St. Andrews Adventures offers an exciting half-day pontoon rental experience at St. Andrews State Park in Panama City, Florida. Guests can cruise the pristine waters of St. Andrews Bay and head directly to Shell Island, making it the closest and most convenient boat rental for exploring this beautiful area. The adventure allows you to set your own pace and itinerary, whether that means swimming, fishing, snorkeling, relaxing on the beach, or simply cruising the waterfront while watching for dolphins. Two pontoon models are available: an 18-foot boat with a maximum capacity of 8 passengers and a 25-foot boat accommodating up to 12 passengers, both equipped for a safe and enjoyable day on the water.
All rentals are all-inclusive, featuring well-maintained pontoon boats with US Coast Guard-required safety equipment, a full tank of fuel, and a detailed map of the area. Guests also receive operator training and insider tips on the best spots to visit. Renters must be at least 25 years old and operators at least 21, with Florida/NASBLA-approved Boater’s Safety cards required for operators born after January 1, 1988. Boats must remain within defined boundaries, return on time to avoid late fees, and comply with restrictions such as no pets, alcohol, fireworks, or towable tubes. This self-guided pontoon experience is perfect for families, friends, or groups looking to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea at their own pace.

Customer Reviews
We had an amazing experience with Erne Boat Hire. From the moment we arrived, the team was welcoming and knowledgeable. The boat was in great condition, comfortable and easy to handle, even for those of us without much boating experience. They gave us a clear briefing on operating the boat and some great tips on where to go/sites to see. We went to Devenish Island to visit the Monastic site. The scenery was absolutely stunning with calm waters and beautiful islands. Booking was easy, prices were very reasonable, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Highly recommend this company if you're looking to explore the natural beauty of Lower Lough Erne from the water. We'll definitely be back!
Great experience with my 3 dogs!! I was able to drive the boat all by myself 😃 I loved it!! My dogs not much as it has a loud motor noise. We had fun at the Devenish island though!
Highly recommended. It was a brilliant experience and for a good price. Great day out on the water for the family. We travelled out to Devenish island and explored the waterways.
