sarahc78 Posted July 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Has anyone rented a pontoon boat for the day? If so could you share your experiences and who you decided to rent with. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted July 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Two years ago, we rented a Boston Whaler and a pontoon boat from Somerset Watersports. There were 15 of us and we had a blast out on the water. I liked the pontoon better because we were able to move around it. My grandsons rented fishing poles and enjoyed catching some very interesting looking fish. The pontoon boat was easier to reboard after swimming in the many beaches we stopped at during our rental time. There was more shadey area under the canopy, too. I would rent the pontoon boat again even if we did not have such a large number of people in our group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc78 Posted July 4, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Ok perfect thanks for all the info! So the pontoon was easy to navigate around the island? I was concerned it might be to big to get to some of the secluded beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted July 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Since the pontoon is flat bottomed, all you have to do is beach it. It is bigger than the Whaler, it does not turn as fast but that wasn't a problem for us. Edited July 4, 2015 by flowers44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahc78 Posted July 6, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted July 6, 2015 quick question I noticed on their website that they will pay for your taxi transportation to their location for jet ski's does that also include the boats or just jet ski rentals?

flowers44 Posted July 6, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2015 quick question I noticed on their website that they will pay for your taxi transportation to their location for jet ski's does that also include the boats or just jet ski rentals? Unfortunatly, that only applies to the jet ski rentals. Our group took the bus to Somerset Bridge village. You can either buy a transportation pass or two tokens a person to get to Somerset Bridge. Just tell the bus driver you want to get off just over Somerset Bridge. There is a sidewalk that you canwalk back over the bridge and then cross the road to downthe smallhill to Somerset Watersports. I hope you really enjoy your rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
