Very comfy boat and ran great! Caught lots of fish and made great memories!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Bayou Boat rentals. We rented a pontoon for half a day and the boat was clean and comfortable for our group of 8 people and two dogs. we explored the beautiful waters and even saw dolphins who swam right next to the boat.
The crew was friendly and it was truly a perfect day!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian's awesome.  So helpful and accommodating.  The highlight of our trip to Port St. Joe.  We loved our first outing so much we came back a couple of days later and went out again.  Brian just "gets it".  He knows how to treat people and we'll be back same time next year.  Loved our time on the bay.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just perfect for what we needed to do during our vacation. Bryan was awesome and super helpful, the boat used “squirt” had no issues and had plenty of space. It helps that they are dog friendly, we appreciate that. Bayou bot rentals we will come back.
Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great time. The pontoon had a double canopy, so we were shaded the entire time except when shelling & snorkeling. The owner is so accommodating & helped us plan our week with his knowledge of the area. We found the largest shells & sand dollars we have ever seen off of the pontoon. The entire family loved it. We will be back next year to do it again!
