Rented a pontoon for half a day off of Groupon. Upon arrival, we did have to pay for parking. The single-decker boat we requested was not available, so we received an upgrade... Yay! The process to get the boat was easy. We had an amazing time out at Crab Island. It was easy to return. We just texted them, and they came to bring us in. They provided us with a huge speaker, which was greatly appreciated, along with a cooler, but it was dirty, so we were unable to use it, and there were old diapers in the trash. would absolutely use them again read more

We decided to rent from this company because the previous year things went smoothly. First mistake. The owner told us that he would blow up our floats for us, so we left our electric pump at our condo. When we arrived he wasn't even there and there was a girl that worked for a different company helping us and he told her to use a leaf blower to blow up our floats. Which, fyi, didn't work at all. We ended up wasting so much time trying to get our floats blown up. Finally, the girl helps us using the other companies pump. She tells us that he will be there when we get back. When we got back to the dock, he still was not there and it was her helping us again. He had, also, given her a speaker to give to us to use and it didn't even last us the short stent of our four hour trip. At least the boat was nice and was MODERATELY clean. read more

RENTER BEWARE!! We live locally and have given all of our rental business to Surf N Pontoons for the last several years in an effort to help this young business work out its kinks and succeed, but it's ALWAYS A DISASTER! I'M DONE!! Two seasons ago, my young daughter's Crab Island b-day party was a nightmare when we were given a boat with no working radio, a frayed Lily Pad tether cord that busted in the first 10 minutes of use, and more... only to return to them with 10 disappointed little girls and having lead company crew member scream, cuss, practically assault me when making him aware of the issues and requesting the owner's contact info. Tyler's business partner initially took full responsibility and offered to make it right the very next season, but apparently, He and Tyler parted business ways, and the partner is now a "part-time employee." Wanting to give them another chance, we rented again and had the same type of issues, and we had to call them and wait for them to come out to Crab Island and replace the tattered floating Lily Pad and busted tether, etc. Tyler then gave the sad saga that he had fired everybody and changed company names to Surf N Pontoon because of the bad reputation, and begged for another chance, offering a free rental next time if we'd come back. Came back and voluntarily paid the full price once again on a new double deck w/slide combo, only to have similar issues once again. 3/22/24 Tyler promised a free rental since we never took him up on it before, except this time, I felt more than justified and fed up, but I just went to redeem the promise and was told to pay 50%. I'm not one to eat 3/4 of a steak and then complain in an effort to get my meal comped, but enough is enough, and I was trying to stay faithful as he explained he borrowed all the investment money from his dad and trying not to fail & lose it. Being a business owner myself, I respect that as well as try to support the little guys and local small businesses, but now he says he fired his entire staff again for the 3rd time that I'm aware of, and I am starting to wonder if the problem lies in the leadership, not EVERYONE ELSE and clients. This may work with out-of-towners on vacation who just ruin their one time here visiting, but as a local seeing and experiencing the repetitious issues & excuses, I just want to pay our money and enjoy our day on the water without any issues moving forward... Good luck should you choose to ignore this warning. read more

He also called every shot as we approached the fishing spot. First off we caught our bait, which took only about 10 minutes and was fun for my wife and daughter. Then we motored to our first spot where Spanish mackerel were boiling the water. The action was fast paced and didn't take long for the entire family to feel the fight. Then we went to our second spot, an inshore reef where we free lined bait and caught some really nice king mackerel. My wife caught the biggest and she was proud. Our third spot was for amberjacks. WOW!!! Is all I can say, they pull Iike a freight train, which again we all got to try our hand at hoisting one in. After we had enough of them fighting, we were on to try grouper. Unfortunately we never got the bait to them, the trigger fish were wearing us out, but they were fun too. We also caught Bonito along the way. Our last stop was for bull reds on our way in. We were not planning to keep fish because we were in a hotel, but Captain Brian recommended keeping some and having The Original Water Front Crab Shack cook them for us. He cleaned them and we took them there for lunch. They cooked some up blackened and fried for us and they were awesome! Great ending to a really great day! Thank you Captain Brian!!!

I had an absolute blast on the Surf and Pontoons Crab Island Boat Tour in Destin, Florida! This 4-hour trip to the iconic Crab Island sandbar was pure perfection. We cruised through Destin's stunning emerald waters on a spacious single-deck pontoon boat, which was ideal for soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Captain Tyler and his crew were phenomenal--Tyler's skill and enthusiasm kept the vibe upbeat, while deckhand Jordan shared cool insights about the local marine life and made sure everyone was having fun. The highlights were endless: anchoring at Crab Island to wade in the clear, shallow waters, enjoying floating food vendors (the shrimp tacos were amazing!), and spotting dolphins en route. The boat was pristine, with comfy seating, a Bluetooth sound system, and extras like inflatables and paddleboards for everyone to enjoy. The crew's attentiveness--handing out drinks, snapping photos, and ensuring our comfort--was top-tier. The shaded canopy was a lifesaver, though I'd recommend packing extra sunscreen. The tour ran flawlessly from start to finish. Surf and Pontoons nailed every detail, blending relaxation, adventure, and stellar service. This Crab Island tour is a must for anyone visiting Destin!

I had such a great time wakeboarding and surfing for the first time! I was honestly a bit nervous going in since I'd never tried either before, but the instructor made it such an easy and fun experience. He's a great teacher -- super patient, clear with instructions, and really encouraging the whole time. You can tell he knows what he's doing and actually cares about helping you improve. I was up on the board way quicker than I expected, and by the end, I felt way more confident. Everything was well set up, the boat and gear were great, but what really made the experience was how supportive and knowledgeable he was. If you're new to wakeboarding or surfing, this is 100% the best way to try it. read more

If you're heading to Destin or Ft Walton Beach, call Tyler at Surf N Pontoons! We booked with him twice last year and had a fantastic time. Great boat, fun stop at Crab Island and he's now our Go-To for a day on the water! He clearly loves the and is so knowledgeable about the area, took us to a great spot for relaxing on the lily pad and fun on the slide. Just called him about our upcoming Spring Break trip. He also does jet surf lessons and our kids had a great time. We even saw dolphins swimming alongside our boat on the way back! Highly recommend Surf N Pontoons.

This was a fantastic experience. I was taking my friend's kids out for the weekend and decided to…read moretake them out on a boat to go fishing. I didn't plan ahead, which was a mistake because everyone was booked. I ended up calling up Anchor and I was lucky to find that they had one boat left because of a cancellation so I hurried out to Fort Walton Beach to go pick it up. Sign in was really easy and after hearing that we were complete novices when it came to fishing, Hank went out of his way to hook us up with some live bait. It was a ton of fun and Anchor made things really, really easy. I admittedly prefer the waters around Destin, but you know...the next time I get a boat, I might get one here anyway.
