My family had a great experience renting from H2O watersportz. The website says 9:15-1:15 or…read more1:15-5:15 but there is more flexibility off season, so call and ask. If youre coming from Anna Maria, it's the first left over the bridge, so be ready to turn. We rented a fishing pole and bought some shrimp from Annie's bait shop next door (didn't catch anything though). If you fish, I think you need a Florida fishing license, which non residents can get for $17 online and it's good for 3 days. Dale programmed dolphin and fishing and sandbar spots into the GPS. It was easy to find them and stop. The only reason I gave 4 stars is price. Currently, other companies say they will deliver for a full day rental for the same cost as 4 hours at H20.

Great service from the team at H20. We were referred to this business by our air bnb host and are…read morevery happy that he did! The team was prompt in getting my family and I setup for jet skis. The instructor was very detailed and do's and don'ts. We had a great service from everyone we encountered while we were checking in and checking out. I will definitely revisit this location on my next trip to Anna Maria.

Had a great day on the water. Julio was a professional. We experienced no adverse situations and…read moreeverything went smoothly. That said, our rental with gas charge and tip was $198 more than the last boat we rented (from a competitor there on the bay near Bradenton) in July. This rental did not justify the significant additional charge. For comparison, my fuel upcharge was $100. The other rental had fuel included. Our previous rental was the same size, newer and in better condition. I will likely not be renting from Sunshine unless we can rectify this situation.

They are a small niche company that literally treats you just like family. We go boating nearly every weekend, never had a problem getting a boat. They are super easy to work with and you just text them directly, which I love. They put in the little special touches and make you feel valued. We are very happy. :)

Horrible business! Booked a sunset boat ride for 6 and came the required 30 min early. told me…read morethere was no boat going out. Better yet the girl handling was so disrespectful.Highly recommend another place. I asked for manger and they said no one on site. They had no problem charging me but couldn't provide any help for the service. very poor service. this was recommended from a local resident, if they treat guest like this I am surprised they are in business. I never write reviews but this places really earns the disapproval star.

His boat was clean and a center console ( just getting into the boating scene, so not sure what else to write about it?!) We had an absolute blast, so I got his card ( I wasn't the one who booked him) for future use... which was one month later. My son and his girlfriend were visiting from out of state, and had always wanted to jet ski. We easily booked on line and finalized location via text. Carlos was extremely accommodating :he met us down the road where there was a marina and was punctual (he early, we almost late). His 2 jet skis were beautiful, well maintained and ready to go. Full briefing on safety and usage ( 2 different kinds), and off we went! Tons of fun. No problems. Bottom line: I am sure there are plenty of other people to rent from, but Carlos made each outing more fun. A nice guy, and a veteran, which is exactly why you should go with Patriot!
