Anna Marie Island Boat Rentals, Life is Better on the Water!
Compass Boat Rentals: Voted Best of the Best 2025
Voted one of the Best Boat Rental Companies on Anna Maria Island (Silver and Bronze) by Bradenton’s Best of the Best community voted awards!
Located on Anna Maria Island, we offer Boat Rental delivery to Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach, and the surrounding areas to access the stunning Gulf Coast waters that rank among the most beautiful in the world. While our focus is on 3-day and extended boat rentals, we also cater to customers seeking Daily Boat Rentals and Captained Boat Tours.
What sets us apart from other Anna Maria Island Boat Rental and Tour companies is our commitment to providing unique offerings and local Island hospitality. We allow fishing on select boats and welcome dogs on all of our vessels. Additionally, we offer optional extras for our Boat Rentals such as coolers, and dog life jackets. If you have any special requests or require specific accommodations, simply let us know! Our specialization lies in long-term rentals that extend up to two weeks or longer, and we boast the newest fleet of deck boats, pontoons/tritoons, and center console fishing boats in the market. Book a Pontoon Boat or Deck Boat Rental with Compass Boat Rentals to discover the exceptional experience we provide! Choose a Captained Boat Tour and explore AMI with the knowledge of locals who can take you to the most beautiful places that we love to explore.
We know the tides, the canals, the marinas, and the boat ramps like the back of our hand. We understand how the water moves, where to go on different days, and how to make every outing both safe and unforgettable. Beyond the water, we also have deep knowledge of the island itself — from waterfront restaurants and shopping areas to the best spots to relax, explore, and enjoy the true Anna Maria Island lifestyle.
We treat every rental and every tour as if it were our own family day on the water. Our goal isn’t just to rent boats — it’s to help create incredible experiences, lasting memories, and stress-free days exploring one of the most beautiful boating destinations in Florida.
This is why we do what we do — to share our home, our waters, and our passion with you.
