Renting a pontoon boat on Shell Island is a wonderful way to enjoy a day at the beach. A pontoonboat can be rented for your family, friends, or group. It is safe, stable and spacious and very easy to operate. With your own private pleasure boat you can cruise along the St. Andrew Bay waters or enjoy the sugar-white sands on Shell Island.

Had a great time relaxing on the catamaran, looking out for dolphins and snorkeling and paddle boarding. The staff was great! We saw quite a few dolphins and sting rays as well. Not many fish to see snorkeling, but it was still fun.
