Kids, Elderly, and Handicap Accessible

Pontoon boats are much sturdier and roomier than bass and flats boats. Pontoons don’t rock as much, have sides making it safer for young kids, and have much more sitting areas for those looking for a relaxing experience. 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 as well. Bass and flats boats are much lower and require more balance from a person boarding. Pontoon charter boats are undoubtedly the best option for young kids, the elderly, and handicapped situations.

Fishing Quality From A Pontoon Boat

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 on pontoon fishing charters is often higher because of the ability to have more rods out at once.
