Amazing experience. Communication was great, the boat was reliable and comfy, and we were able to see orcas, seals, and tons of birds! It went by too fast! Thanks, Noah!

Amazing experience! Noah was very helpful in getting us set up with our boat for the day, and advising on a spectacular route to navigate. If you are competent in driving a boat, this is so much cooler than going on a guided tour.

Noah was so responsive and kind. We loved our crab fishing adventure and can't recommend FHBR enough.

Bets place to rent on the island. Noah is great, he gave a great walkthrough complete with safety tips and a suggested route to take while on the water. The 17 foot whaler ran smoothly and i had a great day on the water. Highly recommend

Our group of 5 enjoyed a 4 hour trip on July 27th. The 24 ft boat had plenty of room for all of us and was fast and fun. Plenty of opportunities to get off and explore harbors. Our captain was very knowledgeable about the area. Great way to spend the day! Highly recommend.

I got in touch with Noah to charter a boat to photograph a kayaking group and he was a true pleasure to work with. He was prompt, great at communicating, easy to talk to, and a skilled driver in the busy waters around San Juan Island on a holiday weekend. He made the process of getting up close to kayakers without disrupting their experience in the water easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend these folks and their superb fleet of boats (ideally located in Friday Harbor right at the pier).

Noah was amazing! He was very helpful and there were no surprises. He gave us confidence in navigating the area and set us up for a wonderful day on the water. The boat was perfect for our group and he let us know that he was just a phone call/text away if we had any questions or needed anything. He is a lovely person and I highly recommend renting from him.

Amazing time on a great boat. Great communication and amaizing views. He gave us a few secret island stops you would not know about otherwise. Saw over 30 dolphins, seals, bald eagles, exotic animals even. Thanks again for a great experience.

Noah and Friday Harbor Boat Rentals was awesome! We had a chartered trip around the island. Bob worked with our family to get exactly the trip we were looking for. He was knowledgeable and personable. It was the highlight of our time in Friday Harbor.

Noah was amazing! His fleet is on top top shape. He is knowledgeable about his water crafts. He knows the islands and places to go. He was up on the latest weather and currents showing us where to go for the best possible experience. Thank you Noah!

We had an absolutely amazing time Renting from Friday harbor boat rentals! We were out on the island for a friends wedding and 6 of us wanted to get on the water. Noah was extremely accommodating even though we booked pretty last minute (the day before) we went with the 21 foot aluminum boat for half the day. Noah told us where to go to see whales and to get lunch, walk around a bit and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. We accomplished all of that! I would highly recommend Friday harbor boat rentals!

We didn't have the experience others indicate.We did not get treated well. The owner did nothing to help us get a boat, and he knew he was our only option in Friday Harbor.Most of the boats sat unrented. At $500 each...wow...what a luxury.Although he protested, and likely just wanted me to buy an expensive charter, his website clearly states that I was well-qualified.1-Do I need boating experience to rent a boat? In order to rent a boat from FHBR you must have basic boating experience.2-Do I need boating experience in the Puget Sound? No, you do not have to have boating experience in Puget Sound.In my case, I have been boating my entire life, including 30' houseboats and 15-30' fishing craft in the San Juan's.This guy, Noah, made my daughter upset, my ex-wife upset, and me, with a recently diagnosed health issue, unable to spend some time on the San Juan waters. The guy said..."No"....over and over.No, No, Noah.You would think a guy named Noah would be more interested in helping people get out on the water....especially on a day with pristine flat waters. It was gorgeous. We were so disappointed.I've never left a bad review until this one. Google knows I'm not a troll when it comes to reviews. All others are 4 or 5 stars.If you want a boat on San Juan Island, I recommend a short ride to Roche Harbor where Island Boat Rentals will treat you well.We have also had great boat rentals at Orcas Boat Rentals in Deer Harbor.If you must rent from Noah (and you're a middle-aged dude like me), based on his reviews and all those pretty ladies, I recommend you have your wife or girlfriend make the inquiry.

Noah was very responsive and knowledgeable. He gave great advice about the islands, best places to find seals, and how to chart our course. Renting a boat was a fun way to see the islands and sights we would have never seen from land!

My Wife and I rented a Boston whaler from Noah for the afternoon about 3 weeks ago, and the experience was fantastic. Noah arrived early and took extra time to make suggestions on where to cruise for the afternoon. His route recommendations were fantastic, and exactly what I was looking for since I was hoping he might help me plan our trip. The boat ran and performed flawlessly, and we were very comfortable with all aspects of the boat. Noah was very professional and I highly recommend Friday Harbor Boat Rentals. Already looking forward to my next trip back to the island. Thanks Noah!
