"We rented a nice bay fishing boat from Little Bay Marine and couldn't have been happier. Pricing was below what we expected to pay. The service was way better than we could've ever imagined. The equipment was well maintained. They even gave us excellent fishing tips and locations. We will return.---Doug, Mitzi & Shane, Austin Texas

Donna & Ronnie are the SWEETEST people ever!!! They are very accommodating. We rented the pontoon boat, and took some friends from out of town on it! We seen dolphins, fish and bunches of jelly fish. Definitely recommend renting a boat from them, they made everything really easy.

I had a great rental with Ronnie and Donna, they were so helpful. The boat was 22’ Mowdy, it was clean and in great condition, perfect for my needs of fishing and just cruising with the family. Ronnie explained charts of the bay and recommended a few prime fishing spots. My family and I had an excellent day on the bay creating some lifetime memories. I’ll be back and definitely recommend them for a great and enjoyable experience!

My family and I had an absolutely amazing experience with the little bay marine boat retails! Ronni and Mrs Donna were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the entire trip enjoyable and stress-free. The boat was clean,  well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect day on the water. The scenery was beautiful, and we even got to see some dolphins up close! I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a fantastic boating adventure. Five stars all the way! If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you! Lopez Family

Our local family doesn't get out on the water much, so we were referred to Ronnie and Donna Melton to get us safely adventuring out in the local waters.  We couldn't be happier with their customer service (You know they are both retired  teachers!) and their attention to detail to get us situated and pointed in the right direction.  Excellent instructions and courtesies!  We look forward to renting their handsome equipment again in the near future and coordinating rendezvous at other area launches!

We rented 2 boats for out big family. Very reasonable pricing.  We had a BLAST and it was SO WORTH IT!  My husbands favorite part of vacation.  We will definitely do it again next year!! Boats were very well maintained and accommodating.  Super easy check in and out.  We were blown away by the hospitality helpfulness and kindness of the owners.

Little Bay Marine was beyond exceptional!!! I spent the day on the water on one of their rented boat's. It was a spectacular experience. The boat was nice and clean. It was mine and my husband’s first time renting a boat and the process was quick and easy the rates were more than reasonable. I would refer Little Bat Marine to anyone. I will actually be using them again Memorial Day weekend memorable.

With Hurrican Beryl approaching- the public boat ramps were closed.  Sunday morning- the owners of Little Bay came out and opened their private ramp up for people trying to flee the storm. When asked how much I owed them for their time the owner simply replied- a donation is fine- whatever you give me, I'll give the church. The world is short on good people-but this guy is great!  My next trip to Rockport I will rent a boat from his gentleman for sure.

This is a must-do in Rockport!  Our family had a fantastic time on the water!  Ronnie and Donna’s friendly hospitality was very special.  Ronnie provided us with excellent directions on where to sightsee and fish.  All 5 of us caught fish, including a 28-lb black drum that took teamwork to land on light tackle.  We’ll definitely be back for more fun!

"Ron and Donna were fantastic, very accommodating and gave great direction to us beginners (despite me unknowingly calling Ron, Rob constantly lol).  Water was a little rough when we went out but we had fun puttering around the canals and fishing in some local areas.  My son got his first catfish!  Super fun and easy going, would do it again."

"Ronnie and Donna are two of the nicest people my wife and I have ever met. We signed up for a full day charter and the morning of our charter the winds were very high. Rather than canceling over the phone we went to the dock and met Ronnie. We told them that we needed to cancel because our group would not have a very pleasurable trip as we had my wifes  parents and several children going with us. Ronnie said he understood and it was no problem to get a full refund. He introduced us to Donna to get the charges reversed and she was as sweet as could be. They apologized for the rough weather. The boats were extremely well maintained and very clean. These are people you want to do business with. We will definitely rent with Little Bay next time we are in Rockport. Just a great couple."

They really went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed to make our trip awesome. Ronnie was also very knowledgeable of the waters and even mapped out some his favorite fishing spots on a map for us. We really enjoyed our trip and can't wait to do it again."

"Rented a center console for a guys' fishing trip Sep '23. Ronnie and his wife were awesome to work with and the boat was ready and waiting for us when we got there. Easy loading and access to the bay. 22-6 mowdy worked great for the 4 of us and it had recent repower Suzuki 4-stroke that ran great. Owners are very conscientious about their business and making sure people have a good experience. I would highly recommend using Little Bay if you're looking for a boat to rent. Ronnie even helped fillet out a couple trout when we got back so we didn't have to mess with it carrying the fish to the cleaning table. Super nice people would use them again for sure!"

"We had the absolute best day renting the deck boat from Little Bay Marine! From the very first moment we met Donna and Ronnie, they felt like family we have known for years. They were so attentive to our two boys, and the boat is pristine and so much fun on the water. If you're wanting to fish, cruise, lounge or sight see - or better yet, all of the above, the deck boat is a great option, especially for families or for little ones who might be a little timid on a boat. It was my son's birthday, and when we returned with the boat, Donna was waiting and singing him happy birthday. They were also so genuinely kind and excited when my son told them about his 50 pound black drum catch on his last cast. He especially will remember our day on the water forever. Don't hesitate to rent here, you'll have the best time!"

"Ronnie and Donna are very accommodating and friendly, which is just the start. Their boats are in great shape, the one we rented was a 23' Mowdy with a Suzuki 140. The deck surface / awlgrip is in good shape, we had no issues slipping around. The boats have a ton of storage and room for ice chests / rods. Ran great down to Big Cut. We stayed in Key Allegro so it was a short short ride to pick up and drop off. We will be back, and we couldn't recommend Little Bay Marine more!"
