Gonna take a little vacation with the family, never taken on a boat in the Ocean so I was looking into renting a boat for the day.
Most rentals seem to be deck boats, pontoons, and a few C.C.s . They let you go out on Pontoon in the Ocean?
Just wanna cruise around for a day.. any feedback on this?
I`d want a C.C.

Try Naples Bay Resort. Their equipment is fairly new I believe. Ask about being able to go out in the Gulf. Lots of water to cruise in even if they say no. Run the ICW down to Keewaydin Island / Beach near Marco Island where everyone hangs out.
Enjoy.

I wish I was there now

dan ,,,also look into sarasota..you could make disney world for the kid in a bout a hour and a half..also siesta key has the most beautiful beach on the weat side,,the sand is like cooking flower..their is also a few places to rent boats and you can go through out all of sarasota bay over to anna marie island and longboat key..yes you can take a pontoon in the ocean on the gulf side depending on the winds but most days their really are not that many big waves to crash over the front of the boat..

Naples Bay was great, but no ocean. Nice boats and nice people though. We went up to Marco for the day.

I`m fine pretty much getting out on the water anywhere at this point

Pontoons are no Gulf for sure, smaller run abouts and CC's can go in the Gulf. My buddy Jason owns Extreme boat rentals at Bayfront. Tell him Robert Gillingham told you to call.
