Out On The Bay

The Trips Behind These Reviews

These came from groups who booked the 2026 TriToon out of the City of Gulfport Municipal Marina and spent a day on Boca Ciega Bay. Some ran south to Shell Key, some island hopped north toward John's Pass, and a few just anchored at a sandbar and stayed put.

If you want the specifics on capacity, safety rules and how a day runs, the boat rental FAQ covers it, and both pontoon rental options are laid out on the rentals page.

What Guests Said

We had an amazing experience with Tampa Bay Pontoon Boat Rental! We rented a pontoon for 4 hours, and everything from start to finish was seamless. The boat was clean, well maintained, and easy to operate, making for a stress free day on the water.

The team was incredibly friendly, professional, and made sure we felt comfortable before heading out. We spent the afternoon cruising, enjoying the beautiful views, and relaxing with family and friends. It was the perfect way to experience Tampa Bay.

If you're looking for a fun, easy, and memorable day on the water, I highly recommend Tampa Bay Pontoon Boat Rental. We'll definitely be back for another trip!

If you're looking for the best pontoon boat rental in the Tampa Bay area, I highly recommend Tampa Bay Pontoon Rentals. The entire experience from booking to checkout was smooth, professional, and stress free. The boats are extremely clean, well maintained, and perfect for cruising around St. Pete, Shell Key, Johns Pass, and the beautiful Gulf Coast waters.

The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave a great safety briefing before departure. You can tell they truly care about customer service and making sure everyone has an amazing day on the water. The pontoon boat had plenty of space, ran perfectly, and was ideal for our family and friends.

This is hands down one of the top-rated boat rental companies in Tampa Bay for anyone looking for a fun day boating, island hopping, dolphin watching, sandbar trips, or sunset cruises. Whether you're visiting St. Petersburg, Gulfport, Madeira Beach, or Treasure Island, this is the company to book with.

Professional, reliable, and worth every penny. We will definitely be using Tampa Bay Pontoon Rentals again for future boat days in Florida.

We had an awesome experience renting a pontoon in St. Pete! The boat was clean, well-maintained, and ready to go when we arrived. The staff was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything before we headed out. We spent the day exploring the sandbars, spotting dolphins, and enjoying the beautiful water. The whole process was easy from start to finish. If you're looking for a fun day on the water, I highly recommend this company. We'll definitely be back!

We had an amazing experience with Tampa Bay Pontoon Rentals! My wife and I rented a pontoon and took it out to Shell Key on a beautiful sunny day. The ride there was short, making it super easy and convenient to reach such a gorgeous spot. The boat was in excellent condition - clean, comfortable, and handled great.

Everything about the experience was amazing and we felt like we had gotten a great deal for the price we paid. I'd highly recommend them if you're looking for a fun day on the water in the Bay area. We're already looking forward to going again soon!

We had an incredible experience with Tampa Bay Pontoon Rentals! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The booking process was easy, communication was excellent, and the entire team was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful.

The pontoon boat we rented was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and honestly looked brand new. It felt much more luxurious than we expected, which made the day even better.

My family and I spent the day island hopping around Tampa Bay, and it turned into one of our favorite family memories. If you're looking for a hassle-free rental with top-notch customer service and an outstanding boat, I can't recommend Tampa Bay Pontoon Rentals enough. We'll definitely be renting from them again!

Sold my boat about 4 years ago due to lack of use so turned to renting as a more cost efficient way to enjoy the waters. In the recent years my family has rented 20+times. I can say out of all the boat rental companies I've dealt with, this one by far was the smoothest experience. Very nice maintained and clean equipment. Very fair pricing. Jon was wonderful to deal with. Definitely recommend to any and all!

David and John do an outstanding job. From the moment you arrive, they make the entire experience fun, easy, and stress-free. They're professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about making sure everyone has a great day on the water.

What really stood out to me is that they don't make you feel like just another customer. They treat people like friends, which creates a relaxed atmosphere while still maintaining a safe and professional operation. They're attentive, accommodating, and always focused on making sure everyone enjoys themselves and gets back safely.

If you're looking for a great day on the water in the Tampa Bay area, I highly recommend Tampa Bay Pontoon Rentals.
