Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We (two couples with 3 teens) rented a Duffy boat for a three hour excursion in the morning. It was delightful! Everything from operating the boat to what to see/do was thoroughly explained. The boat is really quiet, very comfortable and ridiculously easy to operate. We used the provided speaker to stream some reggae tunes as we cruised through the water. Beached the boat for a bit to sit in the sand/swim. Saw a pod of dolphins on our way back to the marina. Great, relaxing way to spend the morning! Highly recommend! Thank you!

My family and I had an excellent experience with VB Boat Rentals! We rented the pontoon boat for the evening and had a great time cruising up the canal and visiting the sandbar. VB Boat Rentals gave us an excellent captain's safety briefing and were very friendly, and professional.
Overall was a great experience for both kids and adults. We will definitely be booking with them the next time we're in town!

We had such a great time on the pontoon boats. Everything was clean and ran very well. The area was beautiful to explore by boat, especially the Narrows. The company was very flexible with us when we rescheduled because of rain. I highly recommend them.

I set this up for my husbands birthday...such a great time! Susan and the staff of VB Boat Rentals were very accommodating and super casual. They even extended our time when we couldn't get started on time because of some late members of our party. We will definitely use this company again!!

We are so glad your husband's birthday was full of fun and excitement on the water. And we do what we can to make things work out for everyone, fortunately you were the last cruise of the day on that boat and we were able to accommodate you even with a couple of late guests. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Thanks for making our evening very memorable. My family came in town ( Virginia Beach) at the last minute and we wanted to do something special for them; Susan made it happen. A week later they are still talking about it! This was an awesome event. This is a must try for birthday parties, girls day out, women retreat , or just for a relaxing evening. We are going back at least every other month.

I can not say enough what a great service we received from VB boat rentals. Our original boat get away for wedding fell through 5 days before the big day and Susan with VB Boat rental came through to save the day in spades! The 23'Duffy was a beautiful boat and the perfect way to depart the reception at Lesner's Inn to begin new adventure together. A sweet surprise and enjoyed the solitude and calm cruise provided a tour of the the beautiful inlets and waters around marina shores together. Thank you Susan for your professionalism and beautiful boat. The drone captured get away and will provide a lasting memory of this special day. May you continue to have success in your business!

We had a great time the weather turned out perfect. Susan was really helpful. Wish the boat would have gone a little faster, but it went up to perfect cruising speed. The 3 hours flew by next time I'd go a little longer.

Great to hear that you want to spend more time on the water! And yes the boat is made for a nice cruise where you can enjoy conversation, food, and drinks with friends without having to tell over a loud motor so the speed is what it is but most everyone adjusts to it and appreciate the quiet ride. Thank you again for your business!

The VERY BEST of all rentals available in the Va Beach/Norfolk/Hampton roads area!! We have rented dozens of boats in the area but none can compare to the quality, cleanliness, appearance, and efficiency of the boats that are provided by this business. High quality maintenance with a top-notch mechanic is evident with a professional and friendly host who really knows her stuff. We have already recommended this business to our military friends and family in the area. This company is a must-use! The center console fish/play boat was perfect for introducing our grandsons to fishing in the Chesapeake Bay as well as tube riding along the shore. The tube that we added to our rental was superb-grandsons loved everything about this rental as did we. The motor was powerful, the boat planed out well. Easy to drop the anchor and fish under the bridges. All equipment was in good working condition, and everything necessary was on the boat as per guidelines. The boat was easy to operate, clean, and very spacious with necessary and useful amenities. Hooking up the tube was simple and quick. There is a radio but we didn't have an interest in noise. There is a large screen GPS/chartplotter that is simple to use by even the newest boater.
There are plenty of cup holders and pole holders to make everyone comfortable and live wells on the center console boat for those keeping their catch or using live bait. The seats were clean and comfortable. Plenty of clean, high-quality life jackets. Great pricing, excellent products, wonderful host, location is easy to find, plenty of parking, easy access to the bay and inland waterways for all-day fun and fishing. Pack a lunch, pack some snacks, get some poles, grab family/friends and rent from this business-We will continue to recommend this company to our friends, family, and military family. We will return to this business every trip. Can't wait to rent again!
