The adventures you can enjoy in Gulf Shores will often be of the water variety, and if this is your first time traveling to our Alabama hometown, it won’t take you long to realize exactly why this is. Offering white sand beaches that frame turquoise waters so clear, you can easily see the beauty of the world beneath the surface, and that wonderful Gulf Shores weather that makes you want to be outside as often as possible, and the best way to explore the sea is aboard a boat. Today, we at Poole & Associates invite you to explore the boating life in our seaside village, spending your days riding the waves and your nights dreaming about your seafaring days in the most comfortable beds in the state.
Life Viewed from the Bow of Your Rental Boat
Your best adventures can be the ones you enjoy at your own speed, and with many of our luxury rentals offering boat slips, the idea of renting a boat for your entire stay is a good one, and there are plenty of local companies that are willing and eager to temporarily exchange their boats for your money. Our sister city of Orange Beach is where most of the rental companies are located, but when you choose Bayside Boat Rentals, they will bring your boat to you to your dock for free when renting for multiple days. Bayside is a pontoon boat rental site offering a choice between luxury and premium pontoons. The luxury pontoons feature 115 HP motors, large bimini tops that help keep your skin sunburn free, Bluetooth stereos, and ladders for easy climbs back in the boat after a dip in the salty waters. The premium pontoons offer most of the same amenities, they just may be smaller and have smaller motors, additionally, fishing is permitted from the premium pontoons, adding to your gulf adventures.
Seafaring Adventures
Now that your pontoon boat has been delivered to the boat slip outside your Poole & Associates luxury rentals, the world has become your oyster. Even if you do nothing more than skim the waters at sunset, marveling over the fire in the sky, you are guaranteed to have a fabulous time, but there is so much more you can do on a boat. Pack your fishing gear and spend your days catching your limit inshore, bringing home your catch of the day every night to grill for the family and devour your tasty treasures poolside. During your travels, we can almost promise that you will catch sight of frolicking dolphins, friendly sea turtles, and all varieties of colorful fish swimming in the waters. Add an inner tube and tow rope to the back of your vessel, delighting your children as they skim across the water on a beautiful summer’s day.
Dock and Dine at OSO at Bear Point Harbor in Orange Beach
Arriving at your favorite restaurant via boat can be a fun experience, and there are many beachfront restaurants in the area that allow guests to dock their boats while enjoying a wonderful meal and OSO at Bear Point Harbor in Orange Beach is one of our favorite places to do so. Feast on shrimp tacos or juicy burgers on their patio at sunset, watching all the boats bobbing in the water and savoring the delicious meal in front of you. OSO offers a Bear Cub menu for your littles and is open for breakfast and brunch on weekends, starting on Fridays, making a morning voyage sound like an excellent idea.
Not Sure of Your Boating Skills?
There really isn’t much to driving a boat, if you can drive a car, you can drive a boat, but if you are still unsure and aren’t in favor of renting a boat, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on boating adventures. Many local tour companies offer a variety of boat tours, taking guests out on exciting adventures they will never forget and we recommend Southern Rose Dolphin Cruises for an unforgettable boating in Gulf Shores experience. Located in Orange Beach and offering dolphin cruises, sunset cruises, and even parasailing adventures, your seafaring adventures are destined to be unforgettable ones. They also rent a variety of boats by the half day or full day, so this could be a wonderful option for waterskiing or fishing trips as well.

Our Poole & Associates vacation sanctuaries are anchored to the land but when you rent our beachfront or water view escapes you will be as close to the water as possible without actually being on the water. Offering comfort, luxury, and the most sensational views in the state, our properties will be an integral part of your vacation experience. Reserve your favorite today!
