Manatee River Boat Rentals and Water Sports is building a select network of local boat owners interested in making their vessels available for professionally operated private trips.

If you have a quality boat and would like to explore a partnership, we'd like to hear from you.

Depending on the arrangement, Manatee River Boat Rentals can help with:

📣 Customer marketing
📅 Trip bookings
💬 Customer communication
👨‍✈️ Captain services
🧭 Trip planning and operation
📋 Ongoing customer coordination

Eric Hollar serves as the captain for partner-boat trips and brings 20 years of boating experience to the operation.

Each boat-owner relationship is evaluated individually based on the vessel, location, availability, and partnership arrangement.

We are interested in quality recreational boats such as:

🛥️ Pontoons and tritoons
🚤 Center consoles
🛥️ Other suitable vessels for private trips

Boats should be well maintained, clean, safe, and suitable for the type of experiences we offer.

We are particularly interested in boats located in or around:

🌴 Anna Maria Island
🚤 Bradenton
🌊 Sarasota
🏝️ Longboat Key
🌴 Siesta Key

Having boats in multiple locations allows us to provide customers with more options while creating additional opportunities for participating boat owners.

If your boat sits unused on days when you could be generating additional income, a partnership may be worth exploring.

Rather than handling all of the customer-facing work yourself, you can discuss an arrangement where Manatee River Boat Rentals helps bring the customers and Eric provides the captain services.

Tell us a little about your boat:

🛥️ Make and model
📅 Year
📏 Length
👥 Passenger capacity
📍 Location
📸 Photos
📅 General availability

We'll review the information and contact you to discuss whether the boat could be a good fit for our network.

We're building a select network of quality boats and local owners to provide private experiences throughout the Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, Longboat Key, and Siesta Key areas.
