Reel Blessed Boat Rentals is a military family-owned pontoon boat rental business run by owner Ricky, meeting renters at the 64th Street Boat Ramp in First Landing State Park, Virginia Beach. The 20-foot Godfrey Marine Sweetwater pontoon seats up to 8 passengers and requires no boater’s license, though renters do need ample power boating experience.
The boat gives guests an easy way to cruise Virginia Beach’s inland waters, including Linkhorn Bay, Broad Bay, Crystal Lake, Long Creek, and Lynnhaven Inlet, with options to pull up to the beach, float and relax, or grab a bite at several on-the-water restaurants along the route.

Add-ons are available for an extra fee, including fishing poles and tackle, a portable beach tent, a barbecue grill and cooler combo, inflatable stand-up paddleboards, and an inflatable 2-person tube.
Weekday rates run $350 for 4 hours, $450 for 6 hours, or $550 for 8 hours, with fuel included in every rental and no security deposit required. The business maintains a flexible cancellation policy, offering free cancellations up to 24 hours before the booking and a full weather-related refund at any time before the trip; guests can also choose to go out and prorate for weather, with covered spots available to wait out a short rain.
