BluWave Boat Rental, LLC is an owner-operated family boat rental business on Anna Maria Island / Cortez, at 8607B Cortez Rd W, Coquina North Boat Ramp, Bradenton, FL 34210. We rent boats. We do not offer captained charters or tours, and we have no captains on staff.

Who we rent to: experienced boaters only. Renters must be at least 35 years old, with 2 legitimate years of experience relevant to the area and conditions they will operate in, and meet Florida boater safety requirements. If that describes you, this is your boat.

See dolphins and manatees, visit sandbars, fish, swim, and snorkel from your own boat, and stop at waterfront restaurants around Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, and Sarasota — all on your own timeline, with your own family or group.

How long you can keep it: boats run 9 AM to 5 PM, and you can keep a boat overnight or for multiple days at your dock or slip. Ask about our overnight and multi-day dock packages.
