There's an old saying that goes something like "The two happiest days in a boat owner's life is the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it." So, obviously renting boats is the way to go. Here in Central Florida, spending a day on a boat you don't own is way cheaper than you think. Whether it's splitting the cost with your friends for a day on a pontoon boat, fishing all morning on a rented canoe or kayak, or taking in a swampy cruise on an airboat, we live in one of the best places to get out on the water for cheap.
Just remember that rates always vary, and be sure to call and check on weather and availability before heading out.
