Please get the proper boat for your guests as too many are hiring the wrong boat to save a few dollars or expect it to be something it is not.

When renting a Pontoon Boat a few things you need to know!

First figure out how many guests you plan on inviting, this will determine how big of a boat you need. Is your group 1, 10, 15, 20 passengers or more? Book the boat you want as far in advance as you can, especially if on a holiday. Decide on a budget, plan for food, drinks, ice, music, etc. For transportation, if hiring a bus or meeting at the boat, give accurate directions, parking information and have designated drivers if needed.

Pontoon boats come in many sizes and are rated for a specific number of people with so much weight. Some rental companies rent you the boat with you as driver and some provide their own driver. Some rental companies furnish gas at no additional charge and some don't. Most recreational pontoon boats have round pontoons and are not recommended for large groups or commercial use. Commercial grade pontoon boats will have a high weight capacity plate, this will give your group a smoother and safer ride. Most recreational pontoon boats are rated for 12 or less people with 1800 lbs MAX. USCG-regulated average weight is now 185 lbs. per person. Example: if a boat is rated for 19 persons or 2800 lbs., you would all have to average under 148 lbs. and that does NOT includes ice chest, food, gear, etc. or if there are 12 people at an average of 200 lbs. or 2400 lbs., now add the ice chest (s), food, gear and the driver, so how much does everyone and everything weigh? That 19-person boat just turned into a 12 or less-passenger boat. Now compare a pontoon boat with a weight capacity plate of at least 4000 lbs. or more! Experienced boat drivers know their weight capacity as wind and waves play a large role in the safety, ride and handling of the boat. Remember If the boat is maxed out or overloaded with more people OR MORE WEIGHT than recommended, this is dangerously unsafe, uncomfortable and makes for a bad experience.

For weight of your food and drinks, think about this:

16 oz. = 1 lb. or 1 case of 12 oz. cans = almost 20 lbs., 4 cases of drinks with ice and food weigh about 100 lbs. There are also different engine sizes, different horsepower. Remember that loaded weight and engine size/hp has everything to do with boat speed.
