Bubba Booking is happy to announce our partnership with Endless Summer Watersports in St. Pete Beach, Florida, a premier destination for pontoon boat rentals and kayaks. The company’s fleet of pontoon boats allow you to explore the areas around St. Pete Beach and the Gulf of Mexico at your own pace. If you want to take the fun up a level, they offer a double-decker pontoon boat that features a second floor lounge area, a big hit for kids. Their boats can hold 12 to 14 passengers, making it a great way to get the whole crew involved.
The modern pontoon boat can be traced back to the lakes of Minnesota in the 1950s, where Ambrose Weeres tied a wooden platform to some steel barrels he had laying around in the hopes of getting his whole family out on the water for some relaxation. This was a better option for lounging than most fishing boats of the era, with its large deck and buoyant foundation. Weeres and his family loved their experience so much, they went into business, selling 40 in the first year of operation. Needless to say, the industry took off from there, becoming a staple of lake life and perfect for bays with calm ocean waters. The pontoon boats that Endless Summer Water Sports offers are a major upgrade from those of the 1950s, and include upholstered lounge chairs, stereos, and wet bars for your enjoyment.
Whether you grab a kayak or a pontoon boat, recommended areas to explore include nearby Shell Key, Fort de Soto Park, and Egmont Key. Just south of Pass a Grille, the popular 1,136-acre county park stretches over five islands and are prime snorkeling spots. If you want to go north, Treasure Island and Madeira Beach are two excellent communities to dock and grab something to eat.
