Luxury Pontoon Rental Hilton Head Island: Captain Your Own Boat

Take the helm of your own 22-foot Bentley and steer across Hilton Head's waters.

Rent a luxury pontoon boat on Hilton Head Island and captain it yourself for 2 to 8 hours, accommodating up to 12 passengers total. You get a 22' Bentley with a 115HP motor, fuel included in the price, GPS tracking for safety and route guidance, and a cooler onboard. Choose your own route and duration. The operator walks you through the boat's features and recommends activities and routes suited to your trip length.

The experience

What makes this different from hiring a captain is that you're in control. You get a fully equipped 22' Bentley luxury pontoon with dual captain's chairs, sofa-style seating, and a 115HP 4-stroke motor: fuel is already included, so there's no surprise charge at the end. The boat holds up to 12 passengers, which means you can bring friends, family or a small group and everyone gets a comfortable spot. Bluetooth radio and a cooler come with it, so you can play your own music and keep drinks cold while you're out on the water.

Before you cast off, the operator walks you through all the boat's features and recommends routes and activities that fit the time you've booked. The pontoon has GPS tracking, so if you want route corrections or need a weather alert, the team can reach you. That safety net is there so you can focus on driving and enjoying the ride without worrying about navigation or what's changing in the conditions. You pick the duration (anywhere from 2 hours to a full 8 hours), and you pick where to go: scenic waters, a sandbar, a quiet cove, or wherever the day takes you.

What’s included

• Fuel, Bluetooth radio, cooler, and the 22' Bentley luxury pontoon with 115HP motor and dual captain's chairs.
• GPS tracking for route guidance and weather alerts.
• operator walkthrough of boat features and route recommendations suited to your rental duration.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I really captain the boat myself, or does a guide have to drive?

You captain the boat yourself. The operator gives you a walkthrough of the features and route recommendations, then you take the helm and steer. GPS tracking is onboard so the team can help with directions or weather alerts if you need them.

What's included in the rental price?

Fuel, a Bluetooth radio, a cooler, and the 22' Bentley pontoon itself with all its seating and equipment are included. There are no fuel surcharges or hidden add-ons.

How many people can fit on the boat?

The pontoon accommodates up to 12 passengers total, so you can bring up to 11 friends or family members along with yourself as captain.

What if I'm not sure which duration to pick?

Rentals run from 2 hours up to 8 hours. The operator recommends routes and activities based on how long you've booked, so a shorter rental might focus on nearby waters while a longer one gives you time to explore further out.

Is the boat accessible if someone in my group uses a wheelchair?

Yes. All areas and surfaces on the pontoon are wheelchair accessible, and the boat itself is wheelchair accessible for boarding and moving around.
