Jake & Ryan gave the best tour of crab island tour. We had a party of 9 and they definitely show us a good time. If your ever in the Destin Fl area I highly recommend them for your tour of crab island.

We had a wonderful time on our half-day cruise with Captain Mike. We were looking for a fun-but-not-crazy time with our group. Mike was a great captain, had fun toys to play with, and helped us enjoy crab island in a way that was appropriate for our young kids

Why These Our Crab Island Pontoon Rentals Stand Out

Spacious and Comfortable

Ample room for the whole party, ensuring a comfortable day out for everyone.

Easy to Navigate

User-friendly controls make it a breeze for captains of all experience levels.

Ideal for Any Occasion

From fishing expeditions to lazy days soaking up the sun, pontoons are versatile and ready for any adventure.

Reserve Your Floating Oasis

Ready to captain your own day of relaxation and fun? These pontoons are in high demand, so book now to secure your slice of paradise. Whether it’s a family outing or a chill day with friends, we promise a pontoon experience that’s smooth sailing from start to finish.

Pontoon Pick-Up Docks — Destin & Fort Walton Beach

Pontoons go out from four docks — three around Destin plus Fort Walton Beach. Find yours, park easy, check in fast.

Pick Your Launch Point

The dock your pontoon calls home is set by the option you book — checkout shows it, and your confirmation email backs it up.

Xtreme H2O of Crab Island: 7 Calhoun Ave, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 978-3060
Load beside the bridge for the quickest idle to the sandbar. Get directions

Destin X on the Harbor: 214 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 898-1204
Pontoons and double deckers also stage on the harbor at 214. Get directions

Gilligan’s Watersports: 530 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 · (850) 650-9000
More boats head out from 530 Harbor Blvd. Get directions

Xtreme H2O Fort Walton Beach: 169 Brooks Street SE, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548 · (850) 978-3060
Fort Walton Beach crews launch from Brooks Street. Get directions

Parking

Xtreme H2O dock (7 Calhoun Ave): use the public parking at the Destin Marina next to the launch. Spots go quickly on busy summer days — pile the crew into one car when you can.

Destin X (214 Harbor Blvd): one vehicle per booking parks on site, first come, first served. Additional cars go free to 310 Mountain Drive or $15 at 285 US-98 W; RVs and trailers use the paid public lot across the street.

Gilligan’s Watersports (530 Harbor Blvd): park free right on the property, first come, first served; overflow lives at 531 Mountain Drive.

Xtreme H2O Fort Walton Beach (169 Brooks St SE): on-site customer parking, one vehicle per reservation, first come, first served — carpool when it’s busy.

Check-In

Behind the wheel? Clear the paperwork before you get here: drivers born on or after January 1, 1988 need a Florida boater safety certificate, and taking the Florida temporary boater test online ahead of time makes check-in easier and faster. There’s a $3 NASBLA test at the dock too — just plan for extra time. Be at your launch point 45 minutes before your start with a photo ID for every driver, and the crew squares away life jackets and the safety talk.

Don’t forget: swimsuits and towels, reef-safe sunscreen, a waterproof pouch for your phone, and a small soft-sided cooler with drinks — glass stays on shore.

Had a great time!
This was our first parasail, and I chose Crab Island Runner since they had more positive reviews than most of the other outfits. The captain and the deckhand were polite, professional, and funny. They made sure everyone was safely secured before letting them "fly", and we had a great time sailing over the water. When I get a chance to return to Destin, I'll be parasailing with Crab Runner Island again.
