We can deliver the boat to the launch of your choice within 100 miles of Dunnellon, FL. In some instances, we also allow our clients to trailer the boat to their choice of water body. It's winter time in FL, but there's still plenty to do aboard our Sweet Florida Rentals' 'Sweet Revenge'!

Manatee Self-Guided Tours

Admire the habitat and sightings of Florida's West Coast mammals which call the Coastal Springs home during the winter. Certain times of day prove to be very likely that you will see up to 10 in one 4 hour trip. At least 1 Mom with her calf has been spotted in Kings Bay this year. The springs provide a warm habitat, and the vast green beds of seagrass along the west coastline provide literally tons of nutrient-rich food for those majestic vegetarians.

Fresh and Saltwater Fishing

The uniqueness of our area gives our clients the opportunity to land both fresh and saltwater species of fish in one single trip! Spotted Sea Trout, Shallow Water Grouper, Reds, Bass, River Trout... Those are just a few within the range of reach for our 'Sweet Revenge'!

Relaxing

Well, here's the thing about our pontoon. It's got the amenities to make a really great day of one thing, or a really awesome day of a little bit of everything in one single trip!

Brand New Boat, purchased June 2023! It's an 18' 8-person pontoon boat. 3 fishing positions with swivel seats, 2 forward and 1 aft. At least 3 rod-holders per station plus vertical rod stowing (2 per station). 1 live well at the front. The motor is a Suzuki 60hp EFI 4-stroke, so no oil-gas mixing! It's super efficient on fuel!

If you aren't fishing, you can relax under the Bimini Top on the large round sofa or in the captain's seat! It has a removable table that can be placed in front of the sofa seat for meals and snacking! The sofa also has built-in cupholder cupboards protecting your beverages from wind and the sun!

Delivery and pickup - If the launch is within 25 driving miles, we charge a simple $25 delivery fee, which covers the cost of delivery and pickup. Each launch is different on launch fees, so please message us for an exact cost for launch fees and launch location options.

Here are some of our favorite boating spots...

Scallop season is always a popular thing in the Crystal River/Fort Island area, but they also have unpopulated islands, exposed sandbars, and party spots. There are many dockside bars and restaurants within 5 miles of launch, and even restaurants that will deliver Dockside while you enjoy your trip!

There are many sunken vessels in the area that provide a safe bet that you'll come home with your limit of fish, fun, and entertainment! You're just a few miles from 3 Sister's Springs, where you can spectate the Manatees and enjoy the three springs that boil up crystal clear Florida Aquafer water that provides excellent swim visibility, rod or fly fishing, and beautiful shade and atmosphere! The springs are backed against Kings Bay State Park and there are several hotel, Air-BnB, and Kayak rentals on the water! You can enjoy all Crystal River has to offer, plus the excellent and relaxing pontoon rental of 4 hours all the way up to a full week!

Cedar Key is very nice, offering good fishing and a pleasant cruise just miles from a coast of lots of nature and photo opportunities for the nature lovers! It's the Goethe State Forest and you'll see gators, many species of birds, and beautiful marsh and landscape untouched by urban development.
