BluWave Boat Rental is both a boat rental company and a charter/tour boat company serving Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, and Sarasota, Florida, fully licensed, insured, and U.S. Coast Guard compliant. The business offers genuinely generous boundaries, including the Gulf and western Tampa Bay, and allows overnight rentals — guests choose how long to keep the boat at their slip.

The fleet includes a 22′ Avalon (offshore fishing or family bay cruising), a 21′ Tahoe deck boat (comfortable for the whole family and friends), and 17′, 18′, and 19′ Carolina Skiffs (perfect for a day on the blue waves with family and friends). Boat handling training is also offered for guests without much Gulf experience, wanting to be their own captain rather than limited to charter trips.

Guest reviews are extraordinarily glowing, with reviewers describing genuine, above-and-beyond service — including owner Rick driving a customer nearly an hour home after her truck broke down, and another owner picking guests up by boat directly at their house. Reviewers consistently praise clean, well-maintained boats stocked with complimentary ice and water, competitive rates, and dolphin sightings along the way.

For families and groups near Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, or Sarasota, Florida looking for a highly reviewed, personable boat rental or charter with genuinely generous cruising boundaries, BluWave Boat Rental offers an outstanding operation.
