Pontoon Boat Rentals in Gulfport, Florida
Rent a 2026 TriToon. Drive it yourself, or hire an experienced local captain and enjoy the ride.
Two Ways To Book
Rent The Boat, Then Decide Who Drives
Your rental is a 2026 TriToon, kept in the water at the City of Gulfport Municipal Marina. It stays in its slip year round, so a rental day starts with a short walk from the parking area. The bay opens up about a minute after you clear the basin.
From there the choice is who holds the wheel. Take the helm yourself if you are 21 or older and meet Florida's boating safety education requirement, or hire an experienced freelance captain to drive for you. Look over the 2026 TriToon and its deck layout before you pick a date, or see what a day of pontoon rentals in Gulfport looks like.

What Is Aboard
What Comes With The Boat, And What Does Not
Here is everything that comes aboard, so you know exactly what to pack.
Seating For 11
The manufacturer plaque sets the legal limit at 11 passengers or 1,610 pounds, whichever comes first. That count includes the operator and every child aboard.
Bimini Top Shade
The bimini covers the main seating area, which matters more than people expect on a Gulf Coast afternoon. Hats and sunscreen are still worth packing.
Boarding Ladder
A boarding ladder off the stern makes swim stops simple. Most groups use it at an anchored sandbar rather than in open water.
Cooler And Ice
A cooler and ice are available so your own food and drinks stay cold. Pack what your group wants before you reach the dock.
Dockside Orientation
Every rental starts with a walkthrough at the slip: controls, navigation lights, safety gear and the local no wake zones.
Dogs Welcome
Up to two dogs per rental with prior approval, and a $50 non-refundable cleaning fee per rental, not per dog. Tell us when you book so we can approve it.
Good to Know Before You Pack
These are cruising days: sandbars, beaches, the Intracoastal Waterway and the bay.

Pontoon Rental Questions
The questions that come up most often before a first booking.
If someone in your group is 21 or older, comfortable at a helm, and meets Florida's boating safety education rule, the self-drive rental is the simpler booking. If not, a captain is the easier choice.
Groups who plan to drink, groups with no boating experience, and groups near the 11 passenger limit almost always do better with the pontoon rental with a captain.
Eleven passengers, or 1,610 pounds, whichever comes first. That figure comes from the manufacturer's capacity plaque on the boat, so it is a fixed number.
The plaque and the deck layout are covered on the 2026 TriToon pontoon boat.
