Pontoon Boat Rentals
Are you wondering what boat to choose? Pontoons are a very popular choice and for a good reason.
Pontoons can come in anywhere between 16’ and 35’. They are great for hosting larger crowds. Worried about the kids? Pontoon boats are more kid-friendly than other boat options. The boat is gated in, and the areas that are dangerous are typically sectioned off. Plus, pontoons are much larger than a standard boat. The kids have room to move around, eat snacks or color.
If you have never boated before, pontoons are very user-friendly. They can turn a corner and do not move too fast. Also, due to their size and weight, you don’t have to worry about tipping them over. Many boats are small and do not provide storage: no extra room for those coolers, bags of snacks or change of clothes. But pontoons are great for all of your can’t-go-without items.
Why not a fishing boat? While fishing boats can maneuver better in shallower waters, pontoons are a good compromise. They are very stable and comfy, giving you room to relax on your longest fishing days out.
If you have doubts about what kind of boat to rent, then try the pontoon.
Jetski and Waverunner Rental
Jetski, or a boat? Why choose the Jetski?
There is less of a learning curve for a Jetski. Plus, they go very fast and can perform tricks. Probably the most notable difference, however, if their size. They are smaller than boats and more fuel efficient. This can make them cheaper to rent and gives you access to harder to reach areas around the isles where boats just can’t go. Plus, they have brakes, which makes them more familiar for driving than a boat.
