What Our Guests Say

2,800+ five-star reviews.

"We booked the pontoon for our family reunion and it was the highlight of the entire trip. The boat was spotless, the crew was incredible and the route they recommended had a hidden cove we could not believe was real."
The Mallory Family
Sun Deck Pontoon · August 2024
"I had never been on a sailboat in my life. The captain was patient, knowledgeable and turned what I expected to be a nerve-wracking experience into the most peaceful afternoon I've had in years. Already booked again."
James Whitfield
Classic Sloop Charter · May 2024
"Perfect honeymoon activity. We kayaked through the mangroves at sunrise and saw three manatees. Harborlight's staff packed a surprise picnic hamper in the kayak — we had no idea. Thoughtful doesn't begin to cover it."

Our Story

Born on the water.
Built for you.

Harborlight started in 2014 with a single pontoon boat and a very simple belief: that the ocean should be accessible to everyone, not just those with the right experience or connections.

Today we are Key West's most loved rental company — 20+ vessels, a team of 14 and over 10,000 days on the water. But the belief hasn't changed.

"The ocean has a way of putting everything back in perspective. We just give people a way to reach it." — Captain Lena Marsh, Founder
