BEST OF 2025 Double Decker Tritoon! Crab Island/Destin
The whole experience was very smooth and we felt well taken care of the whole time. I really appreciated the good communication anytime I had questions while planning. Both the host and the captain were great communicators and I will be booking again in the future. Thank you!

28' Avalon Tritoon in Destin, FL
We had an amazing time on this pontoon with 10 girls. We had Jason Crawford as our captain and he was super helpful and accommodating and enjoyed his company as well. The boat is in fantastic, like new, condition. Plenty of room for our group of 10+captain and large cooler on board for all of our beverages and storage cabinets for our stuff. We had some weather implications so ended up changing the date of our trip pretty last minute and their schedule was able to accommodate and Jon was so wonderfully communicative and helped choose the best conditions for our trip. We visiting crab island and really enjoyed the giant inflatable couch there and then we moved to another deeper spot so we could test out the slide. We originally booked 3 hours, but ended up extending to 4 hours and that was perfect. We saw a sea turtle and dolphins on the way to crab island from the marina, and since we ubered it was really nice that we were dropped off closer to our rental and dint have to go all the way back to the marina to disembark. Thank you Jon and Jason! Would definitely recommend them 100%. You will not be disappointed. Everyone agreed it was the highlight of our girls trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fort Walton Beach known for?
Fort Walton Beach is known for the soft, white sandy beaches and for being a quieter vacation destination. It’s less popular than nearby Destin, offering more affordable accommodation options and less of a party crowd atmosphere. It’s great for older couples or families with young children who want a relaxing vacation without hoards of people on the beaches.
Does Fort Walton Beach have clear water?
The water and beaches around the Emerald Coast of Florida’s panhandle (where Fort Walton Beach is) are arguably the best in the entire state. They offer incredible swimming and sunbathing conditions, and you’ll definitely want to bring a mask and snorkel to enjoy the high visibility in the waters here.
Is Fort Walton Beach crowded?
During the Spring Break season, it’s always busy on all beaches of Florida. If you visit during the low season or one of the shoulder seasons, Fort Walton Beach can be very welcoming and not too crowded. If you visit during Spring Break and want to avoid the hoards of people on the sand - rent a boat during your stay in Fort Walton Beach to cruise around away from the crowds.
