Don't spend your money here. The owner was rude and condescending. We have traveled all over Florida and this is the worst customer service we have encountered.
We rented two SeaDoos for two adults, one 16 year old and a 10 year old. Everything was in great condition. The staff was friendly and helpful. And Mark answered all our questions. We will definately be returning.
I have been renting jet skis for the past few years around the Johns Pass, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island and Saint Pete beach. I stumbled onto Dolphin Marine, while I was stuck in traffic, the other day. They have the biggest and most stable jet skis I have ever been on, plus they go 53 MPH. Their riding area is huge and I never saw so many dolphins, while jet skiing before. I saw a pile of dolphins with in several minutes of leaving. Almost their entire riding area is no speed limit and unlike the Gulf of Mexico, I can go as fast as I want, when it is nice and glassy back in their area. The amount drama in the Gulf makes riding out there no fun most of the time. I fell off my jet ski here and it was like getting out of my swimming pool. When I have fallen off in the Gulf, it is never easy to get back on the jet ski. The two guys running the place seem to know the area quite well, really showed me where to go and where not to. Plus, with the dogs and music, the atmosphere is very beach like.Ill be back and so will my friends. Sounds like riding in the morning, is best for seeing a lot of dolphins, and classy like conditions.
We rented a boat 04/22/14 for half day. We received a good briefing (especially concerning hiting ground in flat water which seems to creates frequent problems) The 18" boat was in good condition-a little bit dirty. We ankered far enough from Shell key-but you have to be real carefull. Overall good rental. Price was fair and the guys were also friendly.
We originally booked a boat rental at Johns pass as they told us they were the only one in town until we did some searching and found Dolphin Marine. When we called the owner Mark he was cheaper than Johns pass and the deck boat was in excellent condition and very clean. It was also fairly new unlike some of the other rentals places we had seen. Mark was very helpful and showed us the ropes. We rented the boat for 4 hours and saw dolphin, stingrays and did some fishing at shell key. We went with our two small kids and they absolutely loved it. We will certainly be returning to rent again from Mark. Even returning the boat was quick and painless and there was someone to guide us in and help us dock.
We have used Dolphin Marine Rentals several times on our yearly trips to Treasure Island. We rent a jet ski for my 9 year old son and myself to ride around the bay for an hour. We have never had any issues, the equipment is always in good condition, we always receive explicit instructions on proper use and safety. Service is consistently friendly and the owner appreciates our business. And we see dolphins every time we go out! This latest visit, I had two boys on the jet ski with me, ages 8 and 9. We had a blast. The company does put a large "hold" on our credit card, in case of damages. This hold is always immediately refunded onto the card upon returning the jet ski. We're looking forward to our next jet ski adventure!
I don't have any experiences about the facility as the owner was clearly not interested in renting out anything to us. He was so busy texting. We were the only costumers and the place was deserted otherwise. The only reason we went there was because it was next door to our hotel. But he gave us information about John's pass about 1.5 miles away and we had a great time there. May be he knew that he wasn't going to get that many costumers that day and thought the effort needed wasn't worthy enough. Don't waste your time here if you are going off season or on a weekday.
was a great boat ride with very friendly staff, saw many dolphins, and cruised on the water for about 2 hours, very relaxing and beautiful view of homes around the area
We have rented a boat at Dolphin Marine Rentals every September for 4 years now. Love taking the boat out for the afternoon with friends to enjoy the view of waterfront homes , dolphins and summer sky. Well priced and the boats are in great condition. Friendly people to deal with. I recommend you try Dolphin Marine Rentals !
Rented the boat for the day price was fair comparable to other rental places on the beach the service was great the gentleman steve was very friendly and knowledgeable explain to u how to operate the boat safely and where to go and not to go. I didn't lose 100 on my deposit but that's because I ran the ground my fault I felt so bad but a hundred was cheap I offered more but they refused to take it thanks again guys for a great weekend...
