Route 37 Watersports
Explore the waters of Toms River aboard a 16-foot Carolina Skiff with Route 37 Watersports. Perfect for small groups craving fishing or crabbing fun, this boat trip blends adventure with scenic views.
Route 37 Watersports is a watersports rental operator based in Toms River, New Jersey, offering a range of watercraft for recreation along the Jersey Shore.
The fleet includes a 16-foot Carolina Skiff with a Bimini top for shade (up to four passengers), Yamaha Waverunners that seat up to three people, and Bentley pontoons—a 2021 90 hp model and a 2018 70 hp convertible—that each accommodate up to eight passengers. Pontoon rentals are available in half-day and full-day options and include Bluetooth stereos; pontoon operation does not require a boat license. Waverunner rentals are offered in half- or full-hour increments with safety orientation and life jackets provided. The Carolina Skiff is set up for fishing and crabbing—renters are asked to bring their own gear, identification, towels, and sunscreen.
Route 37 Watersports provides clear rental requirements, stated passenger limits, and model-year information to help customers choose appropriate craft for family outings, group trips, fishing excursions, or high-speed recreation. Safety equipment and brief operational instruction are part of the rental process, and staff communicates local regulations and docking procedures as needed. The 2021 Bentley pontoon's 90 hp motor offers higher power for larger groups, while the 2018 70 hp convertible provides a budget-friendly option without a Bimini top. Operating from Toms River, the company serves local residents and visitors to the Jersey Shore seeking flexible, accessible water-based activities. Reservations and walk-up rentals are available subject to availability and local rules; the business's listing on The Adventure Collective provides booking details and contact information.
