Elite Boat Rentals is a local boat rental company in Cape Coral, Florida, based at 857 SE 47th Street near the Caloosahatchee River. Instead of sending you to a crowded marina, we deliver your rental boat to your vacation home dock when the canal and dock fit, hand it over in person, and help you plan the route, whether that is Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, Pine Island Sound, or a relaxed cruise through Cape Coral's canals.
The fleet covers the boat types visitors ask for most: the Godfrey Pontoon for up to 15 guests, sporty boats from Chaparral, Rinker, StingRay, and Cobalt, the Sea Hunt 232 Triton center console, and 300 HP boats such as the Hurricane 2690 and South Wind 27ft for longer island runs. Every boat page shows the daily rate, and the booking calendar shows live availability for your dates.
Rentals are booked by date range, with a seasonal minimum rental period shown in the booking calendar. Florida requires operators born on or after January 1, 1988 to carry a Boating Safety Education ID Card or a temporary certificate, and the lead guest must be at least 25. Every handoff includes a hands-on orientation covering safety gear, GPS, manatee zones, and the canal route to open water.
Daily rates depend on the boat and the season and are listed on every boat page. The booking calendar shows the exact total and the minimum rental period for your dates.

Fantastic experience with Elite Boat Rentals. The entire process was simple and well organized from the first phone call to the moment we left the dock. The team in the office was very helpful and made everything easy. Clay took care of the boat handover and did a great job. He was very friendly, professional, and walked us through everything we needed to know before we left. The Sea Hunt boat was spotless and looked almost new. Everything worked perfectly and the boat ran great. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a stress-free boat rental.

This is a great boat. Plenty of room to safely handle large groups. The 300hp Mercury offers enough power to get up on plane and achieve reasonable speed even with a full load. Electronics are great and the chart plotter makes navigating local waters very easy. The roof expands to significantly increase shade. The bow ladder and rear step make getting out of the water easy. And, consistent with my past experience, the team’s hands on service make the entire rental and delivery process enjoyable. I would definitely rent this boat again if I have 8 or more people.
