Pontoon Rentals

Has anyone rented a pontoon boat for the day? If so could you share your experiences and who you decided to rent with. Thanks

Two years ago, we rented a Boston Whaler and a pontoon boat from Somerset Watersports. There were 15 of us and we had a blast out on the water. I liked the pontoon better because we were able to move around it. My grandsons rented fishing poles and enjoyed catching some very interesting looking fish. The pontoon boat was easier to reboard after swimming in the many beaches we stopped at during our rental time. There was more shadey area under the canopy, too. I would rent the pontoon boat again even if we did not have such a large number of people in our group.

Ok perfect thanks for all the info! So the pontoon was easy to navigate around the island? I was concerned it might be to big to get to some of the secluded beaches.

Since the pontoon is flat bottomed, all you have to do is beach it. It is bigger than the Whaler, it does not turn as fast but that wasn't a problem for us.

Awesome thanks!

Thanks again for the information we ended up booking the pontoon w/ sommerset and are very excited :)

quick question I noticed on their website that they will pay for your taxi transportation to their location for jet ski's does that also include the boats or just jet ski rentals?

Unfortunatly, that only applies to the jet ski rentals. Our group took the bus to Somerset Bridge village. You can either buy a transportation pass or two tokens a person to get to Somerset Bridge. Just tell the bus driver you want to get off just over Somerset Bridge. There is a sidewalk that you canwalk back over the bridge and then cross the road to downthe smallhill to Somerset Watersports. I hope you really enjoy your rental.

Has anyone rented a pontoon from Fantasea at the Dockyard? If so would love to hear about your experience?
