Welcome to Compass Boat Rentals, your leader in long-term boat rentals in Manatee County! We offer the best location to launch from in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, with easy access to some of the most beautiful waters in the world. While we specialize in 3-day and longer boat rentals, we also accommodate our daily rental customers.
Our renters can dock their deck boat or pontoon rentals along amazing waterfront restaurants for a quick bite or drink. We are surrounded by a variety of islands and incredible sandbars that are perfect for hanging out with family and friends and with the opportunity to take tons of pictures or even just relax and socialize with other boaters. If you’re looking to go dolphin watching, island exploring, fishing, or just go for a cruise, we are also ready to accommodate you with that.
We try and separate ourselves from the “normal” rental companies, we allow fishing on some of our boats, we allow dogs on all of our boats and we also have options to rent coolers and dog life jackets. Need special accommodations? JUST ASK!
