Q: Where is the pontoon boat rental located?

The boat departs from Bahia Mar Yachting Center at 801 Seabreeze Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida—often heralded as the "Venice of America"—is a prime destination for water lovers eager to explore its vast network of canals, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The 24' Big Kahuna pontoon boat offers travelers an exceptional way to soak in the region’s coastal charm, blending relaxation with the joy of discovery on the water.

This spacious pontoon comfortably seats 10 to 12 guests, making it an ideal vessel for family outings, group celebrations, or a leisurely day with friends. Unlike more cramped watercraft, the 24' Big Kahuna creates a light and airy environment with ample deck space for sunbathing, socializing, or simply enjoying the panoramic views of Fort Lauderdale’s skyline and sparkling waters. The single-engine setup provides an easy-to-navigate boating experience that invites even novice captains to take the helm after proper orientation.

Departing from the Bahia Mar Yachting Center at 801 Seabreeze Boulevard, guests can glide through the Intracoastal Waterway, an iconic artery lined with luxury yachts, waterfront estates, and lively marine life. Key highlights include sightings of exotic birds native to South Florida’s coast, occasional manatees in calmer coves, and the chance to cruise past famed Fort Lauderdale beaches and landmarks. The slower cruising pace of the pontoon allows for relaxed sightseeing and ample photo opportunities.

What sets this pontoon experience apart in Fort Lauderdale’s crowded boat rental scene is its balance of comfort, accessibility, and capacity. The vessel accommodates diverse groups while delivering smooth performance on both the intracoastal waters and the calmer offshore bays. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, exploring mangrove-lined creeks, or simply chasing the setting sun, the Big Kahuna invites guests to embrace the unique aquatic playground that defines this Floridian city.

This pontoon rental is ideal for visitors seeking a laid-back day on the water without compromising on style or social vibes. Availability ranges from two to eight-hour rental windows, allowing travelers to tailor their excursion to sunrise cruises, midday escapes, or evening adventures.

Local regulations require renters to be at least 22 years old, maintaining safety and comfort for all onboard. The Bahia Mar Yachting Center’s central location also means easy access to docking amenities, nearby restaurants, and shopping to round out your Fort Lauderdale visit.

If you’re looking to experience Fort Lauderdale beyond the beach, cruising aboard the 24' Big Kahuna is a standout way to engage with the city’s waterways and coastal energy—an outdoor adventure that is as effortless as it is memorable.
