Description

Get together with a group of family and friends to see what Fort Walton pontoon rentals are all about. Sail out to Crab Island where you can anchor up and splash around in the pristine waters. Explore the area by motoring around the islands in the Gulf Islands National Seashore, a wildlife hotspot. See a large array of saltwater fish species, dolphins, turtles, and even manatees! You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to white sandy beaches and we highly recommend snorkeling and fishing!

Family Boat Day

Great experience, great customer service, easy check in and all done on line. Very informative offering different options of places to boat to other than Crab Island. Met us at the dock upon our return and helped us unload and offered a cart to take everything back to our car. Will definitely be back!

Boat needed maintenance

I would have enjoyed the experience better, if the ladder was not broke. I had to spend my whole time on the boat

Fun! Fun! Fun!

Reese was so helpful in booking our boats and rescheduling due to bad weather on our original day. All workers were so helpful and friendly. Very enjoyable. Highly recommend renting from here!

Great experience

We had a great time! Spent the majority of our time at Crab Island, but really enjoyed just cruising around. The Pontoon was so nice and easy to drive and operate.

Perfect for a day on the water

The entire crew was very professional and polite. The boat was almost new and very easy to operate. Parking was a bit dicey with the bridge construction so plan for a few extra minutes to get there. Otherwise, highly recommended
