We rented for a special occasion ! This was our 4th time renting from beach weekend ! 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 group had fun but definitely were not satisfied with the experience. I'm giving it 2 stars due…read moreto it being easy to book, comparable in prices to other companies doing the same thing, and every employee we encountered was nice & friendly. The reasons it wasn't 5 stars was mainly due to the equipment you get. The boat is your typical double decker pontoon boat with a 115 on it. The problem was that the propeller was so worn out that we weren't able to drive it like we should have. Took almost an hour to get to crab island from their dock. We were getting passed by all sorts of boats with the same & smaller motors like we weren't even moving. To make it worse, they don't have speakers on the boats and suggest you rent their TurtleBox speaker. No problem right? We spent $50 to rent it only for it to die in less than 2 hours. We called back to the receptionist to let them know about our issues. After a little time they said they would refund us 50% of what we paid plus take off the $75 Lilly Pad rental. About 2 hours later I got an email saying that I was refunded a little over $181. So they felt refunding $181 out of our $1362 bill was going to be okay. Wouldn't recommend this company, bring your own boat or use someone else.

Seagulls and pelicans patiently waiting for boats to dock trying to make a catch then all of a sudden it pulls in. One of the nicest boats I've ever been on in my life. Heading out with pure power and top of the line equipment 15 minutes in already had dinner swimming our way. A few stops and quick grabs was a blast as we got further out starting seeing fish I've only ever seen pictures of. 6 hours wasn't enough but ideal for first timers id imagine. Next trip 12 or more no questions. I was left wanting one more catch just one more. From beginning to end was hands down 5 star treatment. You're not dealing with a business like fishing charter the Captains wife kept me informed on everything answered every time I called with new questions even on a Sunday spending time with family. Just so happened to be horrible weather coming on the day of our trip and I called and asked last minute if we could change and without hesitation they made adjustments even as busy as they were. That showed me right then and there I found the best in the business that was willing to accommodate me for the best experience ever. I highly recommend Backlash. Deck hand was all in and very knowledgeable and kept the trip fun and took care of everything. Even made a delicious snack while we fished. "Water 2 Gut" fish is what I called. Fish probably still had a heart beat while we were eating the rest of em. Never had fresh fish like that. Cant wait to go again. Thanks Again! Backlash

He even radioed a friend and got us to see a dolphin! He was incredibly accommodating to us on the boat and made us feel right at home. He had all the right connections too and was able to get us food and fun things like coconuts drinks. He was very nice, upbeat and relaxed personality while still giving you confidence that he had everything under control. After going to crab island I can see that booking with a captain like Robbie verses renting a boat on our own was 100% the way to go.
