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.

And of course, seeing Shell Island is only part of the tour! As we cross out to the island. Keep a sharp eye out for dolphins, because we often see wild schools of dolphins in the area. You could also make a Shell Island rest stop part of a charter fishing trip.

We had a wonderful time on the catamaran looking out for dolphins, snorkeling and paddle-boarding. Staff was excellent! We also saw a lot of stingrays and dolphins. Although there weren't many fish to snorkel, it was still quite fun.
