Central Florida has many lakes and canals that provide outstanding boating experiences, even while in close proximity to downtown Orlando. Lake Toho, and the Butler Chain of Lakes are known for their trophy bass fishing records, and if fishing is not your preference, then a cruise on a pontoon boat maybe more to your liking. Every type of boat is available for rent by the hour or the day. To the north of Orlando, the St. Johns River winds its way to Jacksonville, and a cruise along its tranquil upper reaches is an extraordinary experience. To the east are the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean, where larger boats and yachts are available for charter. “Florida is best seen from the deck of a boat” is an old but true adage.
