Adventure Tips
Check Wind Conditions Before Renting
Pontoon rentals pause when wind speeds exceed 19 mph to ensure safe navigation in the Santa Rosa Sound.
Bring a Boater’s Safety License
Renters born after 1987 must carry a boater’s safety license; it’s required by Florida law to operate these vessels.
Plan for Fuel Consumption
Fuel is charged separately based on usage, so longer excursions will require budget planning.
Protect Your Electronics from Water
Bring waterproof cases or bags—anything you take onboard may get wet during your day on the water.
