Customer Reviews
“Big, big fun aboard a classy clean new boat! Marvelous maritime memories in the beautiful waters around Clearwater Beach. Thank you for a peak boating experience! Looking forward to next time.”
– Laura May Nickerson Vitali
What a great experience! My friend and I rented the Mako yesterday. When we got there, her truck completely stopped. Rick took us to the dock so we could go and still enjoy our day. While we were out on the water, Rick even tried to get her truck running for us. After our fun filled day at sea, we got back and her truck still wasn’t running. Rick went out of his way and took us all the way home which was almost an hour away. He was very kind and helpful. Any other place would’ve left us stranded with no way home. I will definitely be telling everyone I know about this place and experience. I can’t say enough great things about them. And on top of all this, their rates beat any other place around. The boats are super clean and run great. We went out to celebrate my bday and it was amazing! Thank you Rick!!!!!

February 21, 2018- Rented the 18ft mako after renting from another local place by far Bluwave was the best place/deal and better people to deal with. Very friendly couple and awesome boat which was well maintained. Next year we will be calling them again.

Amazing morning on the boat with dolphins, drinks, and fun! Highly recommend ❤️Karen Granaudo Medford
November 18, 2018 We rented the Tahoe on Easter weekend and loved every minute of it! The boat has lots of storage and still accommodated 10 adults comfortably. We cruised around some of the Tampa Bay islands and only used up about 10 gal. of fuel. Definitely plan to call BluWave for your next Tampa bay adventure!Yuriy Julia Lutsenko
