Is it possible to rent a boat for a day? I want to be out on a boat for Boston's 4th of July celebration, but mine is not very well suited for such an activity. I figure maybe I can rent a 30-40 footer.

Has anyone seen something like this, or have experience with it?

Re: Renting a boat

Most boat rentals will go either a half day (3-4 hours) or full day (6-8 hours). Your choice. But those are open boats down around the 20' size. A boat that is 30' plus will typically be a charter, not a simple rental. Rented plenty, but I've never chartered a boat. Call a few charter outfits and see what they say.

hate to say it but you are probably way to late. maybe for 2008. i'm sure there are some dinner boats, cruise boats, they may still have opening. but at this time i doubt it. we are bringing the Chris Craft up from Daytona, for the 4th here in Jacksonville.

Yeah, I figured it would be pretty late. It was one of the 4th ideas being tossed around, so I figured I'd look into it.
