Rent a boat in the Florida Keys and explore tropical waters aboard sleek center consoles or roomy deck boats — from the speedy Sea Hunt to the 24' Hurricane deck — for fishing, snorkeling, or simply drifting in warm, shallow seas.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

A lineup for any plan: center consoles to deck boats

Choose from a range of vessels — small 18' center consoles up to 25' Proline Super Sports — with Yamaha outboards and passenger capacities sized for solo anglers or groups up to a dozen.

THE WATERS

Tropical Keys cruising, fishing, and snorkeling

The rental is built around getting you onto the shallow, clear channels, sandbars, and reef edges of the Florida Keys for fishing, snorkeling, or a day of sun and drift.

THE FLEX

From high-speed runs to lazy anchor time

Whether you want a fast Sea Hunt for quick runs between spots or a Hurricane deck for a relaxed day with a larger group, the fleet is arranged to support both active and easygoing days on the water.

What the day feels like

What Four Days on the Water Feels Like

A four-day rental hands you the keys to the Florida Keys' shallow turquoise networks: morning pickup at the marina, days of running to reefs, sandbars, and favorite fishing grounds aboard a boat suited to your group, and evenings back at the slip after a full day afloat.
