24ft Crest Double Decker Pontoon with Slide
This was our first time doing something like this. We have plenty of boating experience but wasn’t sure what it would be like to rent. It was worth every penny. The kids (and adults) loved the slide. We will be doing this again next time we come!

Sam was super. He was ready for us when we arrived and departed. He was helpful and his boat was a blast. Everything worked great on it and couldn’t have asked for a better time! We took it out to Crab Island and it did great!

24ft Crest Double Decker Pontoon with Slide
This was a great experience! Thank you for such a great time and great boat! We have rented pontoon boats the last 3 times we have come to Florida (Clearwater area) and this was by far the best experience and nicest boat and simplest process yet. Thank you!

Party in Crab Island!!! For all occasions (Paddleboard, Lily Pad & More)
We had a fantastic time on our boat trip! The boat was in excellent condition—clean, comfortable, and exactly as listed. Our captain, Roy, was friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the day. When a sudden storm rolled in, Roy handled it with great skill, getting us back to the dock safely and calmly. Carlos, the owner, was also waiting for us at the dock, clearly concerned for our safety and ready to assist—his attention was truly appreciated. Highly recommended—definitely a 5-star experience!

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.
