We've rented pontoon boats from Boogie Watersports several times over the years and, overall, we've…read morealways enjoyed our days on the water. The check-in process was friendly and efficient. Since we've rented boats here before, we appreciated that the safety briefing was shortened and focused on the essentials rather than making us sit through the entire presentation again. That said, it would have been helpful to clearly remind returning customers about the exact navigation boundaries and where boating is not permitted. Our 25ft pontoon boat was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for a relaxing day around Destin Harbor and Crab Island. However, part of the bimini top was torn and flapped loudly in the wind throughout the day. The Bluetooth radio also didn't work. We've experienced that on previous rentals as well, so perhaps it is intentionally disabled, but if that's the case it would be good to communicate that upfront. The biggest disappointment was the pricing transparency. The advertised rental price looks attractive, but then a 4% "Village Fee" and an additional 2.5% "Operational Cost Fee" are added before sales tax. An operational cost fee feels particularly difficult to justify, as operational costs should already be included in the advertised price. By the time all fees and taxes are added, a rental advertised at $345 ends up costing about $427. That leaves customers feeling misled and takes away from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Overall, we had a great day on the water and the staff was professional and pleasant. Improving the condition of some equipment and being more transparent about the true rental cost would make the experience even better.

They were knowledgable about the area and I felt absolutely comfortable and safe in their hands. We got the photo package, and it was truly a great purchase - good photos and got the memory card so we can print and share them. We were scheduled for a 9am trip, and we got done around 11 - didn't end up getting on the boat until probably 10. Not a bog deal, but don't schedule anything too tightly around your trip...

We rented for a special occasion ! This was our 4th time renting from beach weekend ! It was our…read morefriends sons graduation trip and this was supposed to be best day of the 6 day stay with us on emerald coast . I speak highly of beach weekend because the kids working the docks are always so nice and accommodating . But this time we waited 20 mins with our dolley cart loaded while everyone working inflated floats for customers and walked around ...... we were just about to say something then someone walked up to give my hubs the boat walk through . This time we didn't get a boat with the complimentary huge cooler . It was a smaller boat . Too late to switch but ask for that one if you can because it's nice transferring everything to there big cooler and not have 5/7 yetis on one pontoon . This trip the boat we rented broke down 1/2 way to crab ..... it delayed us over an hour waiting for new boat . We swam around where we were parked and chilled. Totally fine and happy waiting in gorgeous clear water off oakaloosa . When they came to replace it we had to unload current boats bags and coolers for 10 people to new boat . Not bad but kinda added more time to find where everyone's stuff was after we quickly moved . We were kinda annoyed he said we could have an extra 30 mins added to our trip . We told him we were delayed over an hour so he said 1 hour passed our time scheduled to return ...... It's likely we will rent from them again in July because of all the great experiences we've had in the passed . They do military discounts and it's pretty reasonably priced . Plus they drive the boat out and in the marina for you...... I would have been happy if they gave us more then an additional hour that we missed or a discount on the next rental ..... we got there at 10:30am . 30 mins before our check in time . But we legit didn't get to crab till after 1 between waiting to load then the boat beeping and stalling out 1/2 way there .

Our group had fun but definitely were not satisfied with the experience. I'm giving it 2 stars due…read moreto it being easy to book, comparable in prices to other companies doing the same thing, and every employee we encountered was nice & friendly. The reasons it wasn't 5 stars was mainly due to the equipment you get. The boat is your typical double decker pontoon boat with a 115 on it. The problem was that the propeller was so worn out that we weren't able to drive it like we should have. Took almost an hour to get to crab island from their dock. We were getting passed by all sorts of boats with the same & smaller motors like we weren't even moving. To make it worse, they don't have speakers on the boats and suggest you rent their TurtleBox speaker. No problem right? We spent $50 to rent it only for it to die in less than 2 hours. We called back to the receptionist to let them know about our issues. After a little time they said they would refund us 50% of what we paid plus take off the $75 Lilly Pad rental. About 2 hours later I got an email saying that I was refunded a little over $181. So they felt refunding $181 out of our $1362 bill was going to be okay. Wouldn't recommend this company, bring your own boat or use someone else.

We easily fit a group of ten on our pontoon. A few suggestions: pack a lunch, bring beer, bring cash, bring some cameras, bring some dry bags (there are some dry compartments on the pontoons), hold on to your hats or turn your baseball caps backwards, use common sense, have fun!

One helpful tip: bring your own trash bags to make cleanup quick and easy before returning the boat at the end of the day. We'll definitely use this company again!
