JVX 18 BluWave Boat Rental
As of August 1, 2017 BluWave Boat Rental, LLC has added 3 more boats to the fleet. By a merging acquisition with Making Waves Boat Rentals, also from Palmetto, FL we will have 3 Carolina Skiff fishing boats added to the fleet. Dan and Maryann Cullinan have decided to move back to NC and BluWave will take over their boats and customers effective immediately.
We add a 17’ JVX18CC (named Turtle) – 7 passenger flats-type fishing boat with full bimini and 70HP Yamaha 4-stroke motor, complete with all safety equipment, fully set up for fishing, anchors, lines, and fenders. Also, all 3 of these boats have a 5” Lowrance GPS/fish/depth onboard.

In addition, we add the 178DLV (named Manatee) 18’ with a 90HP 2-stroke E-Tech. It has 2 livewells, full bimini, and all the other equipment too. The 178DLV has a 9 person capacity and can be a good boat for leisure in the inter-coastal waters or be a great fishing boat for the day or week.
Lastly we add the 198DLV (named Dolphin) 19’ with a 90HP E-Tech 2-stroke, also full bimini, 2 livewells, and all the other goodies too. This boat has a capacity of 10 persons and can be a nice boat for cruising in the inter-coastal as well as fishing up a storm.
