Boat Rental Extras in Fort Lauderdale: What's Included on Every Charter

Any day out on the water in Fort Lauderdale is a good day. But when you're spending your hard-earned money on a pontoon boat rental, you want that day to be a great one. "We include boating essential and premium water toys to make your charter fun both in and out of the water!" says Launderdale Adventures Owner, Jeremy beller. Here's exactly what's included, and why each piece matters for your day (or night) on the water.

Floating Party Pad

Every Lauderdale Adventures charter comes with a floating party pad — essentially an extension of your boat that turns any stretch of calm water into your own private beach. Toss it out at a sandbar or a quiet cove and you've suddenly got room to stretch out, sunbathe, cannonball off the edge, or just dangle your feet in the water with a drink in hand. It's one of the most-requested extras on our bachelorette and family charters alike, because it turns a "boat ride" into an aqua destination.

Two Paddle Boards, Included

We include two paddle boards on every trip at no extra charge. If you've never tried stand-up paddle boarding, it's a great low-impact workout and more fun (and trickier) than it looks from the dock. Not feeling athletic? No problem — our paddle boards double as a floating bar for the group. Either way, they add another way to enjoy the water beyond just sitting on the boat.

Canopy for Shade

Florida sun doesn't take breaks, and neither should your group. Every boat includes a canopy top, so you can duck out of direct sun whenever you need to without cutting your trip short. It's a small detail, but it's the kind of thing that keeps a 4, 6, or 8-hour charter comfortable from start to finish.

Coolers, Ice & Water

We stock every boat with coolers, ice, and water so you can bring your own food and drinks without worrying about logistics. No scrambling for ice on the way to the marina — just load up and go.

A Licensed Captain — Your Guide, DJ & Photographer

Perhaps the most important "extra" isn't a piece of gear at all: it's your choice of licensed Captain, included with every charter. Beyond safely navigating Fort Lauderdale's 165+ miles of waterways, our Captains double as local tour guides, playlist curators, and unofficial photographers for the day. This is what lets you sit back and actually enjoy your trip instead of managing it.

Summary: Boat Rental Extras in Fort Lauderdale

None of this is filler. Each item is designed to solve a real problem that comes up on a typical boat rental — where to relax off the boat, how to stay active on the water, how to stay cool, how to keep drinks cold, and how to navigate without stress. Put them together, and you get a charter that's genuinely turnkey: bring your crew, and we handle the rest. Learn more here.
