    Take a boat ride around the bay to enjoy some scenery!

    This was our 2nd time renting from Aloha and still pleased. Boats are in good shape, close to crab island with access out if Destin harbor and price reasonable. Crab island is always a great day to spend your day.....enjoying the beautiful water and soaking up the sun! Seeing the dolphins is always an added plus!

    Great experience with the crew here. They were nice and welcoming to our group. We tried to get on the water around 10 but at first they didn't have anything available until 1:30pm, but once something became available they offered it to us and got us on the water at 11! Checking in was quick and easy, the crew hands are extremely helpful and polite (be sure to tip). The boat was clean, functional, and fun! Will definitely be back to rent here! Thanks Aloha!!

    Absolutely amazing staff and rental. We have rented many places but this is by far the best. From our first call the ease of reservation, payment, checking in, loading up and got on water quick!! Boat was great and everything worked(most fleets don't)!!!! Staff was helpful upon return helped load up and get us offloaded and in the parking lot. Boat = great Staff = amazing Price = comparable Friendliness!!! Easy!!!! Nice!!!!!! Great time get folks will rent again from these guys!!!! Thank you

    This is our second time with them. Last time it was 3 years ago and we are back today. Amazing experience. Their pontoons are almost new, looks like they updated them. Service excellent! Communication even better! If you come to Destin you have to use Aloha Pontoon! Love it

    Rented pontoons from a few different places over the years in Destin, FL and this was by far the best place we rented from. Awesome customer service and easy rental process. Brand new pontoons so everything worked for example the radio system was updated. Highly recommend Aloha Pontoon Rental!

    Very nice, new pontoon boat. Our group really had a great time!!

    Plus crab island was so much fun with hundreds of boats all moored together and everyone out of their boat in waist deep water.

It was our…read morefriends sons graduation trip and this was supposed to be best day of the 6 day stay with us on emerald coast . I speak highly of beach weekend because the kids working the docks are always so nice and accommodating . But this time we waited 20 mins with our dolley cart loaded while everyone working inflated floats for customers and walked around ...... we were just about to say something then someone walked up to give my hubs the boat walk through . This time we didn't get a boat with the complimentary huge cooler . It was a smaller boat . Too late to switch but ask for that one if you can because it's nice transferring everything to there big cooler and not have 5/7 yetis on one pontoon . This trip the boat we rented broke down 1/2 way to crab ..... it delayed us over an hour waiting for new boat . We swam around where we were parked and chilled. Totally fine and happy waiting in gorgeous clear water off oakaloosa . When they came to replace it we had to unload current boats bags and coolers for 10 people to new boat . Not bad but kinda added more time to find where everyone's stuff was after we quickly moved . We were kinda annoyed he said we could have an extra 30 mins added to our trip . We told him we were delayed over an hour so he said 1 hour passed our time scheduled to return ...... It's likely we will rent from them again in July because of all the great experiences we've had in the passed . They do military discounts and it's pretty reasonably priced . Plus they drive the boat out and in the marina for you...... I would have been happy if they gave us more then an additional hour that we missed or a discount on the next rental ..... we got there at 10:30am . 30 mins before our check in time . But we legit didn't get to crab till after 1 between waiting to load then the boat beeping and stalling out 1/2 way there .

Our captain was super friendly and most importantly made sure our ride was safe. He went over the top while we were at Crab Island - blowing up rafts, going to the food boats for us, etc. We booked a four hour charter but could have stayed all day, we had so much fun!

Unfortunately, for myself and my family we were sold on this idea of a pretty cool pirate ship that tours the island of Destin. Not at all with this ship does. This cruise is solely intended to entertain children while you explore a small area of the waters for example passing crab Island starting just a short distance away from Harbor Walk. We were lucky enough to see a dolphin take a quick flip above water, but if you blinked and missed it, which some people in my group did, then you missed it but it's not advertised as part of the experience so for those of us that saw it, we were lucky. I do find that there are many dolphins and you get to see them probably any day you're on the water. The ship is exceptionally clean, and I loved the laboratory facilities. Not your typical tiny bathrooms that you find on a boat. We did order the fast on boarding Tickets, which I did not feel were necessary. No one asked us for it and when we got to the ship, we were instructed to walk to the front just like everybody else and had to wait for one family to board ahead of us as they only board one group at a time. In my mind that family did not have a fast on boarding, however, who knows. We were not asked for the Pass and there was no line or sign to indicate what side to stand on if you had a fast on boarding. Maybe this is more valuable during peak season but definitely not now.

The boat had indoor/outdoor seating, along with restrooms and snack stand. We sat on the upper deck the majority of the cruise had great views and our captain was awesome spotting the dolphins and turning the boat around so both sides could see. They also have a spot on the tour where the birds follow the back of the boat looking for snacks, you can feed them chips. It was gross but cool at the same time. My grandson loved it.

Very convenient location at the boardwalk. We booked for 7 of us ahead of time (about a month ahead of time online) with no issues. They started the cruise right on time and there was plenty of seating on a dual level boat. They took us out into the harbor for dolphin watching. The crew said there was no guarantee to see dolphins but they were very confident we would get some action and they were right! We saw SO many dolphins and they came so close to the boat, swimming in their schools. It was so cool. The crew member manning the intercom was also giving tips during the ride for how to attract the dolphins closer. We also saw a beautiful sunset. It was a great time. Would definitely recommend dolphin/sunset cruises through them!
