In 2002, what started off as silly banter over cheap cigars and even cheaper beer has turned into the largest family owned boat rental company in the entire Tampa Bay area! We started with just one sailboat doing half and full day sailing charters. We then added a 2nd and then a 3rd sailboat by 2006.
Whoa, there buddy! This section answers 99.9% of the questions we get asked over the phone and email. Looking for our rates? Go HERE for charter rates. Looking for our address or directions to our location? Go HERE. How far in advance should you book a boat? - During the week 1-2 days is normally fine.
Bring your own drinks, you have a designated driver! Swim, snorkel and hang out in the water anchored on a sandy underwater shoal. Or visit Durney Key and view the historic stilt homes built over the water. Or go up the river stopping at a waterfront restaurant and viewing all the beautiful mansions.
Our Tiki Boat has a 4 speaker BlueTooth stereo, 6 bar stools, bar counter and even a rest room! There is a fresh water shower, cell phone holders, drinks holders and six USB cell phone charger ports. For Sunset Tiki Boat charters there is under counter lighting, festive under roof lighting and even under water lighting!

Spent Mother's Day on the water. The weather was phenomenal. Rental was smooth All paperwork completed online Boat was newer and very spacious. 22 footer accommodated 8 with ease. We have rented several times and have had 5 star experiences everytime! We will be back! Thank you for a memorable Mother's day

Couldn't be more happy with our experience renting a pontoon boat from these guys. Their location proximity to the home we were renting was super convenient. The process for booking, and picking up the rental was simple. We had no troubles with the boat we rented, and had an absolute blast exploring the nearby islands. Everything worked as expected on the boat.
The motor on the boat was a 50hp, and not a 70hp as advertised. We were told it was because the previous motor burned up the day before. Definitely underpowered for the distance we had to travel to get to the islands, but on the upshot, they compensated us for the gas we would have used on a larger motor. Definitely will rent again when we are back in town!

Ash scattering - On one of the most difficult days of my life, saying goodbye to my mom, Windsong Charters and Captain Spencer and Captain Doug made everything so easy! Their website made it so simple to schedule and choose the boats that best fit our needs. Evan was great and answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and peaceful day. Thank you all so much! We will definitely schedule some fun trips in the future.

Beautiful area for boating. Pontoon boat prices are very reasonable. The rental the process was quick and easy, 99% could be done online. Windsong staff was friendly and thorough. Loved there straightforward website. The what not to do and the wall of shame had me laughing. Great way to get your point across!

Great day out on the ocean. Super affordable and easy to coordinate. Captain Doug was awesome. He took us out to the best spots and answered our endless questions on boat driving and etiquette. I really wish we could have done a full day tour instead of just a half day. The sand bar was our favorite part. Can't wait to book again.

Great place! Next to Widow Fletchers. Look for the kayaks. Great selection of boats, friendly staff. Read the rules before you rent so there's no surprises and you're fine. We went over by about an hour but we expected the fine. I do wish there were speed monitors in the wake area to appease the homeowners and the boaters. Only complaint is one of our two boats was noticeably slower than the other. Seemed like something was off with it.
