Which boat should you rent?

• Deck boat or pontoon: roomy and easy to drive. The best pick for families and a sandbar day.
• Center console: faster and better in the open Gulf, if your driver has experience.
• Kayak or paddleboard: for the mangroves and quiet bays. See the kayak page.

Most boat rentals need a driver who is 21 or 25 and a boating safety ID if born on or after January 1, 1988. Fuel, deposits and what's included vary, so check the booking page.
