About Shelter Cove Marina Boat Rentals
Shelter Cove Marina Boat Rentals provides self-drive pontoon boat and center console rentals from Shelter Cove Harbour, one of Hilton Head Island's most popular marina complexes. Located mid-island with easy access from most resort areas, they put visitors behind the wheel of brand-new luxury pontoon boats for a day of cruising, fishing, dolphin watching, or island hopping at their own pace.
Their fleet includes pontoon boats accommodating up to 12 passengers — ideal for family groups and friend getaways — as well as smaller center console fishing boats for anglers who want to explore the creeks and nearshore waters independently. Rentals include a safety briefing and basic navigation orientation so even first-time boaters can head out confidently. Half-day and full-day rental windows are available throughout the season.
What makes Shelter Cove Marina Boat Rentals a top choice is the combination of a modern fleet, a prime central location, and the freedom to set your own itinerary. Guests can cruise past the Harbour Town Lighthouse, anchor at a sandbar for swimming, explore the creeks around Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, or simply drift and fish. The surrounding Shelter Cove Town Centre offers shopping and dining steps from the dock, making it easy to extend the day ashore after returning the boat.
