About the Orlando boat rental team
The people who bring you the boat
Three people run this business. One of us answers the phone, one of us backs the trailer down the ramp, and often it is the same person. Here is who you are dealing with before you ever step on board.

Founder
Meet Captain Mike (Michael Rice)
Captain Mike is the founder of Boats To You Rentals. Since launching the business in 2017, he has been driven by a lifelong passion for the water that began during his childhood in Memphis, Tennessee.
With extensive experience navigating the Tennessee River near Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and the lakes and rivers of Central Florida, Mike understands the restorative power of a day spent on the water.
A true “people person”: the goal is a seamless, stress-free concierge experience.
That means helping friends and families leave the city behind and create lasting memories, whether that is skiing, tubing, or simply relaxing on the lake.

Bookings, logistics and delivery
About Angela
Angela is the friendly voice, and often the face, behind many of your Orlando boat rental experiences. Originally from upstate New York, she has called Central Florida home since childhood and has deep roots in our local waterways.
If you call, text, or email to book your pontoon or deck boat, Angela is likely the one you will speak with. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things boating, from recommending the right boat size and layout for your group to suggesting the ideal lake or chain for your plans, whether that is a relaxed family cruise, a tubing session, or a fishing outing.
She might even be the one personally delivering and setting up your boat right at your dock.
Angela earned her business degree from Valencia College right here in Orlando, which gives her a strong foundation in business operations, and she brings exceptional organisational skills to everything she does.

Summer captain
About Harrison
Harrison works with us in the summer months and is a popular requested captain. You can always count on having a fun time on the water when he is at the helm.
Born and raised in Texas, his past work experience covers underwater welding, commercial hauling, and work as an oil well technician. Chances are, during the summer, Harrison will be the one backing your Orlando boat rental into the water at the ramp.
