Made a reservation for 4th of July and had a blast. Called prior and Ashley was amazing answering all my questions. When we arrived we were greeted by Vernon who was also great. I think regardless where you go renting a jet-ski will always be pricy just because of all the rules on the water itself. For an hour with the lowest insurance and gas we spent $170. But like I mentioned we had a blast. It was fun cruising on the delta. This is definitely a hidden gem in Stockton. They also have boat rentals and a boat with a captain for large parties which seemed very affordable for large parties. I can't wait to go back. read more

H2O Excursions - Boat Charters Near Me - Stockton, California

Although I live in Stockton, close to the marina, I have never really explored the water in the area by boat. I spoke with the rental people in person a couple of times to find out "the detail"... And this morning took my eight-year-old granddaughter out for an hour on a tandem kayak. it was a perfect activity for grandpa, relaxing for us both, enjoying nature and gentle easy conversation ensued. The pricing of rentals, is competitive, or even lower than some of the other facilities in Lodi and other places etc. what helped me make the decision about renting here, was the fabulous customer service from both Vern and Shawn. friendly, detailed, helpful... Everything is kept immaculate, they are doing a fabulous job at representing this business! $30 well spent! Memories are priceless! read more

We rented a pontoon from these fabulous folks today and had an absolute blast! Everything from the moment we booked our excursion to the very end when they helped us load our stuff in our car at the end of the day, was amazing. They are professional, courteous, kind and very helpful at telling us how to handle the boat and the rules of the water and more. This family owned business is awesome! Check them out this summer! read more

Booking: Booking each activity was really easy; the website is easy to navigate and really simple. I am a person who likes to ask clarifying questions and the Captain was extremely patient with me. Arrival: Upon our arrival, our excursions were ready for us to depart. I am a timely woman so I loved that we were ALWAYS able to start and end our excursions on time. Hydrobikes (6.18.21): We did not know what to expect. We booked 10 bikes (single and tandems). I probably should have booked 1 hour as Captain Kevin but I booked 2 hours. We all had an amazing time doing something we've never done before. Pontoon w/ tube (7.2.21): The Pontoon was perfect for my family. We were nervous about driving the Pontoon ourselves since none of us have ever driven a boat but Captain Kevin directions were very simple. It was 4th of July weekend so it was busy. However, everything he told us about (stay away from the roadways, stay in the middle, go into the wave, etc.) was all applicable for our excursion. Our kids had an amazing time on the tube. The premium pontoon was spacious and perfect for our family of 10 (3 adults & 7 kids). Our kids would love to do this again. When we do, we have to get a larger tube because our kids never wanted to get out of the water. Captained Charter (7.8.21): My girlfriends and I had an amazing time relaxing on the Cruiser Yacht. It was just what we needed! The back side of Discovery Bay was beautiful. It rides so smooth and the sound system is nice. Seating was extremely comfortable for 4 adults although there is enough room for at 2 more. We had free range to move about as we desired. The Bow Area was large enough for each of us to sit comfortably; tranquil! The Captain was nice, friendly, and professional. The 4 hours went by extremely fast; too fast. We plan on booking again soon for either a double date or another ladies day out; maybe both. read more

We have rented jet skis and kayaks on separate occasions from these wonderful folks and have had a great experience both times! The owners are wonderful, you are greeted warmly and you know that they want you absolutely feel that they want you to have a fun and safe experience! The young people working there are also super professional and truly know how to advise on the equipment and how to stay safe in the water. They are an awesome addition to the businesses at Village West Marina. Booking an experience is super easy online too! read more

Very happy with the service we received from Shawn and Vern at H20 Excursions. When we arrived, they had our rental ready to go right on the dock. We had young children with us (ages 2.5 to 10 years old) and they made sure to fit them all properly with life vests. Their polite and professional demeanor helped us feel comfortable with using a Pontoon boat for the first time. We will definitely be back to rent with them again!! read more

Awesome customer service! We were late they were flexible. Despite us being late they took the time out to explain how the oars and paddle board worked, didn't rush us through our reservation at all. After explaining how the board worked and mounting us my son was uncomfortable and they switched us out, no problem at all. They followed all Covid guidelines and made our experience exceptional. Prices are VERY reasonable too! read more

I had a awesome day Saturday on the water. My husband is in a wheelchair and they had a boat that he was actually able to roll right in with no problems. We have been trying to find a rental place that can accommodate him and have easy access to get on and enjoy the water as well. Staff was awesome and understanding and made sure everything went smooth before we left the dock. We will definitely return to rent out the boats in the future. read more

These guys are GREAT! Very easy reservation online system, great selection of watercraft to rent, and great customer service from start to finish. Their location on the 14-mile slough also affords a great place for beginners to try out a SUP or kayak (Instruction provided, if needed). All in all, a fun place to go for some sun and quiet time on the water or a fun activity with friends or a date. Also, Garlic Brothers Bar and Grill is located next door and makes for a great place to cool off with a cool drink and a good meal afterwards. i read more

I've been to H2O excursions three times and have had a great experience every time whether it's on the boat, kayaking or JetSki's.

My fiancé and I really wanted to do something outside, and maybe get our blood pumping a bit. We originally thought about a little hike...until he found this new treasure!!! My H2O excursions! We have both never kayaked before, no problem... this is a family owned and operated business. And honestly I could tell they were before I read it on their Facebook page; they made us feel like we were part of their family! They gave us a brief lesson, that was packed full of everything we'd need to know! And before I knew it we were off like pros. They sent us on a very peaceful, low wake area that is impossible to get lost. I was really not thinking much of this, until today! Thank you so much for setting our week up for a good start! We cannot wait to do this again, with our kids!!! read more

What a great experience with H2O Excursions. My Mom lives in Stockton and we always talked about renting a boat and exploring the Delta during one of our trips. This past weekend we made a last-minute trip, due to a family funeral, and we wanted to do something fun as a belated birthday celebration for my Mom. I had reached out to H2O, and even after learning we were a weekend too early for the season, Shawn still reached out and made our boat rental happen. Shawn and his crew were so nice and so flexible with our rental. We would totally rent from them again. Thank you! read more

My wife and I rented a standard pontoon for the day. It was a brand new boat, very comfortable and performed perfectly. We cruised from Village West Marina to Wimpys, Guisti's and the Meadows slough. It was my trip to reminisce about our houseboat vacations here 50 years ago. . Thank you H2O Exvursions for making it possible. read more

Had a blast renting a couple kayaks from H2O Excursions today! The booking process was super simple, and when we arrived, Tomiko and Shawn were very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about the kayaks and Fourteen Mile Slough. The sit on kayaks they rent were a lot of fun, easy to use, and easy to learn on. We will definitely be back for more kayaking adventures! read more

It was absolutely awesome. The day was perfect for our excursion. My daughters planned a wonderful day out on the anniversary of my mom's passing. The captain was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to play our own music via Bluetooth. We brought along snacks and wine. The captain was very knowledgeable of pints of interest. This was a great experience read more

Very friendly, great location, and they also have great deals throughout the week. Glad we were able to enjoy the afternoon on the Delta

The jet skis were in good shape and the team was friendly and efficient. They accommodated a last-minute change in plans and were able to switch our reservation days without any extra charge. They were very helpful, particularly in helping us navigate to the Airbnb where we were staying. I would highly recommend renting from them. read more
