5.00Had an amazing experience! I took my girlfriend a surprise for her birthday. Chris was amazing to work with, all the attention to detail details, from customized coasters celebrating her birthday, to adding ballon’s, to the customize keychains, to customize poster wishing her a happy birthday, and the printed photos to take home. All the little things that made her birthday and the entire experience absolutely incredible!

Miss Duffy!

5.00When Miss Duffy pulled up in all her pink striped splendor, we were all so pleasantly surprised and happy.. It was a special occasion, but we didn’t share that with the owner, and we didn’t have to because, he made it special, anyway. The wind blew like crazy but we didn’t care because we were so cozy in the blankets that were supplied. From wine to strawberries, personal coasters and a printed out photo at the end! All the accoutrements were there. Next year we hope to have another rendezvous with our newest love, Miss Duffy! Thank you for trusting us with her...
Personal Touches made the Boat Ride Even Better

5.00We rented an Electric Boat over the Christmas Holidays and had a wonderful time. There were 5 adults and a 3 year old. It was easy to find the boat ramp. Parking close by. The boat was decorated for Christmas and we were greeted with personalized coasters, a great charcuterie board and a bottle of champagne. We forgot a life jacket for our 3 year old, but they had one for us. Before we took off a picture was taken and when we returned our group picture was waiting for us. Overall it was a great day and I would highly recommend. All of the small personal touches were unnecessary, but made for a great experience. We would be happy to rent again.
Festive Holiday Boat Ride!

5.00Visiting St. Pete for the holidays, we came across St. Pete Beach Electric Boat Co. while researching activities—and booking the festive, self-guided holiday electric boat cruise could not have been easier. From the moment we made the reservation, Chris was incredibly responsive and truly elevated the entire experience. This is a family-owned business, and it shows in every thoughtful detail. Chris, the owner, was so sweet, welcoming, and accommodating. The boat itself was perfect—beautifully decorated for the Christmas season, equipped with a Bluetooth speaker, a lovely charcuterie board, and sparkling rosé. Before we set off, Chris thoroughly walked us through the safety features, provided a map, and gave helpful tips on where to go (and where to avoid), which made us feel completely at ease. We had such a lovely day on the water—even when we made a wrong turn, it all worked out and became part of the fun. This was the perfect way to cap off our weekend in St. Pete Beach. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful family-run company, and we will absolutely be back!

5.00We decided to try something different on our holiday visit to St. Pete Beach this year. The night trip on a Duffy boat during Christmas was a perfect choice! With our holiday music playing and decked out with Christmas lights not only did we feel the holiday spirit - I’m sure anyone that saw us did too!!! It was so much fun cruising around exploring! Chris went the extra mile with personalized coasters, beverages, and charcuterie. The boat is super easy to drive and a map is provided in case you need it. Chris also took great pics for us - which he printed a 8x10 for us to take home. Perfect ending to our trip! If you are in need of holiday cheer - book the boat! Or….. any time - the Duffy boat ride will make a nice adventure any time of year!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely magical experience!

5.00We had the most beautiful time. The boat ride was peaceful, the weather was perfect, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins playing right near us! We had a charcuterie board and champagne, which made the whole experience feel so relaxing and special. Our eight-year-old had an absolute blast, between spotting wildlife, watching fish jump out of the water, and “helping” navigate, he was smiling the entire time. After the boat ride, we enjoyed taking one of their Moke electric vehicles to tour around. It turned the whole outing into a full family adventure and made the day feel extra special. Highly recommend to families, couples, or anyone who wants a true Florida adventure.
Perfect afternoon on the water

5.00We had such a wonderful time on our two-hour electric boat rental! The whole experience was relaxing, fun, and incredibly easy from start to finish. I loved that we could drive our own boat—it made the outing feel like our own little adventure without any stress. The personal touches from Chris made everything even lovelier. If you’re looking for a simple, peaceful excursion on the water, this is absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!
