Cruising the ICW on a Pontoon Rental | Boating Journey
In episode 204 we take a pontoon up the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) from Deerfield Beach, FL to Delray Beach, FL. The boat was offered to us by Overnight Boat Rentals and we didn't know we were getting a pontoon. We were pleasantly surprised on how well the Godfrey Tri Pontoon operated, even in rough waters.
As always, thank you for following our journey.

Embarking on a Journey with Overnight Boat Rentals
Welcome back to Boating Journey! Today, Scott and the team have a thrilling day planned with Overnight Boat Rentals. Brandon, from the rental service, invited them for a pontoon adventure, showcasing the ins and outs of boating. Let’s dive into the exciting details of this water escapade.
Introduction to Overnight Boat Rentals
Founded in 2007, Overnight Boat Rentals offers a unique service – delivering boats to your doorstep. Whether you own a waterfront property or stay in a vacation rental, they’ve got you covered. With a fleet of 18 boats (and counting), they cater to all budgets and sizes, providing options from Tri Tunes pontoons to center consoles and deck boats. Worried about boating experience? No problem! Overnight Boat Rentals even offers captains for a carefree experience.
Exploring the 26-foot Godfrey Tritoon
The team sets out on a 26-foot Godfrey Tritoon, fully loaded for a fantastic day on the water. Captain Scott gives a rundown of the boat’s features – from the powerful 150 V-Max Sho engine to the double Bimini providing ample shade. The boat boasts upgraded seats, a fusion stereo system, RGB lights, and even underwater lights. As they head out, the excitement is palpable.
Scenic Tour along the ICW
Navigating through the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) from Deerfield Beach, FL to Delray Beach, FL, the team enjoys the picturesque views. They encounter a low bridge, adding a bit of suspense to the journey. Passing by a sandbar with sun-seeking boaters, they head towards Boca Raton Marina. The 26-foot Tritoon effortlessly cruises through the waters, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Features of the Pontoon Boat
The tour continues with a detailed look at the pontoon boat’s amenities. From a spacious captain’s chair to Bluetooth stereo and essential supplies, the boat is equipped for a perfect day on the water. The team emphasizes the convenience of renting over ownership, highlighting the affordability and flexibility it offers.
Adventures and Challenges
As the team encounters a low bridge, they share a moment of mayhem with other boaters. Waiting for the bridge to open becomes a shared experience with fellow boating enthusiasts. A glimpse of a speeding boat in a no-wake zone adds a touch of excitement and a reminder of the unpredictability of the open water.
Conclusion and Future Plans
Wrapping up the day, the team expresses gratitude to Overnight Boat Rentals and Brandon for a memorable experience. The flexibility of boat rentals emerges as a compelling option, eliminating worries about storage, insurance, and maintenance. As they plan future adventures, the team invites viewers to subscribe for more exciting boating journeys.
