Best place I ever rented a boat from, let me use fishing rods free of charge and was a complete professional when going over everything. Boats were Bentleys, nicest I ever rented. Had a amazing time fishing and crabbing

Had a great time on the water with our pontoon boat from Bay Venture. The online reservation process was simple and easy to navigate. We arrived a half hour before our scheduled departure and TJ and team were ready and waiting. Went through some paperwork, waterway navigation tips, boat safety and we were on our way. The boat was clean and in great shape.We spent time on the beach, had fun on the tube, had a great lunch at Chicks and then headed back! It was a full day and everyone enjoyed the fun!!If you just want to enjoy a day on the water let Bay Venture handle everything and just have fun! Can’t wait to do it again!!!

Absolutely adore this place!! If your looking for a great time on the water please book them!! The staff was amazing, they explained every little detail, and made sure we had the best experience. Next time will be for the full 8 hours, the 6 hours was not long enough. Thank you for the great experience, and more to come!!

Had a wonderful time renting a pontoon boat from Bay Venture. The process was wonderful and streamlined from beginning to end. Compared to other boat rental venues Ive used in the past, I thought the pricing was incredibly fair (loved that it included gas and didnt need to fill up at the end of the day) and the owner provided great training and easy ways to get in contact during the day if we needed anything. The boat was in perfect condition (brand new!) and ran great. We had a blast!

I rented a Pontoon Boat for my daughters birthday for a Sunday, the weather forecast was not in our favor so I reached out to see if I could move my reservation to Monday. Of course taking into consideration that they might not have a boat available. They were able to move my reservation to the next day!!!!The weather was perfect, and the surprise for my daughter was priceless. It was the best day on the water on an amazing boat at that.. The day could not have been more perfect. Of course none of this could have happened without Bay Venture being so accommodating and providing great customer service. Im already trying to plan our next day on the pontoon boat.

Great experience. Never have we had such thorough explanation all with pictures. The boats are spectacular. New, clean and comfortable. The owners are respectful and easy to deal with. We have rented boats every year on vacation for 6 years and this was by far the best experience. Thank you.

Wow! We had an incredible experience. The boats are absolutely amazing, luxurious, brand new, very spacious, fast and great for a day trip. We had a 5 year old and a 10 month old boys. They both had a blast! The customer service was outstanding, very helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to book a boat again in a week or two. 😊

Amazing family run business who did everything they could to ensure that our family had a great time. Very informative and detailed directions-and extensive safety precautions in place. The boat was new and had all the amenities you could ask for including bluetooth stereo. A great way to spend the day with family or friends. We had a blast and we will be back!

Renting a pontoon from Bay Venture is a must. My family and I enjoyed it immensely. The weather was perfect & the boat was so nice for the waterways we had access to. The owners were perfect hosts; thorough with the instruction on how to operate the boat- my father has a smaller pontoon but hasnt had it out in years, so he had experience. We look forward to renting again on our next visit to the area.

This is our second time renting a boat and just like the first time we had an amazing experience! The boat was clean, the instructions were super simple and the staff was awesome! The prices are super affordable. We had some scheduling conflicts this time and they worked with me! We cant wait to do it again!

My family and I always love renting boats from TJ and his dad! They are great guys with GREAT party pontoon boats. We do this every year (for at least 5 years) and several times per summer! We always go for at least the 6 hour rental - and even then the family never wants it to end!!

Review №23

Such a great experience! I went with a group of 8 other girls for my bachelorette. The owners were so helpful explaining everything to make sure we were safe. On our way home we took a wrong turn so we immediately called the owner and he was able to locate us on his GPS and get us turning back and home on time! I HIGHLY recommend Bay Venture Boat Rentals!!

Review №24

Had a great time! The boat was in impeccable condition! Clean and free of defects and issues! TJ did a great job explaining the local water ways. They worked with moving us up in the day with no issues. Obviously, that can’t always be the case so I was appreciative they accommodate the request. Price wise, I had no issues with paying it, especially with the condition of the equipment! Highly recommend this business!

Boat was in great shape! Good speakers/radio with bluetooth, not carpeted floor so you don’t have to worry about spills! Fit 10 adults and 2 coolers perfectly. They also made it super easy to navigate with maps of shallow areas and such. 10/10 would recommend!

We had a great time on the water in the pontoon boat we rented. The briefing beforehand takes the full 30 minutes and we felt we understood everything. We ended up taking a wrong turn and they called us and talked us through where we needed to go before we got into any trouble. Great experience and we will rent from here again!

Absolutely magical day. Played with my grandbabies in the water while fishies swim at our feet. Cruised up and down lynnhaven Bay with my fam. And then caught two beautiful fish that we gave back to lynnhaven Bay (of course).Bay venture boat rentals are 100% the best if you want to do this.

The pontoons were very well maintained and in perfect condition. The staff was friendly and made sure that we know all the important information about handling it before we could get into it. The circuit/route which we are supposed to take is pleasant and fun. The pontoon is decently easy to operate. The onboard manual provided by them is comprehensive and helps in figuring out the rules and operating it safely. We had an amazing experience!

Just got back from a fantastic day on the pontoon boats. Top notch outfit! Very informative on the operation down to the key points of interest to check out on our voyage. (This coming from several boat owners that were with us.) Sent our adult kids out on one boat and us on the other. We had an awesome time fishing, docking for lunch and tubing. If you are renting pontoon boats in the Virginia Beach area, this is the place you want to go!

Great outfit! Was able to secure a last minute boat due to a cancellation and had a wonderful time. Very detailed briefing if you haven’t operated a boat for a while like me. Boat was in excellent condition and felt well prepared for our day on the water. Had an excellent time tubing and grabbing a meal at Chicks. Very friendly and helpful staff. A must do while in VB!

Review №55

A really fun afternoon! And the price was very reasonable. The instructions seemed overwhelming in the office but thats because we were newbies. It was very easy to maneuver and navigate once on the water. Nothing to worry about. The boats are big and super comfortable. The owners are fantastic. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved it.Terry gives you a full safety brief and assures your safety is his #1 priority.I took my mom out for her birthday and we saw dolphins swim directly next to the boat!If you can drive a car, you can drive a pontoon boat - just pay attention to Terry’s brief!

Review №59

By far the absolute BEST experience with renting a pontoon boat! The boat was in perfect condition with a depth finder so we never had to worry about getting stuck. They dont just hand you a map of where you can go and send you on your way. There is a detailed binder with pictures so you never have to guess. We also did the tubing which was quite the experience for all of us. Would definitely rent from them again if we are in the area.

Review №60

I was in town visiting family, and it happened to be my girlfriends birthday, so a pontoon rental sounded like a great way to spend the day. TJ was super knowledgeable about the boat and the ins and outs of the waterways, so I felt extremely prepared once we actually set off. The day was cut a bit short by rain, but everything else was great. I would definitely rent from Bay Venture again!

Review №61

From the time that we arrived for our scheduled rental and training until the time that we left we were treated with friendliness and courtesy from all of the staff. The rental was in great condition, clean, and comfortable. We were provided a map of the areas we would have access to, a thorough review of what to expect in each area, and contact information if we ran into any trouble along our route. The experience that we had was nothing short of phenomenal and we look forward to another family outing with Bay Venture.

Review №62

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 hour pontoon experience this past weekend. TJ was nice and helpful! Our pontoon was very clean, and offered tons of storage. Connecting to their speaker via bluetooth was super easy and the maps/pictures provided helped us navigate the waters better. The views going through the bay - especially the beach, and the million dollar homes - are a sight to see. Well definitely rent a pontoon from Bay Venture again. Thanks!!

Review №63

From start to finish Terry and TJ were amazing, pretty funny too. Very clean boat, basically like new. They loaded and unloaded our coolers. Also, gave good tips on where to visit while out in the water. We had two boats to accommodate our large group, money well spent for a day out in the bays.

Had the best time, the boat was great. Not a lot of boating experience but there is a great orientation binder with annotated photos of the navigation points that goes with you on the boat. We have already booked our next trip.2021 Update: Third outing with them. Did the 6 hour and wished we had more time. Grandkids in town, and they loved the tubing. As with previous two times, the operators are very friendly and helpful.

Great Service, If I could give them 10 stars I would. We got in due to a cancellation . We went with Bay Venture because of their reviews, and we were not led a stray .They know everything about the local waterways and they make sure you do to, safety is a top priority . We were told where we could fish,where we could go tubing,where we could eat on the water/dockside,where we could find a rope swing and a quite beach to swim at. We hit all the sites, did some fishing, some tubing, got lunch at the Dockside, it was the highlight of our trip.Their fleet is band new and all the boats are mint condition Bentleys. Highly recommend this place for a fun time on the water.

Moved down to Virginia Beach during Covid-19, originally from Manhattan. Had a few friends from Home come visit and I wanted to show them a great time so we looked around and landed on Bay Adventures.... what an incredible choice. The price was unimaginable for renting a boat of that quality, TJ and Terry are so knowledgeable on their boats that they set you up for 100% success on your ride, and the area is absolutely beautiful. I could not recommend this company enough, and I guarantee I will be renting from them again. It would be foolish to not five Bay Rentals a shot.

Originally booked on a Tuesday, for a Friday 6 hr rental. Unfortunately, TJ calls me Thursday evening, letting me know the one we had rented was having issues, and had to cancel us. Big bummer for our family group of 12. He offered $100 towards our next rental, and to let us know of any cancellations. Well Saturday comes, and he tells us a group wants to cancel on Sunday, so off we went. Him and his dad, Terry, were great. Welcomed us as we entered the lot, went over everything, and gave us a hand with it all. We had a great time out there (just TONS of jellys), and boats are in great shape. Clean, no issues. Well definitely be renting again! Oh, we also rented the tube (well worth it, if you like to have fun, or with kids).

Review №98

Reliable boats, Staff was an absolute pleasure to work with, both on the phone and in the office. Theyll help you out if you get lost, which is pretty tough if you can read a map. If youre looking to explore the innner waterways and dont own your own boat, this is the way to go. I will definitely be using their services again and look forward to doing it again soon. Keep in mind that if you want to tube, you need at least three people going. Easy to pull up to the restaurants or you can bring your own cooler and eats. Either way, as long as its a nice day, youll have a great trip.
