Outing Highlights

THE VESSEL

Roomy, well‑equipped 22’ pontoon

Designed to carry up to 12 passengers in comfort, the Silver Bullet pairs luxury seating and a Bimini shade with a Yamaha 115 hp four‑stroke engine and on‑board electronics including GPS, chart plotter, fish finder and depth sounder.

THE ROUTE

Intracoastal cruising only

The rental is designated for ICW use, making it well suited to sheltered water runs, short hops between anchorages and swim stops while remaining inside marked waterways.

THE PRACTICALS

Flexible half‑ or full‑day rentals

Available in 4‑ and 8‑hour blocks, the Silver Bullet is a turnkey option for groups seeking a single‑day escape with simple creature comforts: stereo, swim ladder and ample shade.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

From a relaxed launch to low‑stress navigating on the Intracoastal, the experience is centered on social cruising — plenty of seating for a group, shaded stretches under the Bimini, short anchor or swim stops using the swim ladder, and the reassurance of modern navigation aids and a reliable Yamaha outboard.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small to mid‑size groupsGroups up to 12 passengers fit comfortably aboard the 22’ pontoon, making it ideal for social outings, family trips and friends who want space and shade.
2
Daytrip renters aged 27+Renters must be at least 27 years old to operate the boat, so solo younger adults and teens cannot legally book as the primary renter.
3
Leisure cruisers who prefer sheltered waterThe ICW‑only restriction makes this an excellent fit for those seeking calm‑water cruising and short swims rather than open‑ocean passages.
4
Groups needing a simple rental windowWith 4‑ and 8‑hour rental blocks available, it works well for half‑day or full‑day plans that don’t require overnight capability.
