Destin Pontoon Boat Rentals Are the Best Way To Get To CRAB ISLAND!
There is no better way to explore our beautiful Destin waters than to rent a pontoon boat for a day! Here at Dockside Watersports, a pontoon boat is the most popular for many reasons. The adventures are never ending when you are your own skipper – your family can park on a beach and snorkel, anchor at Crab Island to swim and relax all day, cruise around the bay while Dolphin watching, take it out during our one-of-a-kind sunset or cap your Thursday night off by being right underneath the T-6 Destin Warbirds airshow followed by Fireworks (call for more information)! We serve Destin, Fort Walton Beach, 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Miramar Beach, Grayton Beach, & Navarre Beach, Florida.
Pontoon Boat Rentals for Every Group Size
When people say they want to rent boats in Destin, they usually mean pontoons. Smart choice. Pontoons are stable, roomy, and hard to mess up. Plus, you can literally step off onto the sandbar at Crab Island without doing some crazy jump.
Our pontoon boat rentals range from cozy 10-passenger boats (perfect for families with young kids) to massive double-deckers that fit 12 people. The double-deckers have slides, which sounds silly until you’re 35 years old going down a boat slide in the Gulf of Mexico realizing this is the most fun you’ve had in years.
We keep our pontoons simple but functional. No fancy electronics that break. Just reliable engines, good sound systems, and enough shade so you don’t look like a lobster by noon.
Real Talk About Pontoon Sizes
The 10-passenger boats are great for 6-8 people who actually want to move around comfortably. The 12-passenger pontoon works well for 8-10 adults or a bunch of kids who don’t care about personal space. The 12-passenger double-decker is for groups who want to spread out and aren’t all trying to sit in the same spot.
Choose based on comfort, not maximum capacity. Trust me on this one.
Party Boat Rentals When You Want to Celebrate
Sometimes you need more than a regular boat. Bachelorette parties, birthdays, company events – we get it. Our party boat rentals include the double-decker pontoons with premium sound systems and extra cooler space.
The party boats work great for groups who want to anchor at Crab Island and make friends with other boaters. The upper deck gives you a perfect view of everything, and the slide becomes the neighborhood entertainment.
Fair warning: party boats get attention. You’ll probably end up with random people swimming over to hang out. Most folks are cool, but just know you might become the unofficial Crab Island social committee for the day.
Daily Boat Rentals with Flexible Timing
Our daily boat rentals run from 8 AM to 6 PM during peak season, but we’re pretty flexible.
The daily rate includes gas, safety equipment, and our pre-departure briefing. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay.
During summer, book at least a week ahead. During fall and spring, you can usually get something within a few days. Winter bookings are hit or miss depending on weather, but the rates are better and the crowds are gone.
