30 Minutes Down South

We were so honored to be invited to be a guest on the 30 Minutes Down South podcast. If you really want to get to know us and how our company works, give it a listen! Thank you to Carlos and Allison for inviting us, it was a pleasure chatting with you both!

How we got started:

We are Ryan and Shannon and we are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to fulfill all your pontoon rental needs here on Lake Murray. Some of you might remember us as the previous owners of the vacation rental, The Buttonbush Cottage. It was while we served as hosts that we were frequently asked by our guests about pontoon rentals. This sparked an idea for us to get involved in our own pontoon rental business. We love our lake and have always been interested in working with the lake.

A Little About US:

We have lived in Chapin since 2016. We were fortunate enough to find land and build a home on Lake Murray in 2021. We spend a lot of time on our boat all summer long. We have an eight year old, Emmersyn, who would swim in the lake morning, noon, and night if she could. Her elementary school’s mascot is the Purple Martins, which inspired the name of our business. We are currently raising another lake baby, Lindyn, who is three years old. She is the stereotypical second child and we are all afraid of her. We had her out on the lake as early as four months old. When we’re not on the lake we enjoy taking cruises, working on house projects, and rooting for our Gamecocks! We have a German Shorthaired Pointer named Jolene who also LOVES to swim in the lake.

We can’t wait to meet you and share our love for Lake Murray with you. We encourage you to follow us on instagram and facebook to keep updated in all the fun things we have going on! @purplemartinpontoons
