We booked a rental for jet skis for December 30th, paid online and showed up at the expected time…read more We waited at the boat slip for 1/2 hour and no staff from AMI water sports ever showed up. After calling, emailing and texting we received a response that the waters were too rough and they needed to cancel. While I appreciate the commitment to safety, we never received any notification of the cancellation. Perhaps they entered the phone number incorrectly... but attention to detail is necessary in business dealings. An email, phone call and/or text would have been appreciated. To date, we have not received a refund for over $500. My last two text messages to inquire about the refund have gone unanswered. We go to AMI often, and will not book with this group for any future trips.

My wife and I are visiting from Maine and wanted to explore offshore so we researched boat rentals…read morein our area, chose Cortez Watersports and are SO happy that we did. Booking was super easy and the rental process was thoroughly explained. We invited two other couples to join us and found the pontoon boat that we chose to be spacious and comfortable for the six of us and one dog. We arrived around 8:45am to check in and carry our belongings down to the dock where everything was loaded into the boat for us which was nice. We were then given an explanation of the area map and a tour of the boat. We had an amazing day on the water where we saw several dolphins, found dozens of sand dollars, parked at some sandbars and caught a few fish. We arrived back at the dock at 5:00pm and unloaded our stuff onto the dock where it was loaded into a cart and wheeled to our vehicles for us which we really appreciated. The fine folks at Cortez Watersports were friendly and catered to us beyond our expectations. We would definitely visit them again and highly recommend that you consider them for your next on the water outing.

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.

I wanted to follow up with you to provide some feedback on our sunset tour that we did through your…read morecompany on July 31, 2025. This was scheduled for 6 pm - 8 pm. Prior to departure the tour guide assured me and my 18-year-old daughter that we would be back before dark as it was illegal to ride wave runners after dark. We selected the Sunset Tour option with this understanding as it was the first time I had ever rode a wave runner and neither myself or my daughter have ever rode one in the gulf which is quite different from a lake experience where we live. The tour guide was very nice and explained how to operate the wave runner to me and did a great job accommodating my daughter and myself during the tour. However, on the way back we were in complete darkness and could not even see the signs to tell us the information needed for no wake zones etc... The tour guide had to pull out his phone to see what the signs would say and I felt we were in a very dangerous situation. We did not get back to the dock until 9:20 pm - this was over an hour later than scheduled. It was a very scary experience and I had asked the tour guide how many sunset tours he had done and he said that this was his first one. I believe he was around 19-20 years old which was not an issue except for I would question what type of training he has had on time management as this experience could have resulted in an incident due to the risks of driving these wave runners in complete darkness.

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!
