Captain your own pontoon across Choctawhatchee Bay, with room for 12, fuel included, and the freedom to visit Crab Island at your pace.

About this tour

Take the helm and set out across Choctawhatchee Bay on a Destin pontoon rental designed for your own kind of day on the water. With room for up to 12 passengers and fuel included, your group can explore at its own pace rather than follow a set itinerary. Head for world-famous Crab Island or try your luck fishing in one of the bayous. Free parking is available for up to two vehicles per reservation, making it easy to meet at the harbor and get underway. This self-guided Destin pontoon rental gives you the freedom to shape the outing around your group. Please note that steps lead down to the pontoon. Drivers born in or after 1988 need a boater's license. At check-in, choose between $75 non-refundable damage protection, which covers up to $1,000 in potential damage, or a refundable $500 security deposit if the boat returns undamaged. Gather your crew, choose your route, and enjoy a day exploring the bay from your own pontoon.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Destin
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
