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 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!!

Great experience

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

Rented a pontoon for 4 hours and everything was perfect from the ease of reserving it, arriving and checking in process was super easy, and letting everyone sign the waved ahead of time via our phones make it streamlined! Will definitely rent from them again in the future!

Boat Ride

This is our first time using this service and I have to say, I was pretty impress. The whole staff members are friendly and the pontoon we rented was clean and in good working condition.

Friendly Staff

We had a great time last Sunday ! The staffs were very knowledgeable and helpful. We had little mishap ( the boat stopped and we can’t turn it back on) , we call them and they gave instructions on how to fixed it and when we couldn’t  they said help is on the way .   That’s how helpful and responsive they are .  We will definitely come back !

Poontoon

We have been coming to Destin for 11 years and this was the first year we decided to rent a pontoon and spend the day at Crap Island. The kids loved every minute of it. And to top it off as soon as we pulled back up to the dock a huge sea turtle came up right beside the boat.

Great time. Worth every penny

<h2>How did you discover this activity?</h2>
<p>We found a great deal on TripShock. It was too easy!</p>
<h2>When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?</h2>
<p>We booked the day before because we never plan anything. We just go! But, it was still a great deal.</p>
<h2>Why did you choose this activity?</h2>
<p>We love the water. We love boats. We have a pontoon boat, but wanted to save on gas for the seven hour trip, so why not rent, right?</p>
<h2>How did you get to the activity location?</h2>
<p>It was just six minutes from our condo.</p>
<h2>What was your experience with the activity’s staff?</h2>
<p>They were very cordial and expedient.</p>
<h2>Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?</h2>
<p>Oh man, I can’t even. It was our service dog’s first trip, and she LOVED it. It was amazing, and I got a video of my son driving the boat bumping Katy Perry. He’s never going to live that one down!</p>
<p>We went in a group of four. It was the perfect group: myself, my husband, our best friend, and son. Thursday was mostly sunny, the water was clear, and ice cream was available to the ends of the earth. There were lots of jellies floating by, but in their state, harmless.</p>
<h2>Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?</h2>
<p>Definitely, everyone loves being on the water!</p>
