Avis Extreme Naples Charters- "Sand Ray"-Social Distancing at it's Best!

We had a great stay, & we were very comfortable. Owners were available for our questions when needed, the area was quiet at night, and the club amenities were a nice bonus.

Enjoyed my time on the boat. Everything I needed for a week long stay. Owners very responsive.

I usually stay in hotels on vacation, but wanted to try something out of my comfort zone for my trip to the Everglades. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying on this comfortable, cozy, clean, and well-stocked boat which was plenty of room for 4 adults. Tia and Chris went the extra mile to make sure our stay was special. Chris greeted us at the entrance of the marina to guide us to the boat and gave us a very thorough orientation. It was nice sipping morning coffee on the deck while watching gators parade down the canal, and my daughter enjoyed a little fishing off the deck. The boat is located in a great spot close to the parking lot, and in walking distance to the hotel with a restaurant(The Angler's Cove) which has great food(and service) that is reasonably priced. After a day-long fishing trip in the Big Cypress National Preserve, we came back to the boat and cleaned our fish at the handy, nearby marina fish cleaning station. Our cleaned catch was stored in the nice- sized refrigerator on the boat . We watched football and baseball on one of several of the televisions on board. Showers were on the smaller size than I am used to, (but it's a boat ,after all), and they were very clean with nice towels and toiletries supplied. The king -sized bed in the larger bedroom was very comfortable and the bunk beds in the other bedroom were a good size and readily accommodated 2 adults. We had one minor issue with the toilets on day one, but Chris came immediately to fix them(no fault of theirs) and we had no further issues. All in all, I wish we had booked this boat for a longer stay...great location, great accommodations, and great hosts! I hope to return here on my next Everglades vacation.

We booked this yacht as part of a weekend birthday celebration. Capt Chris was understanding when traffic delayed our arrival time. He met us on site and gave us a tour/tutorial on how everything worked. The vessel is well maintained and had all the added personal touches you could imagine. We had everything we needed and felt very comfortable aboard. We would definitely book again if we are in the area!

As the boat is as described in the advertising, be aware of the close proximity to the Everglades! Like to see aligators swarming around the boat? Have your camera/phone ready! They will come as close as 3 feet looking for something to eat...! In the evening, enjoy the millions of little bugs which will gladly take a bite of you! For those looking for a true encounter with the wildlife, this is as close as it will get! Have fun!

Awesome from the minute we arrived. Everything we wanted for a short weekend stay. Local eats were fantastic. Slept like babies every night. Great views.

First time spending time on a boat like this. Accommodations were tight but nice and cozy. We spent a good amount of time on the boat and it was fun. Watching the sunset on the boat is a plus. Captain Chris gave us a nice welcome when we arrived and also a tour of the boat, explaining how to best use and settle down. The location is great. It's far from the movement of the city and near many natural parks. If you are into fishing, we saw people catching snook and grouper just a few feet away. Gators are in the area too, patrolling the water near the boats. All in all, it was a nice experience.

I’m always looking for a different or unique experience for my family. I did not want a hotel or condo. Boring! Instead I found Tia, Capt. Chris and their amazingly roomy 2 berth cabin boat! With full amenities and a/c we were more than comfortable! Our 2 teenagers had the front of the boat s/ bunk beds and their own bath. My husband and I enjoyed the well appointed bread birth with queen size bed and full bath. Tia & Capt. Chris were very helpful and informative. We even chartered our “boat stay” and they took us out into the 10,000 islands. For our “slip” we saw alligators, dolphins and jellyfish! The location was ideal to trek into the Everglades fir an airboat ride or head 15 mins north to Naples for beautiful beaches & great restaurants. Go to Lima (Peruvian Fare) for a delectable dinner! Overall this was an amazing experience! We will certain refer all family and friends who visit this area!

A must do vacation. The boat is a fun place to start your vacation. It is comfortable and roomy and is located in a quiet area. The Everglades have many interesting places to visit plus Marco Island and Naples are so close for even more adventures. A HUGE plus is having Tia as a hostess and the Captain as a host. They listen and quickly act on any question or concern. GO FOR IT!!!

This was an awesome little boat!!! Everything was clean and quiet and quaint but be forewarned the steps are very high...Captain was nice if maybe a little pushy with numerous text messages about when checking in and out and could be a little more flexible w his charter...I would definitely come back!!!!
