Boats For Rent in Delaware near Ocean City, MD

At Island Watersports, you can expect the best selection and the newest boats for rent!  Are we the cheapest rentals in town?  The simple answer is no.  But we do offer the BEST value for your money.  Decade-old rental fleets are prone to problems on the water, worn interiors, and lack all-around comfort.  Paying a little more ensures you are comfortable and worry-free during your day on the water.

Every year, we purchase a fleet of brand-new Berkshire pontoons.  This year once again we've stepped up the quality even more by bringing in a fleet of tri-toons.  These are pontoons with an extra center tube.  This offers more stability, greater capacity, and better handling.  We do not use stripped-down rental models in the fleet.  Our tri-toons are luxurious models with 115HP Mercury® motors, compared to the basic 60-90hp models the competition uses.

On the sport boat side; every year we bring in a brand new Scarab® jet boat, and this year we have TWO brand new ones!  These are the Scarab 195 model which each sporting a wakeboard tower for 2024 and a 300HP Rotax® motor!  This will offer a great combination of speed, excitement, and water sports!

For the fisherman out there, we are proud to carry over the new Wellcraft 202 Fisherman center console.  These boats offer the perfect bay fishing platform for anglers looking to reel in some rockfish, flounder, croaker, or other fish.  With live wells, fish finders, 150HP Mercury® motors, and fishing packages available, the only thing you'll need to drink is some sunscreen!


 
  • Pontoon/Tri-toon Boats

    Island Watersports offers the largest selection of rental pontoon boats on the Delmarva Peninsula, including brand-new Berkshire models. All of our boats are top quality to ensure you are comfortable while on the water. With a pontoon rental, you get a relaxing vessel with room for groups of up to 12 people (depending on weight). These boats are great to swim off of, fish & crab, as well as just riding to that nice secluded beach to get away from the summer commotion! Our pontoon boats also have Maryland fishing licenses. We are the only business in the area to have weekly pontoon boat rentals for those with waterfront homes. Returning this season, we have added brand new 2024 Berkshire tri-toons to the fleet.  These types of pontoons offer a smooth ride and larger capacity, as each tri-toon is equipped with a Mercury 115 motor.  Book in advance to reserve our new premium 2024 boats!

  • Scarab® Jet Boats - Watersports Equipped

    Island Watersports is the only Maryland/Delaware business to offer Scarab jet boats for rent. Our jet boats are perfect for watersports, as well as offering the thrill of speed and great handling. These types of boats do NOT have a propeller, like many other speed boats. This means that our boats are the SAFEST for those renters with kids. The boats have plenty of power to pull your friends and family on one of our tow tubes, wakeboards, wake surfboards, water skis, or kneeboards. Boats range in size to meet the needs of every customer and allow for seating for up to 8 people or 1,325 pounds! Jet boats are capable of running up to 45 mph.  For watersports, we suggest no more than 5 people on the jet boats, which will leave extra power for tow sports.
