Murrells Inlet, SC
Drunken Jack's Island sits out in the middle of the inlet, with the jetties running out beyond it toward open water.

A tritoon is the same open deck on three tubes instead of two. That third tube underneath buys you lift, a firmer turn and the ability to carry more power, and you feel all three the moment the water stops being glassy.
Run north up the Waccamaw and the water goes dark and quiet under cypress, a very long way in feel from the beach an hour behind you.
The extra tube keeps the bow up and stops the deck slapping when you cross a wake. On a busy summer weekend, when every passing boat leaves a wall behind it, that is the difference between a pleasant ride home and a wet one.
Tritoons are usually rigged with larger motors, which is what makes tubing and similar tow sports realistic. Confirm with the operator that towing is permitted on that particular boat before you turn up with a tube.
You give up none of the space or the shade that makes a pontoon good for a group. It is the same day out, just with more capability underneath it.
When it is the wrong boat
If you are three people drifting a creek at idle speed, you are paying for capability you will not use. A standard pontoon is cheaper and does that job perfectly well.
Where the boat actually is
Georgetown faces its own harbour and the Front Street walk runs along the water, so arriving by boat is a normal way to see the town.

The swing bridge at Socastee anchors the southern end of a day out of here, and the Waterway stays wide and easy in both directions.
We route your request to operators working the water nearest to you, so you do not have to guess which of these is closest or which has a tritoon free on your dates. Send the dates once and let them answer.
Boat club membership
Then dues usually beat paying a day rate every time you go. Answer eleven questions about how you actually use a boat and a rep comes back with the clubs near Georgetown worth your time, not all of them.
Under ten times a year? Renting is almost certainly cheaper, and we will tell you so.

Capacity is a legal limit printed on each individual boat, not a general figure, so we will not guess it for you. Give us your head count first and the operator sizes the boat to it. Going over the rated capacity is both unsafe and an insurance problem.
Usually not. Operators generally hold rental tritoons to protected inside water and keep them out of the inlets and the open Atlantic. That limit comes from the operator and their insurer. Confirm it in writing before you plan a day around going outside.
Fuel almost never is, and cleaning fees, damage deposits and the insurance deductible are usually separate too. Ask for all four in writing before you pay anything. That one question prevents most of the complaints we hear.
