So fun and safe – We had the best time and felt so well prepared and safe with instructions and maps. 90 minutes was maybe too short. 2 hours would have been perfect. From Jewish… read more key to Anna maria and back.

Great Experience! – Highly recommended! Cleanest rentals I’ve ever seen, the fleet is new and very clean. Great customer service and they get you on the water quickly and informed. … read more All the boats have Garmin gps units that are very easy to read and the staff has waypoints saved. The waypoints include numerous sandbars and points of interest, including an area where you’re most likely to see dolphins. Rented a boat for 2 days, and we’re able to see Jewfish, sisters, the dolphin area, and sandollar area. We saw dolphins, and the overall rental experience was second to none. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!

H20 Watersportz just hosed me for new prop because of a 2cm chip. Truly wish I would’ve taken photos beforehand. The owner and her littler helper, Dale were both… read more stuck on pinning me for the chip in the prop. Literally never left the channel. Save your money and time and avoid this place. Not only were they rude, but Dale made a comment after I requested the old prop. He said “good luck seeking that on EBAY. You might get $10”. Well Dale, that just shows the type of operation you’re running and the equipment you’re renting out. I know for a fact the prop was returned the way we found it.

This is a long, long-overdue review of our 2nd trip with H2O Watersportz in November 2020 after our first trip on 11/7/20. We had a second fantastic experience in… read more the 17′ center console, spending the day going down and back the Gulf side of Long Boat Key, then down the ICW and back through Sarasota Bay. Every day here seems to be eventful — we passed a monster truck churning the water off the Coquina Beach South boat ramp – figured it was just another Sunday on Longboat Pass. Search for it on the ‘Tube 🙂
What I return to time and again in my memories is my gratitude to Dale, Captain Andrew (from our first trip) and Blossom for getting us on the water. Thanks again to Dale on this trip for his calm, patience and radiant kindness. Here I am 7 months later writing this review, the experience was that great, starting with the check in with Blossom and Dale’s introduction to the boat, then on to the day’s fun on the water and our return. Dale thoroughly explained all the equipment in the boat and expertly coached us on the controls. Listen, learn, absorb and do.
We’ve since had some more boating adventures but these two with H2O Watersportz were tops. We can’t thank you enough and we will return!

H2O is the way to go! From answering my emails about availability, to giving us pointers on where to go for the smoothest ride (had my little one with). Dale… read more did an awesome job explaining the jet skis to us and was very thorough with the handling and operation of them. Chris & Blossom run a stellar business and when we come back to Anna Maria, we will definitely rent from them again.

1st class all the way. The pontoon boat was in excellent condition and Blossom and the staff did a great job in going over the equipment and waters. … read more This is a challenging area to navigate a low tide and the GPS chart plotter was excellent, along with the instructions on how to use it.
I would do this again in a heartbeat!
