Highlights

THE BOAT

A stable, well‑powered pontoon for day trips

The 22' Bennington is outfitted with a Mercury 150HP four‑stroke engine and is certified by the Coast Guard for up to 12 people — a straightforward, comfortable platform for fishing, sightseeing or swimming on the intracoastal.

THE MOOD

Family fun or a quiet day fishing

This rental is set up to accommodate both rowdy family afternoons and quieter, cast‑and‑wait fishing trips, offering the flexibility to shape the day aboard an open, social deck.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Half‑day and full‑day options

Rentals are available in half‑day (4‑hour) or full‑day (8‑hour) increments, making it simple to plan a short outing or an extended exploration of the intracoastal.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Boarding a 22' Bennington for a half or full day is deliberately unfussy: slip lines, a quick orientation, then motor into the calm of the intracoastal. The layout lets groups spread out — anglers cast from the stern while others drift and watch shorebirds or anchor for a swim. Time on the water is paced by tides and temper: active for fishing and sightseeing, easygoing for lounging and picnicking.
