About Gulf Boat Rentals
We are a locally owned and family-run business that takes pride in the appearance of our boats. All of our boats have been hand selected to make sure that they are of the highest quality and performance. From choosing the boats that offer the most interior space, to buying boats that only come with Yamaha Four Stroke engines for the best performance and the most reliability. The boats will not have any rips or tears in the seating, and you will see the actual boat that you are renting on our website.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can we have onboard?
The amount of passengers varies depending on which boat you rent and the number of coolers and equipment you bring with you. We recommend up to 8 people on the Mia, 10 on the Emma & 12 on the Ashley. This includes enough room for a few coolers & small personal bags/items.
Are kids and pets allowed?
Yes, kids are welcome under the supervision of a parent/guardian! Sorry, pets are not allowed on the boat.
Do I need a boating license to drive the boat myself?
If you were born after January 1st, 1988 you will need a temporary license that you can get here. If you were born before, you will just need a driver's license.

Nope! All our boats come equipped with enough Coast Guard-approved adult & child life jackets. When booking, please inform us of how many child lifejackets you will need.
Do the boats have speakers?
