We have two options; you can rent a pontoon boat or a Bayliner. They are the same price at $380 for a half day, 9am-1pm, or 2pm-6pm. Full day rental is $550 for 9am-5pm. These prices include tax and fuel! No hidden fees here.

We do not change boat rental prices seasonally, but we do occasionally offer discount specials from guests who follow our social media. So go give us a like!

The minimum age to drive a boat in Florida is 14, and Florida state law regulates the minimum age at 18 to rent a boat. However, our insurance requires the operator of our boat to be at least 21 years old.

Safe boaters’ tests is not something we offer, but we can help you get the right test for what you need. First, it’s good to point out there are two types of tests in Florida.

 Lifetime License: takes a long time to take, between 5 and 8 hours. The benefit of this test is its lifetime and is reciprocal to other states, and it’s free to take.

Temporary License: very fast, only good for one year, and it costs $14. This test is great for someone visiting Florida that may not need a boater’s license any other time soon

We do! We use a company called Bouy. If this is something you’d like to have, it can be purchased when going over the orientation for the boat. Here’s a link to Buoy Insurance for more information.

Do note: starting July 1^st 2023 Florida state law requires the renter to have their own insurance or a boaters safety license. We can help you get either option.

We do! Pets are allowed on our boat rentals. It’s recommended dogs have a life jacket; they are under the same category as children when it comes to boaters’ safety requirements. We do have dog life jackets to lend if you need one. To be honest, we aren’t sure about other animals needing life jackets, kind of assume it’s a dog you’ll be bringing, maybe we’ll be surprised at your water adventure pet.

Lots of options on the Indian River Lagoon to take your boat rental.

if you head south there are several sandy beach islands to picnic and spend the day. The southern route also leads to the Fort Pierce Inlet and a wonderful hangout spot for locals called The Cove. You’ll also find some nice restaurants with gusts docks: Little Jim’s and Dockside are some great examples.

The Northern route is also worth the trip. You’ll also find several sandy beach islands and a large sand bar area near Sebastian Inlet Park. Crab Stop and Capt. Hiram’s are great places to grab a bite to eat too.

Here’s a link to more details on places to eat while on your boat rental adventure. https://visitindianrivercounty.com/restaurants-you-can-boat-to-in-indian-river/

We do not offer overnight boat rentals currently. Unfortunately, our insurance company is “camp no fun”, and they do not allow it. All boat rentals need to be back at our home marina every day. We can work out a deal for multiday rentals. We are actively looking for a better insurance company.

First and foremost, stay within the channel markers, the Indian River Lagoon, often referred to as The River, can be very shallow, even if it looks deep. Assume anywhere outside the channel is too shallow.

There are a couple of ways to know where to go on your boat rental. The best resource is the dock crew that helps get you underway, they know the River like no one else, and they’ll give you the locals insight on where to go. They’ll ask you what you’d like to do, then give you the perfect plan for your day.

Google Maps works surprisingly well. You’ll be able to see your location and what restaurants might be in your area and accessible by boat. Often you can even see the channelways and shallow sections.

You can cancel at any time for any reason. You’re most likely on vacation or on a needed day off, we want you to have fun and enjoy yourself. We do ask that you give us a heads up if you’re not going to make your reservation time or date. That way we can let others enjoy the day. Please call 772-234-9585 to cancel or reschedule your adventure.

Florida weather can be tricky, ideally, we’ll be able to inform our guests before they head out. Happy to reschedule or refund if the weather is unsafe to operate a boat rental.

 While on your boat rental adventure, be sure to have the ringer turned on the phone number listed on your check out forms. If we see weather forming in your area, we’ll give you a call with instructions on what to do.

 Florida can form out of nowhere, and it rarely just rains. Storms here will have severe winds, tornadoes, lightning, and possibly hail. Best to take Florida weather seriously, it’s not fun getting stuck in a storm here.

We offer three times for our pontoon boat rentals or Bayliner boat rentals. Half Day AM is 9am-1pm, Half Day PM is 2pm-6pm, or, Full Day 9am-5pm.

 We can offer other time slots, only if the standard times are not full. Would need to make that call the day of.

We do! Children under 6 years old must wear a life jacket when the rented boat is underway. We have several different sizes of vest-style life jackets, so they’ll be as comfortable as possible. We also have dog life jackets in different sizes.
