About Boats To You Rentals

One captain, two boats, and a lake full of dock deliveries since 2017.

We are a family owned boat rental in Orlando. There is no counter, no marina, and no line. You tell me the lake and the date, I put the boat in the water, and you walk down to it.

Boats To You Rentals has been family owned in Orlando since 2017. It is not a fleet operation with a dock office and a queue. It is a couple of well-kept boats, a truck and a trailer, and a captain who answers his own phone.

The idea has stayed the same the whole time: the boat should come to you. No trailer to borrow, no ramp to fight for on a Saturday morning, no drive out to a marina before your day even starts. We deliver to your dock, your vacation rental, or a public ramp on whichever lake you picked.

That covers Orlando, Kissimmee, Belle Isle, Maitland, Winter Park, St. Cloud and the lakes around them, from Lake Toho and the Conway Chain to the Butler Chain and the St. Johns River.

“I’ve been on Central Florida lakes and rivers for nearly 10 years. I know where the sandbar is, where the water gets skinny, and where the sunset looks best.”

Captain Mike, owner

What is different about renting from us

Four things people notice, usually in this order.

The boat comes to you

Your dock, your vacation home, or a public ramp on the lake you picked. It is in the water, fueled and cleaned before you walk down.

One price, all in

Delivery, fuel and 6.5% Florida sales tax are already in the number I quote you. Nothing gets added at the ramp.

A captain if you want one

Never driven a boat, or would rather watch the kids than the water? Add me for $150 for the first 4 hours and I will drive.

Licensed and looked after

Florida Livery Rental Permit, full insurance, and both boats serviced by professional master technicians.

The captain you will actually be texting

Every message, quote and delivery goes through one person. When you text the number on this site, it is Captain Mike who replies, and it is Captain Mike who shows up with the boat.

“You bring the cooler, I’ll handle the rest.”

$150 to add a captain for the first 4 hours

then $25 per hour after that

Licensed master captain

U.S.C.G. 100-Ton Inland Master Captain License with a Towing Assistance Endorsement.

Safety and instruction

National Safe Boating Council Certified Instructor, First Aid and CPR certified.

Industry knowledge

Licensed Florida Boat Broker (#12879) with a Business Management degree from the University of South Florida.

How a rental actually goes

Three steps. Most people text me first.

Call or text your lake and date

Tell me where you are staying or which lake you want. I confirm the boat, the time and the price right away.

I deliver the boat to you

Your dock, your vacation home, or a public ramp on the lake. The boat is in the water, fueled and ready when you walk down.

You go boating, I pick it up

Drive it yourself after a quick walkthrough, or add me as your captain. When you are done, I meet you back at the dock.

Two boats, and that is on purpose

A calm one and a fast one, both kept to the same standard. One relaxes, one pulls a tube. Whichever you pick, it arrives with the safety gear on board and the fuel already paid for.

Rented a Bayliner boat with the tube on the back for my brother's birthday and we had a blast! Captain Mike was a good time, he made sure we were comfortable and made it fun! Plus I was able to bring my two corgis along for the ride which made it even better!

We had the best experience with Boats to You Rentals! The boat was in the water and ready to go by the time we arrived. Captain Mike went over everything and made sure my grandchildren were fitted with the very best life jackets. We're all looking forward to our next boating adventure with Boats to You!

Top notch experience. Mike met us at the Saint John River boat launch and got us all in the boat and met us there again 6 hrs later. Very reasonable rates and clean boat.

We had an amazing time with Boats To You Rentals! Our family cruise around the Lake Conway Chain of Lakes was the highlight of our week. Captain Mike was professional, punctual, knowledgeable about the area, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. It was so relaxing to just sit back and enjoy the scenery while everything was handled for us. If you’re looking to do something different in South Orlando, I cannot recommend this enough. It’s a great escape from the typical tourist spots and just fun for the whole family. We will definitely be booking with him again!

Mike was very responsive, he met us at the dock gave me a quick tour of the boat and we were off. The boat is in great shape with Bluetooth speakers built-in so you can listen to music. The lake he met us on is beautiful for fishing. We had an awesome time. Highly recommend.
