Frequently Asked Questions About Boat Rentals
Do I need a boating license to rent a boat in Murrells Inlet?
No boating license is required in South Carolina for boat rentals. However, the designated captain must be at least 21 years old and will receive a full safety briefing before departure. We’ll show you how to operate the boat, review navigation basics, and ensure you’re comfortable before you leave the dock.
Can I bring my dog on the boat rental?
Yes! We’re pet-friendly and welcome dogs on all boat rentals for an additional fee. Please bring water for your pet and keep them leashed if you go ashore, as required by South Carolina state law.
What’s the difference between a half-day and full-day rental?
A half-day rental is 4 hours, perfect for a quick cruise or lunch on the water. A full-day rental is 8 hours, giving you plenty of time to explore multiple destinations, anchor at The Point, and enjoy a full day on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Can I go fishing from the rental boat?
Yes, fishing is allowed from our pontoon boats. You’ll need to purchase a South Carolina saltwater fishing license for anyone fishing (ages 16+) through the SCDNR website. Fishing rod rentals may be available—check with our team when booking.

Is fuel included in the rental price?
Your boat will have a full tank of fuel when you depart. You’re responsible for refueling before you return, or we can refuel the boat and charge you for the fuel used during your rental.
