Over 30 years

Gone2Sea Boat Rentals is a family-owned business with over 30 years of boating experience and a deep love for the water and all the fun and beauty that comes with it. We started with the idea of sharing the boating and fishing experiences which we love most with our customers.

Focus On Getting You on The Water

Gone2Sea offers captained and self-guided boat rentals without the requirement of a boat club membership. We take pride in maintaining a clean, high quality fleet of boats. Our friendly staff will do their best to ensure your boat is cleaned, inspected, and ready for you upon your arrival!

Our hands-on approach has given us great feedback, and we enjoy recommending places to explore. For example, many of our guests enjoy pulling up to islands, beaches and waterside restaurants. You can cruise by Castillo de San Marcos and other historic sights while keeping an eye out for native marine life including sea turtles and dolphins!

At Gone2Sea, customer satisfaction always comes first. We do everything possible to ensure you have an awesome experience. We are also highly responsive and are happy to answer any questions you may have before your day out on the water!

About The Owner

Hello! My name is Emily Kopec, owner of Gone2Sea Boat Rentals.

A Massachusetts native, I spent my summers boating in Rhode Island- particularly Narragansett Bay, Newport, and Block Island Sound. I relocated to St. Augustine, Florida with my husband Captain George Kopec and our two sons, where we enjoyed a year round boating season in the warm intercostal waters. This inspired me to open a boat rental business, and Gone2Sea Boat Rentals was established in March 2023. Now I’m excited to be sharing my love of boating with people from all over the world visiting America’s Oldest City.
