Why a tritoon works here
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.
Drunken Jack's Island sits out in the middle of the inlet, with the jetties running out beyond it toward open water.
Better in chop
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.
Enough power to tow
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.
Same deck, same comfort
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
Where you launch near Murrells Inlet

Tritoon rental questions
The village side of the creek carries the MarshWalk, and the water access here is real. This is also the nearest working inlet for anybody staying in Myrtle Beach or Surfside.
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.
