PONTOON RENTALS
You must be 21 with a valid drivers license.
Answer:
We carry the 21′ SeaDoo Switch Jet Pontoon. The switch is the only Jet powered pontoon on the market.
A Jet Pontoon is a pontoon style boat powered by jet propulsion. It has the exact same motor style as a jet ski. A jet pump creates thrust by sucking in water from the bottom of the boat and shooting it pushes it out of the back.
The boat rental includes a full tank of fuel, a cooler of ice, bluetooth speaker, and a map of the river. Safety items are standard and listed on the rentals page. A floating swim pad is available as an add-on to your rental.
At this time we do not offer chartered rentals. Stay Tuned! 🙂
The capacity of the pontoon is eight (8) people or 1400 lbs. We suggest no more than 6 adults including the boat operator to ensure a comfortable ride.
No! The State of Alabama does not require a renter to have a boaters license.
Pontoon rentals are limited to Dog River with few exceptions. Navigating east of Dog River Bridge is limited to the beach area just past the bridge. Venturing past marker 15 (Mobile Bay) is strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate termination of your rental. No refund will be given if you violate your rental agreement.
Fishing is only allowed on full day rentals. You are responsible for having a fishing license and following the local rules. No cut bait is allowed. A cleaning fee will be automatically added to your rental. See excessive cleaning fee.
If you return a boat with excess sand/mud, trash, food, etc., we will charge a minimum $50 cleaning fee.
Absolutely no towing is allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, tubes, water-skiers, wake boarders, knee boarders, and other towables.
While we are dog lovers, we no unfortunately we no longer allow pets onboard.

Don’t Lol! If you need to refuel, you can do so at one of the Marinas on Dog River.
