Who Should Rent A Boat In Fort Lauderdale, Fl

Searching Availability...

Pontoons are ideal for groups up to twelve who don’t want to split up but still want the full personalized tour. It is also undoubtedly the best option for young kids, the elderly, and handicapped situations.

Groups

Renting a pontoon in Fort Lauderdale is the perfect adventure for large families or a group of friends looking to enjoy an outdoor activity or fishing in the bass capital of the world without having to split up. Previous visitors have rented the pontoon for special events such as family reunions, corporate outings, and a bachelorette party.

Bass boats and other flats boats can only fit up to 3 or 4 people, a pontoon fishing charter can fit up to 6 passengers, but your rental can fit up to twelve passengers!

Young Kids

Pontoons are much sturdier and roomier than bass and flats boats. Pontoons don’t rock as much and have sides making it safer for young kids.

Elderly

Pontoons are roomy, with plenty of sitting areas under the bimini top for those looking for a relaxing experience out of the sun. We love when the grandparents come and enjoy watching their grandkid’s faces light up after they catch a bass or see a gator a few feet from the boat. It’s also a much sturdier experience than the bass and flats boats and more intimate than public headboat and airboat trips. Bass and flats boats are much lower and require more balance from a person boarding as well.

Handicap Accessible

Because of the excess floor space and set up of a pontoon boat, accommodating those in a wheelchair or any handicap is no problem. Pontoons are higher up and more level with the dock, making boarding much easier for our renters.

Motion Sickness

For those who get easily nauseated by rocking water, a pontoon boat will likely be an excellent experience for you compared to a low rocky bass boat.

 Dog Lovers

Our pontoon rental boat is available with the goal in mind for everyone to have an exciting, amazing day. This even goes for your four-legged friend. Well-behaved dogs are more than welcome on board.

Fishing Quality From A Pontoon Boat in Fort Lauderdale Fl

While pontoon fishing in Fort Lauderdale, you will have the same high probability of success as if you were in a bass or flats boat. In fact, the number of fish caught by people who rent a pontoon is often higher because of the ability to have more rods out at once.
