3 /5 Cassandra Nolan: The boat is in good condition as pictured and John, the host was quick to respond. My reason for 3 stars is due to the lack of disclosure about the motor being governed, only allowing us to move at 10mph max. It wouldn’t have been a major problem that I’d even bother mentioning if we weren’t encouraged to make the trek out to Boca Grande, which unnecessarily took us over an hour. It was a bit demoralizing to have others fly right past us with half the horse power. Aside from that, the boat couldn’t plane even with all of us sitting up front. 6/8 out of us ended up with heat exhaustion on the way back due to the inability to cool down from the lack of breeze while going max speed. I’m Florida born and raised and have spent my entire life on the water but yesterday was by far the worst bout of heat exhaustion I’ve ever experienced. I debated even sharing this information as I believe the governess is placed with good intention to prevent renters from injury but really would have appreciated the information so we could have made a more informed choice about where to travel about with 3 young children.
