Treasure Isle

Really enjoyed the boat Steve provided us. Customer service was fantastic and the price was very competitive. Would certainly rent from Steve again.

If you are looking to rent a boat look no further! Treasure isle is the place! Top notch boats, clean, beautiful, and easy to navigate ! The prices were very reasonable and the owner took us on a guided tour before we took off on our own. We stopped at a beach and cruised around Dolphin watching! What a perfect day made possible by the perfect boat rental!

Stopped by in Treasure Island right before our Disney trip. Jetskiing was one of the things on our to do list and found this place. The guy who runs this place was really funny and had great stories to tell.
Only two jetskis were available at the time and there were four of us, we decided not to ride with two on each jetski. We didn’t want to stay out too long since my mom was watching 4 kids at the hotel, so the guy let us split the hour long session.
I was a little disappointed that he does not let you take the jetskis nor the boats out on the ocean, only in the marina. I don’t think it really would have mattered since we weren’t out there for long though.
The owner was very informative and just an overall great guy.

Started out good ended up horrible — got lost — owner Mark was no help couldn’t direct us in from the markers we gave him on the water — had to have the coast guard guide us in because Mark couldn’t — the owner spoke to the coast guard several times and the coast guard couldn’t understand why he didn’t know major landmark bridges and sites that they were giving him — than the coast guard made him pick us up where they guided us too and made us moore until the owner could figure out where we were — absolute nonsense — than not only does he want to charge us for the boat which was fine but wants to charge us an additional 250 or hold my 500 security deposit because we got back late and he had to come get us — that’s good business I don’t think so — we had our two minor sons the coast guard was worried about us dehydrating and sun stroke — they issued dolphin a ticket for not having a whistle on board, expired registration, no seat flotation devices and he has the nerve to want to hold the deposit — and than when we refuse to accept his nonsense he calls the cops saying we are refusing to leave his property — mind you the gates were padlocked we could not leave — so I am disputing it with my credit card company and my suggestion is that iyou better know the entire ocean like the back of your hand if you rent from Dolphin or u will end up as lost as we were and than having the owners hold you up like pirates and calling the cops to make his point — some point — bad business — bad review — it’s a good thing that the coast guard were our heroes because Dolphin and Mark are zeros !! On top of all this Mark started texting my husband nasty messages at 10 pm about how people like us are ruining the country like Obama — is this guy out of his mind what kind of business owner does this crap — whatever happened to taking responsibility for your business and manning up and saying I couldn’t get you back because I didn’t know how too so I left it to the coast guard and expected you to pay anyway because I couldn’t tell the real owner or my partner or whoever the shot caller is that I screwed up. Mark didn’t let up until we told him one more text and we were calling the police this time and filing harassment charges — than the big tough texter stopped — I’m sure my credit card company is going to love this ignorant move Dolphin and so will the Better Business Bureau. Man up do the right thing for a paying customer who had two small children on board that boat and stop trying to use a contract to cover up your mistake on not being able to get us back!

Rented a deck boat from them on our vacation. Steve was very helpful and took the time to go over everything with us to ensure we would have a safe and enjoyable boat rental. His advice led to our son catching his first fish ever. In fact he caught 4 within 30 minutes. On the way out to the narrows we saw several pods of dolphins. They swam right along the side of our boat. We had no issues with the boat and would definitely rent from them again.

Awesome place to rent boats from! Great experience and super friendly service! We will be back next time we are here.

Great experience. By far, the most reasonable rentals. Great support and information on the boat and navigation. Boat a little worn but we didn’t mind. We know we were trading reasonable cost against a brand new boat.
Staff super helpful and friendly. Rental location was great and free parking. Make sure you reserve. Day we went all boats were booked.
Gas was a very fair price.
Just as an FYI they are only for use in the inter coastal waterway. No gulf of Mexico ! Fine by me. We were occupied for 4 hrs.
Saw plenty of dolphins. Was highlight of out trip.

Had a great day out on the boat but have to say the owner and the guy checking us in are very unpersonable and down right crabby. Would it hurt to be friendly and even smile a bit? After all, we are dropping over $ 200 for a mere 4 hours. Based on that, I wouldn’t go back there, they don’t seem to appreciate your business.

Great experience. We rented a boat for the day. It was ready to go when we got there. Mark was very helpful.

Excellent service from start to finish. Guys took reservation first about 10am for noon outing. Very professional. Arrived at facility at noon and on water by 12:30. Great afternoon. No hassles. Boat was very serviceable and Mark was very helpful with «rules of the waves». Will happily return on my next visit. Thanks!!!

This is my third boat rental in Florida and by far the best experience. It was my wife and two children. Reservation and rental process was quick and easy. Price was the best I found in the area and they honored an online coupon from their website without question.
The boat was in good condition and ran well. The staff was friendly and helpful, even encouraging us to call them as many times as needed during our rental. However, we didn’t need to since their navigation instructions were accurate and easy to follow.
We saw several dolphins and spent time at shell beach at the end of the southern route (1 of 2 routes). The kids loves anchoring the boat near the island beach, eating lunch, and collecting shells.
The only downside is the distance from the marina to the open channel. It takes a good 20 minutes at min wake speed. The plus side is you can see some pretty amazing houses along the way. BTW they will not allow you to travel in the open Gulf which is pretty typical for rentals.
I Highly recommend these guys for your boat rental.

We rented 2 SeaDoos (wave runners), great personal service and a lot of fun. We saw dolphins and had a blast. There is a map on board and with a little instruction about navigating and safety you are on your way! I love giving my business to local merchants and they were the cheapest for walk up rates. Good job Dolphin Marine Rentals!!!

Rented the bow rider for a Father’s Day of fun. We had a great time, the staff very nice, the boat was good condition. Thought it was a decent value for the money, heck Disney is almost $ 200 for two adults, and you stand in line all day. We are locals and will definitely recommend this business to other locals and visitors. Hope to return again soon.

It was pricey, but it always is when you rent a boat. Went out with a couple of friends totally last minute. Happened to be right next to my buddy’s hotel. We did not even know. We just happened to pick it based on the prices and hours. We just about called every boat rental place in St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island.
The boat had a few nicks and dings on it, but it ran great. When we rented it, they gave us a map and a crash course on navigating the inter coastal.
No taking the boats out to the main water! That was kind of a drag. And we really wanted to go see the Skyway Bridge from the water. We were not supposed to… (we will just leave it at that!)
We got to see so many dolphins and even a manatee (we almost ran it over but we were paying very good attention and I screamed stop! And thankfully we were able to just miss it!)
Brought pizza and beer on the boat. Spent the whole afternoon cruising. We did not get in any trouble! All around I would say a great day! If I had more time to shop around, we may have found a better deal. But for a short notice boat trip, these guys really did a lot to accommodate us!
I would up the rating if the rental was a little cheaper or if the boat was a little nicer. Nevertheless, not too expensive and still a pretty nice boat.
I promise you can’t go wrong with Dolphin Marine Rentals, great staff, good boats, great times!

Nice boats, good people. They even have a cooler on board to keep your drinks cool. Overall a pretty good experience!
Don’t expect a brand new boat or anything, but what they’ve got is nice enough and the price is just about the same as everyone else in town maybe even a little cheaper.
Plan where you want to go first because driving out from here takes awhile before you can get to much of anything. Another boat rental closer to where you want to go might end up cheaper since you’ll spend less time driving there.

I rented a boat here last month. Customer service was very nice and helpful. They gave us a map. Boat ran well. No compalints.
