Planning a trip to Anna Maria Island and wondering how to get around? Renting a golf cart is hands-down the most popular — and most fun — way to explore AMI. Before you book, here’s everything you need to know about Golf Cart Rentals Anna Maria.
Why Golf Carts Are the #1 Way to Get Around Anna Maria Island
Anna Maria Island is a small, relaxed barrier island on Florida’s Gulf Coast — and it’s meant to be enjoyed slowly. The island is only about 7 miles long, making a golf cart the perfect-sized vehicle. No parking hassles, no traffic stress. Just salt air, sunshine, and freedom.
Unlike driving a full-size car, a golf cart lets you pull up right to the beach, stop at Pine Avenue shops, and cruise to your favorite restaurant without circling a parking lot.
What Size Golf Cart Do You Need?
At Crabby Joe’s Adventures and Rentals, we offer three cart sizes to fit your group:
- 4-passenger Golf Cart Rentals — Perfect for couples or a small family of 4.
- 6-passenger Golf Cart Rentals — Great for families or a group of friends.
- 8-passenger Golf Cart Rentals — Ideal for large groups or multi-family vacations.
All carts are street-legal and ready to cruise every corner of the island.
