Cruise Choctawhatchee Bay or relax at Crab Island aboard a shaded Destin pontoon with fuel, safety gear, and room for up to 12 passengers.

About this tour

Take the helm of a roomy pontoon and discover Destin from the water. This 24-foot boat offers an easy way to cruise Choctawhatchee Bay, pause at Crab Island, or simply unwind beneath the shade of the Bimini top.

Your rental comes with a 4-stroke Yamaha 90 HP engine, an easy-access ladder, an anchor, a waterway map, and Bluetooth and AM/FM radio. Fuel is included for up to one full tank, and professional instruction helps you get oriented before setting out. USCG-certified life vests, including child and infant sizes, and other safety equipment are provided. The boat holds up to 12 passengers or 1,631 pounds combined, whichever comes first; for comfort, no more than 10 adults is recommended.

Free parking is available near the dock, though spaces can be limited on busy days. Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, needs a NASBLA boater's license to operate. Set your own pace and enjoy Destin Pontoon Boat Rental for a relaxed day on the bay.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 63 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 8.1.
