even some jellyfish. The weather was perfect! We stopped at a few different beaches and spent a lot of time swimming, snorkeling and just floating. The water was soo clear everywhere we went. We will absolutely rent from them again!!! read more

We were recommended this rental spot by a colleague. We were NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! We had planned a half day excursion for one day, but we had such an awesome experience we went back the next day for the pontoon and the jet ski. We had an absolute blast!!! We had a handicap teen with us, and Beachy Boat rentals accommodated us above and beyond. Obviously we loved our experience and the people who showed us good ol' southern hospitality!!! Thanks, Tom and friends!!! read more

Beachy boat rentals is amazing place to rent a pontoon..we needed help on the way back.. got lost then stuck in shallow waters with a storm rolling in this momma was in panic mode with my 3 children on board..after calling beachy boat rentals to explain the situation without any hesitation they came out to find us and help us get back to shore safely.. will definitely use only beachy boat rentals again in my future visits to PCB read more

I'm not totally sure but I think this may be a family owned business and oh my gosh, they were a delight to work with. I was lost on the way there because Apple Maps takes you to the wrong address, but they stayed on the phone with me until I found it and were just lovely and so kind.. I took my family out on a full day trip and we had a blast. Everything worked perfectly on the boat. We had a great time. 10/10 recommend! read more

Great family owned business. Nice affordable pontoon rentals. I honestly figured renting a pontoon would be way too expensive, until I looked. If you are looking to rent a pontoon for a half day, or all day, definitely give Beachy Boat Rentals a try! We felt like we were borrowing a friends boat vs renting from a business, very easy process from start to finish. Thanks Beachy Boat Rentals, my family had an awesome time! read more
