Customer Reviews

We rented a pontoon for a two hour sunset ride. It was a nice boat and fit the 12 of us well. It was easy to navigate and we had a blast. So many dolphin sightings!

This is our 5th time renting a pontoon boat at Shelter Cove. We were checked in smoothly with Cindy, Sawyer gave us a thorough run through of the controls, the provisions and places to go. We spent 3 spectacular hours out on the ocean, and exploring many little inlets with many pods of dolphins swimming along with us! This is one of our favorite things to do when visiting HH!

Had an awesome morning taking out a pontoon with Shelter Cove Marina! The boat was ready early, extremely clean, and the GPS features were very helpful for not being an experienced boater or from the area. We were able to fish and caught a few as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful too!
