About this tour
Set out from Destin and trade traffic for open water on a self-operated pontoon boat rental to Crab Island. Before you leave the dock, staff provide instructions to help you get comfortable at the helm, and an area map points the way.
Cruise the calm bay, watch for dolphins, then anchor at Crab Island to swim, float, and relax in the clear water. With your own boat, you can explore nearby spoil islands, quiet beaches, and Destin Harbor at your own pace. The pontoon comes with retractable shade, adult and child life vests, a Bluetooth stereo, cooler, and fuel; free parking is available at the meeting location.
This Destin pontoon boat rental to Crab Island has a maximum capacity of 10–12 passengers, including children and infants. No captain or guide is provided, so the renter operates the boat and must meet the age and boating-safety requirements. Check in at the Blue Store on the beach behind the Quality Inn in Fort Walton Beach. Gather your group, review the rental requirements, and enjoy a day exploring the bay on your own schedule.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.84 from 326 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 7.5.
