We showed up early to grab a drink at the bar before heading out, which was definitely the right move. Our captain, Bailey, was fantastic--super friendly, gave us a quick rundown of everything, and then we were off. We cruised around the area before heading out to Crab Island to catch the sunset and keep an eye out for dolphins. The whole experience was exactly what we needed--relaxing, fun, and just an all-around great vibe. Good drinks, great company, and an incredible sunset. After the sun went down, we cruised back to the dock, already talking about doing it again with another group. 5/5 experience--highly recommend! If you book, call and ask for Bailey. They also offer daytime trips to Crab Island if that's more your speed. Pro tip: Parking is limited, so consider taking an Uber or Lyft.

Sorry to say but not the best experience. I have been coming to Destin for the past 15 to 20 years…read moresince Family owns a condo. I have rented Pontoons from numerous companies but hate to say this one was the worst so far. Let's start with not being able to park on site and having to cross 4 lanes of busy traffic twice. Not the safest practice. Second at the counter there are numerous signs saying dock workers get paid by tips and complimentary tip is 15 to 20%. I never mind tipping when warranted and if really good service I tip over 20%. Every other place I have rented a pontoon at has had staff come to the car and get our stuff and carry to the boat. They also ask if anyone needs help boarding the boat. The boat is clean and actually ready for guests. The individual here just states you're on boat 1 and never assisted or asked anyone anything. The seats in the boat had water pooled on them so had to wiped down prior to anyone sitting down. Luckily, we brought extra towels. We understand you get wet on a boat but for water to be everywhere when just getting on the boat is uncalled for and wasn't professional in any means. It was also comforting to know according to the dock worker that the Pontoon only had 1 battery even though it's supposed to have 2. Since the 2nd one worked other items on the boat it wasn't needed per him but hey here's a bluetooth speaker for you to use if you want music. This also had to be the slowest boat we have ever rented. Having owned my own boats before the Motor was so under powered for the size of the pontoon it was on. To top it all off upon our return the dock worker didn't assist anyone or getting stuff off the boat but did make sure to tells us he accepts Cash, Venmo and other payment options for tips. Really dude? Please promote your tips being warranted by actions. Hate giving a low rating but this experience definitely deserved it.

He radioed the boiled peanut boat to come to the boat and we notified him that the bride was very allergic to peanuts. Not only did he still order them but he ate them on the boat knowing that if she touched anything it would cause anaphylaxis. Knowing he wasn't considering his passengers life was quite a bit of a let down. I personally feel every persons life is important but apparently our captain Chris did not. Super bad experience having to be careful with our every move for something he didn't need just chose to do even though it could kill one of his passengers.

The downside was the seagulls, the crew member who sells soda and chips feeds them chips and they are EVERYWHERE. It was distracting and excessive how many birds swarmed the boat for the first half of the trip. My opinion of the best place to sit is the top floor, starboard side. It will be rocky up there but you can easily shift to the other side of the boats if needed. Also bring a jacket! At least in January. Sadly there are multiple signs that say the crew work for tips insinuating that they are otherwise unpaid. I truly hope that is not the case.
