This charter company is out of Islamorada...Fl keys. You get what you pay for. boats are all junk. All the ports/hatches leaked. We refused the 1st boat and then took a 33(or34)ft. Watkins. Leaks...equiptment did not work and holding tank pump was broken. Actually had to use a bucket. Interior wood so rotten that we got splinters. No chase boat. It goes on and on. and this was the better of their boats!
Sorry to hear that, I used them about 4 years ago and found them reasonable for the price, guess they have gone down hill. We took the 33 ft watkins, it had a couple of minor issues, but everything (except the anchor light) worked. But no issues that required a "chase boat"
Treasure harbor marine charters- Fl. Keys Best rental I've had
we just had a absolutely lovely day charter from Pam at Treasure Harbor. The Watkins 32 "Sea Mist" was the cleanest rental I've ever seen. Completely spotless.
Pam was amazing and did a great briefing on how to get out of the rather shallow cut out of the harbor. We also loved the snorkeling out at the hen and chicks reef which is close.
My experience makes me question if the first poster's is still valid. Or ever was accurate.
I highly recommend it.

We had our boat in charter for a few years while our sons were in high school and i found that many times when I would have a report that something on the boat failed to work for someone chartering the boat it worked fine for the Charter company crew or worked fine for me when I was there afterwards.
there are some very poor charter companies and unfortunately some poor Charterers as well. I would want to take the any posting that bad about a company and has differing posted reports with a Leary mind.
Do companies hire people to scour the internet for bad reviews and then join the site where a bad review is published to post some damage control? It just seems odd that a member's first post is to defend a particular vendor?
Happens all the time. Google is everyone's friend.
