Myrtle Beach’s shallow, open waterways are an invitation to pilot your own day on the water. The Hurricane deck-boat rental puts a 90-horsepower, 4-stroke Suzuki engine and a short checklist of comforts — Bluetooth stereo, hydraulic steering and a sun canopy — at your command so you can fish, cruise or simply soak up the sun at your own pace.

What the day feels like

What the trip feels like

You set the course for a half‑ or full‑day on the waters off Myrtle Beach: a short launch, a stretch of open cruising, and then whatever the group chooses — fishing, drifting and anchoring or slow coastal sightseeing. The operator ensures you know how to handle the craft and its onboard systems before you go, leaving the day to be whatever pace you prefer.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who it doesn’t.

1
Groups of friendsIdeal for small groups up to nine who want to pilot their own outing; capacity supports social days afloat.
2
Families with older adultsSuitable provided the rental age rules are met — at least one 26‑year‑old adult must be on board at all times and the renter must be 26+ with ID.
3
AnglersA practical choice for casual fishing trips on a self‑driven boat, though anglers must secure any required fishing license before departure.
4
First‑time boatersAppropriate for newcomers because operators provide instruction on how to operate the boat prior to launch, but the age and ID rental requirements still apply.

Practical planner

Details to review before reserving

What to bring

If you plan to fish, bring a valid fishing license (kids 12 & under are exempt). Pack sun protection, swimwear and any fishing gear, bait or tackle you need — operators recommend obtaining license and gear the day before to avoid delays.

Onboard equipment

Boats come with Bluetooth stereos, hydraulic steering, a canopy for shade, a map of the local area, anchors and life jackets; vessels meet U.S. Coast Guard safety requirements.

Preparation tips

Operators will walk you through boat operation and safety before departure; securing necessary fishing permits and gear in advance is recommended so you’re ready when your reservation begins.
