Hi, my name’s Andy and I would like to introduce you to my 24' pontoon, Jimboat. Jimboat was professionally refurbished by (and named in honor of) my friend Jim, a retired Navy special ops veteran.
Jimboat is made for entertaining, with plenty of comfortable seating. He’s powered by a 90hp commercial-grade Mercury outboard. He’s not a speed machine but he can move when he needs to.
I rent this boat out because I love being on the water and want to share the experience with other people. Hence, my goal is to make this as easy and fun as possible for you. I want to built relationships and am happy to give discounts to repeat customers.
FAQ:
Can I bring food and/or drinks? Yes! Alcohol is fine (in moderation, and so long as whoever is driving is sober) and there is a BBQ grill on board. No burgers or other greasy foods on the BBQ, please! Also, you will need to bring your own small bottle of propane, which can be found at Ace Hardware.
Do I need a captain's license? No, just a standard state boating license - it takes a few hours and about $50 for the online class. I can give you a full orientation after that, if needed.
What happens if the weather doesn't look great? I will work with Boatsetter to reschedule or get you a full refund. This goes both ways if either of us are not comfortable with conditions.
What about gas? I pay for gas and you will never get a bill for it. It just makes everything easier for everyone.
Where should I take the boat? Unless you really know the Potomac, I highly recommend Georgetown/Three Sisters area. The river south of the airport can be tricky to navigate and pontoons don’t handle larger waves very well.
Where do we pickup/drop off? The public dock at Gravelly Point in Arlington is the standard pickup/drop off point. Other locations are occasionally possible by special arrangement. "
