Anchors Away Boat Rentals … thank you for making our trip to the Keys so wonderful. Everything was so organized & the boat was perfect for the 6 of us. Josey explained in detail what we needed to know. Kylie went above & beyond to guide us to the most amazing places to visit & have lunch. The trip to Alligator Reef was a dream come true as we watched a pod of dolphin 🐬 surrounding our boat & jumping ! I highly recommend Anchors Away & can’t wait to come back! Thank you again! 🚤❤️🐬

Highly recommend for your next boat rental experience! Kylie was the best, she showed us all of the perfect spots to see sea turtles, dolphins, and beautiful fish. Such an amazing boat day, can’t wait to come back :)

Our boat rental from Anchors Away was perfect. The boat was well equipped and clean. Mia was very helpful in getting us out on the water right away. I'm an experienced boater, and Mia's explanation of how to work the GPS and the chart briefing were helpful. We spent the afternoon making a circumnavigation of Plantation Key with a stop at the Toilet Seat Cut to add our own marker. Lots of sun and fun (Google Toilet Seat Cut if you aren't familiar with it)

We rented a deck boat for a full day. Staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We have never boated in the keys before. We felt comfortable when we left the dock, ready to explore! GPS was easy to use and tracks were already programmed in for us. It was easy to go to all the spots we wanted to explore. Islamorada sandbar is a MUST do!!!! And very easy to find! We cannot wait to come back next year! Price for rentals/gas was very reasonable too.

We rented a 23' NAUTICSTAR CC for two days during this past New Years. We picked it up first thing Saturday morning and returned it at 5pm on Sunday. The service was excellent! Our family made many memories that will not soon be forgotten. We travelled as far as we could while we had the boat. From Rodriguez Key to Alligator Reef the boat handled fantastic and the programed routes were invaluable! We will be returning soon and will definitely rent with Anchors Away Boat Rentals again!Thanks again for the great experience!

Friendly knowledgeable staff assisted to ensure we had a great day on the water. Would recommend Anchors Away Boat Rentals to anyone looking to experience the ultimate Keys experience- On The Water! Will return to make more great memories. Thanks again Josie & Justin!

Everyone there was super friendly and very helpful. The main one we dealt with, I believe his name is Dustin, was great. He answered all our questions and explained everything to us. He gave my husband some good recommendations for fishing, and where to take me to play in the water. If we come down this way again we will definitely use their services again.

I had a fantastic experience with Anchors Away Boat Rental! The booking process was a breeze—quick and straightforward, letting you get on with your day without a hassle. The GPS system was particularly user-friendly, which made it easy to locate fun spots like the sandbar, enhancing our enjoyment. The boats were clean, well-maintained, and easy to operate. Plus, the staff was friendly and incredibly helpful, always ready to assist with any questions. This service is a great alternative to buying a boat outright. It offers a chance to learn about boating and to determine which type of boat might fit your needs if you're considering a purchase. Highly recommend for a stress-free boating adventure!

Excellent experience at Anchors Away Boat Rentals. Boats are in great shape, fully operational and seaworthy. Max did an excellent job with the pre trip explanation and very attentive to any needs we had. Great explanation on where to go to fish and snorkel. When we returned, Max was “Johnny on the spot” helped fuel and unload the boat and finalize the rental. A great family run business and well worth the experience. A great value to anyone.

I have been coming here to rent boats 3 years in a row last year they were busy so I had to go to 2 other places to rent boats but the experience was not as nice as this one that’s why I keep coming back! Mia and her family run such a clean operation the boats and props are always in top shape, run well and feel safe! The marina is the easiest place for beginners to dock out very easy to find and they map out your plan in the gps so if you want to do things like see the toilet bowl, alligator reef, the sandbar or dock up at a restaurant to eat, they will make sure all those places are marked on the navigation software and line it out so you can follow a route to get their easily. Highly recommend!!! Best prices in the keys for the quality of boat and customer service! They are also dog friendly!

This place is amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, got a free upgrade, due to an error in scheduling. Everything worked great on the boat, many preloaded places of interest on the gps. Would hands down recommend this place if you want to rent a boat. Great location too!

Our experience renting a boat from Anchors Away is nothing but spectacular! The boats are really well maintained and they have a great assortment of sizes and styles. Kylie was incredible and her check in procedure and boat precheck tells you everything you need to know and includes a GPS with preloaded map of locations of cool things to see.My docking skills aren’t the best and they made it super easy to push off and return the boat.This was our first time renting here, but we will definitely be back the next time we are key largo!

The staff has truly been one of the greatest I've worked with. The boats were all taken care of, of course you'll have some wear and tare but still, the quality was superb. They set you up with travel routes and all.

Mia was very friendly & helped us through the whole process. The boat was well equipped & GPS mapping made it very easy to find all your attraction points . I would highly recommend this marina & outfitter . A family owned & operated business makes the entire experience much more personal & pleasurable.

Natalie was fantastic getting us underway and welcoming us back at the end of the day. Her explanations answered all of our questions and she dialed up perfect weather.The online availability calendar was a plus and allowed us to find you and a boat on two days notice.We were on the water early and found we were alone at some of the popular places. The boat ran perfectly with no issues noted.We appreciate the consideration given to Military and First Responders. We will rent again from Anchors Away.

Welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, happy crew! Everyone we interacted with was so happy despite the awful heat! We set up our boat rental 2 days in advance and then decided to get a bigger boat and there were no problems. Mia was very accommodating. We had deck boat #16 and made memories to last a lifetime in just a few hours! The crew made the process easy, the navigation was set up with points of interest ready to go! The boat was a good size with great seating for the four of us and our gear including two Yeti coolers. We made good use of all the storage compartments. All the safety gear was convenient in one place. We stopped twice to snorkel, once to swim and once to fish.When we arrived back the crew was waiting there for us to help us dock. They got a cart for us to easily unload everything and even helped us with that. They took the boat from that point which was great we did not have to do anything. Mia was so happy to hear our stories and offered my 9 year old a gift from the treasure box! ❤️ We thank you so much! We can only hope to get another boat from you in the future!

We had the most AWESOME experience with Anchors Away. All 30 of their rental boats had pre-programmed GPS routes making it so easy to get to and from anywhere we wanted to go. Mia and Kylie made the check in process such a breeze and gave us AWESOME local restaurant recommendations. Max gave us a quick walk-through showing us everything we need to know on the boat and then we were off! Everything ran so smoothly and the staff were so friendly and quick to get back to us with anything we needed. We have been vacationing to the Keys each year and this is the best boat rental experience we have ever had. 10/10 will be returning. Thank you Anchors Away!!

Mia and Dustin are amazing. Great customer service and boats are in stellar condition. They do an awesome job going over every detail of the boat and making sure you’re comfortable going out. Will be back again

We have a great experience with Anchors Away, they were super helpful with all our questions, Mia and her brother were super nice and give us a lot of advice on where to go. This is our second year renting a boat from them. We will definitely rent a boat again with them.

Amazing experience. Would definitely recommend. We ended up stopping to swim in one of the channels and had a manatee and dolphin come swim with us

We were looking to rent a boat while vacationing in Key Largo and found Anchors Away on Google - and was blown away by all the 5 star reviews. So we gave them a shot - and we can say the impressive reviews are legitimate!Great people to deal with and a great fleet of boats to choose from.They made the whole process easy and enjoyable. LOVED all the pre-programmed tracks in the NAV units. All you had to do was select where you wanted to go to next and follow the route on the screen. Loved it.Other Anchors Away rentals were everywhere we went. Just so impressive. We will certainly choose them again if the opportunity arises!

Had an amazing time, and such great service at Anchors Away boat rental! Kylie, Johnny, and everyone were really friendly and so helpful. The rental process was so easy for pick up and return. Can’t wait for our next trip, we will definitely return!

Awesome experience. Very knowledgeable of the area and where to go. The boat was a little dated but that is what one should expect when you book the day before. We were just glad to find one to hold our party of 7. Much cheaper route to go and snorkle with a group compared to doing "snorkeling trips" and you can enjoy other beautiful spots as well. Mia was amazing!! Such a helpful and sweet young lady.

Anchors Away Boat Rentals was awesome. I thought I booked another day so we no showed on the date we booked but they rescheduled with 0 issue. They were super friendly and helpful checking the boat in and out. They provided a route with way points to snorkeling and fishing spots and rented us fishing poles and an ice chest making everything really easy. My kids had the time of their lives on the boat. Refueling the boat at the end of the day was super easy because the fuel dock is right there as is a bait shop.

We had a fantastic experience with Anchors Away Boat Rentals! The boat was in great shape and well kept. Kylie checked us in and had a wonderful and inviting personality. Geoff went over the boat and all the accessories and gave us all all the local knowledge on spots to check out. We had a unforgettable 2 day rental and would recommend to anyone!

Had an amazing day on our Anchors Away rental boat. Kylie was awesome setting us up and teaching us the ropes! The boat was easy to drive and the Garmin GPS was easy to use. We will definitely be back!

This is a great company to rent a boat from!!! The boat itself was very clean and after 3 days of running it pretty much all day from inshore to offshore it worked flawlessly with no issues. Also the staff is amazing, very responsive, and attentive. We checked the boat out from Mia and Dustin and they were great to work with. Upon drop off of the boat after a 3 day bachelor party on the water, Kylie and Josie were great. If you’re in the area and looking to do something on the water, I strongly recommend checking these guys out. I will definitely be back when I am in the area next time!
