Explored the Manatee River in Bradenton and Anna Maria Island! Eric was very knowledgeable!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ January 2026 New
We had an unforgettable day on the water thanks to Manatee River Boat Rental. The boat was clean, comfortable, and incredibly easy to operate — perfect for a family outing. Cruising through the Bradenton waterways and along the Manatee River was absolutely beautiful, with calm water and plenty of great fishing spots. The owner was very cautious about our safety due to some fog in the morning and made sure we were all safe.
From start to finish, the rental process was smooth, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking to make real family memories on the water, this is the place to rent from. We’ll definitely be back for another rental.

Bareboat Charter Disclaimer:
A bareboat charter (or "demise charter") is essentially a rental of the vessel only, similar to renting a car. The key elements and disclaimers are that the charterer must have full control and assume all responsibility. Charterer takes full control: The person leasing the boat is responsible for operating it, including managing the crew, fuel, food, and insurance. Passenger limit: To remain in the "recreational vessel" category and avoid commercial regulations, the total number of people on board (including the charterer and any crew) cannot exceed 12, regardless of the boat's capacity plate. Legal responsibility: The charterer assumes all legal obligations and liability for the vessel and passengers during the rental period.
