Amazing experience, the guys working on the dock were fantastic so helpful and friendly. Told us where to go to avoid all the crab island craziness ended up snorkeling off the beach and found the best shells! Seriously recommend this company!

Awesome trip, highlight of our vacation.

Crab Island is the best place to float and enjoy the water! It is well worth renting the pontoon. Tyler and Tony were so polite and helpful! Great experience!❤️

The most fun!

Gilligan's Watersports was fantastic! Great customer service, clean boats.

Excellent!

Great staff, great boat, great experience. Would definitely use them again.

Awesome

My family enjoyed the platoon and the experience of getting out on the water

Boat was super clean and easy to operate.  Instructions were great and we had an awesome time.

Great Experience

We had an amazing time! The crew was helpful getting us off and told us some cool areas to check out! 10/10 will definitely use them again!

Amazing

We rented a boat for 6 hours & we had to cut it short by almost three hours because we had a person get cut by the boat ladder & needed stitches immediately!! We asked for a refund for the three hours we didn’t use & we’re told we needed to contact the 3rd party we used. We did & they told us we needed to contact the place we rented the boat from. All & all it was an awful experience and just glad it was an adult that got hurt and not one of the children.

Awful

We had the best time on your pontoon rental!! The guys were awesome and very knowledgeable. We spent a week in Miramar Beach doing all kinds of fun things, but this was by far the best thing we did.  I’d promised my 3 year old grandson I’d take him to see dolphins and we did that aboard the pontoon. We were all so excited because we never expected that. Thanks!

Pontoon Rental

We are local and have rented from another company before and I was very impressed with the size and overall Condition of this boat. It was very nice and I loved being in the harbor. We didn’t have very far to travel to crab Island. The staff was super helpful and instructions were very clear - will definitely rent from them again. Great deal via trip shock!!

Much better than my previous experiences!!

Hoosier Boat Renter

Boat was great, staff at tge check in was great, but tgat part is a bottleneck. Needed more staff to pull it off efficiently. I was suppose to get an email to fill out waivers before I got there, but never did. That took an extra 15 minutes. Then there was a strange way to accept or decline insurance. Very confusing.

Fun adventure.

I booked a pontoon boat rental through TripShock, which apparently acts as an agency for individual rental operators.
When the rental I had chosen fell through, TripShock proactively found an alternate operator and made all the arrangements to switch my booking.
A woman from TripShock called me to let me know what was going on and answered all my questions, and TripShock followed up with e-mails and text messages. They even told me the best place to park near the marina.
Oh, and the rental from the replacement operator turned out to be less expensive than my original booking, so I got a partial refund, too.
Before I started, I was a little wary of booking through an agency instead of contacting individual rental operators directly. But I am so glad I went to TripShock.com. Their web site is a great place to find a lot of offers, and I can't say enough good things about their customer service.

Good boat, great customer service

The crew was really nice! Boat was perfect.

Chandler tailored our experience for us and it was the highlight of our trip!  My son and I went to crab island and paddle boarded then went to an area nearby and saw a bald eagle, cranes and lounged in the water. We then went on the hunt for dolphins and saw no less than 10 frolicking and jumping out of the water to include a mother and baby dolphin. Chandler was so accommodating and welcoming and made us feel right at home. 
I’ll be going to back to take friends and booking Chandler again then. 
Amazing experience all around!

Majestic experience

We had so much fun! The Captain was very nice & knowledgeable of the area and made the charter very fun for me and the kids!

Highly recommend!

Chandler was an excellent guide. We enjoyed seeing dolphin, turtle, shark, and paddle boarding at Crab island.

After finally getting through check-in (a few redundant and silly procedures really slow things down), we got our large group to the pier where the guys did an excellent,  and fun,  job of preparing us to take off. The boat was great (12 passenger double decker with dual slides) and easy to maneuver.  The only issue was the weather was cool,  so we ended up with a pretty short slide and swim session,  opting instead for more water exploring.  But still,  very enjoyable!

Great boat and crew

Good time

Had a great day on the boat! Was clean and ready to go…and helpful with loading and unloading!
