Had a great experience. Zach was very polite and helped us understand everything that we needed to know. Hes crew was helpful and polite also. We had no problems with the boat. Very smooth trip to shell island and back. We had a full day but decided to return back for a half day and they refunded our money back no problems at all. We will use this boat rental location again. Thank you Zack and your crew. Well done.
Scotty is awesome and a joy to deal with. The young men that take care of the boats are polite and always very helpful. Of all the boat rentals we have used, Scottys is by far the best!
Zack made our reservation and was really easy to talk to and ask questions. Scotty was there to check us in, go over the boat, the rules, the area, answer questions. He was just terrific. Very friendly. The four young men that helped us on the boat with our cooler and all our stuff were just great. Very professional, friendly, helpful. Give them a big tip! Highly recommend. Great experience from beginning to end.
Absolutely the best! Being a local we have tried a few different places, this by far is the best. The boats are Awesome and fair priced. Great staff too.
These guys are awesome! My family and I rented from another company and got a message this morning of mechanical failure no boats available. We called Scotty and he had one! Best decision ever! Awesome boat! His crew second to none! It’s nice to see young guys bust their tails! We tipped good! And appreciate everything y’all did! We will be back next year to scottys!!!!
Friendly and helpful staff. We rented a pontoon boat for the entire day. Everyone had a great time! Next time, well spend the extra money and get a bigger boat with more horsepower. Still a good time on shell island.
I would definitely recommend these guys. They were very accommodating with our dogs. They gave us lots information about where to go and not to go. We had a great time!
Fabulous time. I called the evening before, spoke with a friendly, helpful person, was able to easily secure a boat for a half day morning. Everything was included in the price quotes where another company charged for insurance. When we arrived, they were ready for us, reviewed everything, providing a suggested route and map, happily provided a bit more instruction for us as we were first time pontooners. The young men that showed us around the boat and got us going and assisted with our return were so nice, polite. I witnessed them cleaning boats upon our return and they were working hard! Not a single complaint and had a great time, the only regret was not renting for a whole day!
Small operation, but reasonable pricing. We took a boat out for 4 hrs, went over to shell island and snorkled. Pretty decent experience.
Highly recommend. Excellent group of guys, very friendly and nice boats. If you’re looking to rent a boat, Scotty Boat Rentals is the place to go!
We rented a pontoon boat for the day today, all I have to say is EVERYONE at Scottys made our day AWESOME. They were extremely professional, answered all of our questions with no problem and were just all around a pleasure to deal with. Thank you everyone at Scottys for making our day special. We will definitely be back.
Rented a 12 person pontoon and had a great experience! Might want to call ahead for directions because the turn comes up quick. We got to our rental early and they let us take off early. No nonsense, it was clean, worked perfectly and policies were straight forward. They have good directions to Shell Island. Employees were nice.
Had an amazing time!! The staff was super friendly and willing to help and explain anything we were in need of, Plus freedom to go where you please was awesome!! We will be going back!!
Just left Scotty boat rentals and they were an absolute pleasure to deal with.The boats were in great shape and handled the waves like a champ. We saw dolphins while we were out as well. Big shout out to papa joes boat rental for getting us the upgrade instead of cancelling our booking. I will reccomend both establishments 10/10.
Loved it we will be back boat 57 was really nice.. we had a blast..very pleased. They were great at their job. The young man was very nice.
We had a fun day on the bay we will definitely rent there again future staff was fun and friendly
Great Boats! The owner, the staff and deck hands were very friendly and down to earth. Will be back again next time in town! They were very helpful and accommodating.
Radio didn’t work but we had a fun full day !! Motor was plenty fast
Had an AWESOME time. Our tour guide was AMAZING!! Highly recommend.
Great service and good boats. I would recommend to anyone wanting to cruise the bay for the day.
Guy was very helpful. Very decent rates. Boats brand spanking new. Customer service was phenomenal. Highly recommend it
The owner and staff were nice. The boat was like new. We got a 26 ft pontoon boat. I suggest going straight to Shell Island. No point in touring around other than to see some of the homes on the way to shell island. Leave yourself 30 minutes to get back. We barely made it back on time.
Great had the Minkota power plug I needed
Great experience! Today is our last day of vacation, we’re from Southern Indiana. We were able to book quick reservations and staff was informative. Boat was nicely equipped and had a smooth ride. Will definitely return next year! Thank you guys for the great experience for our family!!!
Very helpful staff, clean nice rentals
Took the time to explain things well. Very accommodating!
Friendly staff, easy to find, great day, what else is there.
Great adventure! We rented the 90HP Pontoon for a full day and had a blast! Exploring shell island and checking out the air force base. We do this every year but first year with Scottys and I like the pontoons the best here. Ladder on the back easy to get up and 90HP is the way to go. Clean and easy to board. Thanks guys! We will be back next yr!
The crew at Scotty’s was so welcoming and helpful. Beautiful boat & beautiful bay cruise. Our family will do this again! Enjoy !
As always Scotty and his crew are fantastic! We look forward to visiting with Scotty every year. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Boats are kept clean. Fast service to get you out on the water for some amazing fun.
We have used Scotty Boat Rentals for years. We would never use anyone else!!!
Good boat. Great people.
After another company took our reservation and then canceled on us last minute, Scotty was very accommodating. The staff was very professional and the boat was clean and nice. We had a great time at Shell island and enjoyed cruising intin bay
Great boats and folks
The best part of vacation. The pontoon was nice. We had a great time. Highly recommended.
Scotty and his guys were great! Did the half day from 1 till 5 and it was great! I would deffentily recommend the double canopy if you can get it!
Had a awesome time
Great affordable pricing along with availability and friendly staff. We will visit again!
Great place to rent a boat. Fastest rental pontoons out there.
Very helpful staff!!
Local businesses are supposed to take care of their own locals but instead are rude. And apparently dont know how to explain everything down to a tee to renters. I lost materials into their propeller. Upon calling to speak with someone a person did answer but was very rude.
It would have been five star if our request for military discount had been honored.
Great Experience with this place and the people. We did the Sea Shell Island Jet Boot Tour with our two youngest boys - we all had a great time and it was save.
First Time Ever..
Always the go to rental shop for Shell Island. Love these guys. So glad they pulled through Hurricane Micheal! All new craft.
Friendly and helpful staff. Very accommodating. Great location.
Awesome service, was able to see dolphins and helped make memories we will cherish forever
OMG!!!!! THE STAFF WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! WE HAD A BLAST!!! TOTALLY APPRECIATE THE PRICE VS THE TIME!!!! IM RENTING WITH THEM ALL SUMMER BCUS SCOTTY IS THE BEST. WERE FROM BROOKLYN!!!!
They were great very accommodating
I talked to two guys on the phone before we arrived; both were extremely nice and helpful. The off-season (October) pricing for an all-day rental was very reasonable, which helped us make our choice. When we arrived, both guys were friendly as well. The craft was older, but in good repair, and we had a great time. We even saw a couple of dolphins while we were out! I would definitely rent a boat from these guys again :)
Great people, boat was excellent and a good fair price
Summer rates are really high but before spring break and after labor day great rates and service. Wonderful boats with 90 horse nicest boats on water
Nice clean boats with big motors. Easy access to load up. Best boats on the beach!
Super nice guys. We have been here before years back for a pontoon and have over the years tried others. I can say in confidence now that Scotty is by far the BEST with the best rates in the area. I assure you that you wont be disappointed!
Amazing staff, great prices, perfect quality boats, my biggest surprise was the cleanliness of the boats. Locally owned and operated. Me and my family had a phenomenal time of the 4th of July, I can’t stress enough how great of a guy Scotty is. Please stop by you won’t regret it.
Great
Really had a wonderful day come every year at this time I memorial day to enjoy the time and the boat in the scenery and Friends love it
We rented a pontoon on July 4rh, 2018...you can guarantee we will absolutely do it again next year. Really nice pontoons, guys were awesome and gave us great info on stuff to do, would rent here again in a heartbeat.
Have rented multiple times. Nice boats and shell island rocks. Employees are very friendly and know thier equipment.
Nice boats nice people good rates.weve used em for the last 3 yrs
Absolutely wonderful
Fun crew. Very nice. Had a blast on the pontoon. Would rent from them again 😀
Deal with Scotty directly if you can. Some confusion from the employees as to what dates were available. Once that was worked out. Everything else went great. Got a decent 20 foot fishing vessel for the entire day. Much cheaper than a charter and I used my own gps numbers.
Super nice guys. Nice selection of boats and great rates. Pack sandwiches and an ice chest and enjoy Shell Island on your own.
People were very nice to us rented pontoon went over to shell island had a great time no problem went in September it was a 120 dollars
Always go with scottys good friendly and nice clean boats
Awsome place i have never been somwhere they let u drive your own boat and not send u with a tour guy
Rented a boat from this location three different times so far in 2019. They have GPS trackers on the boat and are unwilling to allow access to the entire Bay Area. They have a very limited space that you can drive and maneuver the boat. Cannot go pass the Hathaway bridge for some crazy reason. Also the last rental that I did, there was no fuel in the boat so we had to call for help. Once helped arrived about a half hour later, they told us that the gauges were just broken and the reason but it kept dying on us was something wrong with the motor. Not the best adventure
Ok if you ever wanna go fishing or out on the water, snorkeling, this place is super laid back guys down to earth extremely helpful. The prices are shockingly accommodating esp if you have more than 2 people going .every year we use them and will continue to go back
Good boats. Great service. Staff very knowledgeable about the area and willing to help.
These people are so nice and very helpful! Very easy to rent from and a little less expensive than others around the same area.
Great outfit, super nice staff, very helpful, good boat
Have used Scottys 3 times now and they are simply awesome!!! Very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend scottys, friendly gateway to Shell Island.
Had a good time on the boat just wish they would have had better handicap loading and unloading I had a hard time getting in and out of boat
Scotty Boat Rentals was a great value ($125 for 4 hours). They are super quick to get you set up, clear on what to do if anything goes wrong, and have well used but fun boats.
I called during a busy weekend last year and asked the price for an all day rental, they had one boat available and I had to hold it with my card, once I arrived the price was $100 more than quoted on the phone. When confronted about it they got very defensive and basically said this is the price and I had reserved and agreed to pay. I had no option but pay and try to enjoy it. Definitely would not recommend.
Great guys! We are locals and have rented CCs for a while now .Always helpful and want you to get the most from your visit. Highly recommend Scottys!!!!
Great experience, caught some fish too!
Set me and my wife up w/ a sunrise private tour for $40.
We Love Scotty!!! The high point of our trip every year is renting a center console from Scotty Boat Rentals. See ya the week of June 30th!!!
Service was great no hidden fees boat showed wear but ran great all day will use them again the guys there know their stuff
Great price, lots of fun.
Great day on the boat with family!! Thanks Scotty Boat Rentals!
Scott is a great dude he tried the best he could do to accomodate my group! great service and Great pricing!!
