What to Expect – Boat Rental Options & Price Guide

Here are some of the typical rental types and what you might budget for:

• A standard sport boat (20′) for up to ~8 people: starting at around US $360 for a few hours. 

• Larger boat (27′) for up to ~12 people: from about US $450+, depending on time & extras.

• Pontoon boats or customizable trips (4‑6 hours) with captain: 4‑hour rental about US $490, 6‑hour US $635 in one example.

• Luxury yacht charters (e.g., 40′ Sea Ray Sundancer) with full amenities for special occasions. 

Prices vary significantly depending on boat size, length of trip, whether a captain is included, fuel, and extras. Always ask what’s included (coolers, water, ice, floats) and what is not.

How to Pick the Right Boat for You

• Group size & purpose: Are you going just for a family outing or a party with friends? Smaller boats are cheaper but less space.

• With or without a captain: If you’re comfortable driving and licensed (check local laws), you might save. If not, a captain makes it stress‑free.

• Trip type: Do you want a quick ride, sandbar stop, sunset cruise, or full day adventure? Different time slots cost differently.

• Extras & location: Check pick‑up location, whether fuel is included, any stop fees, what floats or water toys provided, etc.

• Budget: Set your max spend and compare what each company offers.

• Safety & licensing: Ensure life jackets, safety gear are included; local boating laws apply.

• Advance booking: Especially in busy times, book early for best selection.
