About Us
Meet the team behind Paradise Boat Rentals, a veteran-owned Cape Coral boat rental company renting boats since 2006.
About Us
What Once Was a Dream Is Now Just the Beginning
Welcome to Paradise Boat Rentals in Cape Coral! Rick Barstow and Tenille Meyer, along with our shop dog RZR, are proud to carry on a business that has been renting boats since 2006, as its third ownership team. We're a self-drive boat rental company with our own private marina, and you can see the whole fleet on our boat rentals page.
Powered by Fractional Toys
Before Florida, we ran Fractional Toys in Minnesota's Twin Cities for years. Rentals were our whole business up there, and we brought what we learned south with us, along with our passion for recreation and personal service. That's why our logo says "Powered by Fractional Toys."
What We've Invested In
Since taking over, we've put money into the fleet and the rental location. Well-maintained boats, a friendly welcome at the dock: we want you to feel confident and comfortable from the minute you pull into our marina.
How We Do Things
- A real marina. You pick up at our own dock, with free parking, not a public ramp.
- Licensed captains. Every rental starts with an orientation: the safety gear, the GPS, a paper map with places to stop and where not to go, and the tides.
- Our own fleet. We own and maintain the boats we rent, and we keep backup boats in case one has a problem.
- Delivery when it suits you. For a fee, a captain can bring your boat to your vacation rental by water.
Veteran-Owned, Midwest Values
We're a veteran-owned and operated business, and we run it with a Midwest work ethic: do the job right, be straight with people and treat every guest like a neighbor. Exceptional customer service is at the heart of everything we do. Exploring local waterways, a day with family on the beach, new memories with friends: we're here to help you enjoy your time on the water.
