  • Well this was the day! Rented a pontoon boat from Island Watersports Company on Okaloosa Island, Florida. What a blast we had. I had a boat for many years about 30 years ago and forgot how much fun they are. Although the motto goes, "the best 2 days of boat ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it," we still had a blast. I guess that's because we had no issues and took it back at the end of the day. No breakdowns, no troubles, no cleaning afterwards. Crab Island is so beautiful, we enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait to do it again. We say different types of crabs, beautiful birds and million dollar boats. Thanks for watching and we will see you soon!

    Man I’m sorry I know it’s rude to ask stuff like this but could you tell me how much it costs to rent a pontoon boat there?
    If you don’t want to answer I understand! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun bro 😎

    • @gingerleegirl6697
      @gingerleegirl6697 3 года назад +1

      I just looked on there websites and it says the 50 HP is $375.00 to $575 for a 4,6 or 8 hour rental. The 90 HP is $450 to $650 for 4,6 or 8 hour rentals and lots of extras probably like renting life jackets and insurance and taxes, probably something extra for this and that.

    • @jodigfromfwtx4888

      It's slightly higher during the upcoming holiday week. $500 for 4 hours, $700 for 8 hours @ Boogie's.

      @@gingerleegirl6697 Well that’s pretty high. I actually have my own Tritoon but I’ve never pulled it that far. I think for that cost it would be worth it to just pull my boat. Lol
      Thank you for that great info

      @FTRV  3 года назад +3

      Sorry, Dawn does all that and I kept forgetting to ask. She said we paid $250 for 4 hours. That seemed like a good amount of time but that may be because that water was cold. Maybe it's higher now, we went in April.

      Absolutely beautiful, but it was cold. Haha. It's Mcguires. I have their shirt on right now. It was so good we ended up eating there 4 times. You'll find some of our dollar bills hanging there. They told us it's estimated at about $2 million. We did a video there showing the cashola! Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/DUgfWP5jMe0/видео.html
