You push off from a low dock, the sound of a 50‑hp four‑stroke settling into a steady hum as mangrove edges and seaworn pilings slide past. The Indian River Lagoon opens ahead—shallow channels that invite low‑speed exploration and salt flats that glitter under a wide Florida sky. Pelican Island sits nearby, a quiet patch of protected shoreline where birds wheel and dolphins skirt the boat’s wake.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You push off from a low dock, the sound of a 50‑hp four‑stroke settling into a steady hum as mangrove edges and seaworn pilings slide past. The Indian River Lagoon opens ahead—shallow channels that invite low‑speed exploration and salt flats that glitter under a wide Florida sky. Pelican Island sits nearby, a quiet patch of protected shoreline where birds wheel and dolphins skirt the boat’s wake.
The region’s story is plain in the landscape: barrier islands and tidal lagoons shaped by longshore drift and periodic storms, and a conservation milestone—Pelican Island, designated the nation’s first wildlife refuge in 1903. Sebastian’s culture revolves around the water: small marinas, family fishing trips, and the seasonal pulse of sport anglers targeting bass in the lagoons or heading out for deep‑sea charters a few miles offshore.
On this rental you’re at the helm of a Sun Tracker 16' pontoon with room for seven, an L‑lounge aft, fishing chair(s) forward, a bimini top, and a Bluetooth stereo. Fuel is included in advertised pricing for standard outings; extra range is possible but plan routes conservatively and watch tide charts. Florida law requires operators born on/after Jan 1, 1988 to carry a boating safety certificate, and drivers must present photo ID at check‑in.
Practical rhythm: launch early for flat water and cooler temperatures, keep speeds low near wildlife, stow trash and bait, and anchor on sand rather than seagrass. Bring sunscreen, plenty of water, and a simple float plan—these small steps make a day on the lagoon both easy and memorable.
