Amazing! We took…read moreour boat to Destin for family trip. The place we rented had boat dock but no launch/ramp. We used Destin Marina to launch from. They have a nice and small convenience store for ice, drinks, and misc items. There is gas at the end of the dock. There are picnic tables in the back. This came in handy to keep the kids occupied while launching the boat. Normally the wife pulls the truck off ramp and parks the trailer. At this marina, there were plenty of workers/dock helpers that helped the husband with all this. Having these young men helper is as such a blessing and added bonus. We made sure to tip them. There is also an indoor restroom close by that is clean and spacious and made a great family changing room. You literally leave the marina and pull right onto Crab Island.

This is the place! Literally right across the inlet from Crab Island and just under the bridge to…read morethe Harbor. Deck hands took off my boat and docked it while I drove 100yrds to D&J Dry storage ( see my review for Susan at D&J) walked back to pier and deck hand fueled my boat, paid for fuel and $20 launch fee and was off. They have everything you need. Fuel, bait, beer, ice, snacks, water, drinks and plenty of place to dock. Current can be swift here so have dock lines tied to boat so they can take it off trailer by hand and never get out of your truck. Or show everyone your boating skills and back it off yourself bumping and scraping the pier and not tip the young guys trying to make a dollar for the summer. I do that enough back home in GA where we have an 8' tide swing not 8" like in Destin. When I am on vacation I treat myself like the rich guy I'm not and let servants do the work. Just makes life enjoyable. Beside no one will go home and tell their friends about the amazing boat handler they watched in Destin.

Chase who is in charge of the service department is always willing to do whatever it takes to make sure his customers are happy I've been using adventure marina for two years now and Ive done all of my service work with Chase and my installs for trolling motors etc. These guys are hard-working and first class. This type of service is a lost art Kudos to Paul and the team

I recently purchased a boat in Pensacola. My broker Terry Myers suggested after my sea trial to…read morehave the boat hauled out at Pelicans Perch Marina. All of the staff at Pelicans Perch were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful during my stay at the boatyard. I had a bottom job, fiberglass repairs, and some mechanical repairs performed while my boat was at Pelicans Perch Marina. The next time you need a bottom job or any other repairs that require a haul-out, I highly recommend Pelicans Perch Marina! By the way, they make a great cup of coffee. Thanks, Ladies and gents.

We stayed at Pelicans Perch for about a week during January. The facilities are by no means new,…read morebut the staff is so kind and helpful you quickly forget you ever cared about floating docks or new power plug-ins. One gentleman was nice enough to drive me around looking for an outboard motor when I needed a ride, and the management helped work out a fair compromised rate when we realized we had to stay for longer than we planned as we did necessary work on the motor. Speaking of doing work on the boat, there are a number of very useful professional metal fabricators, a canvas shop, and expert diesel mechanics within a few minutes walk. Grocery stores are within a mile or so, as are Tippy's Tavern, West Marine (closing this month unfortunately), and theres another restaurant called The Oarhouse five minutes away by dinghy. Pelican's Perch was a GREAT find for us, and I very highly recommend it for anyone on a budget needing to do work on their boat.

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 .

We're never faced any racism before but he was very clean that he had an opinion about us and the situation we were in. If your boat doesn't want to turn on, I'd suggest you have them go get you.

After a minor issue involving another jet ski, I was approached by a member of your security team who immediately became hostile. Rather than attempting to understand the situation, he escalated things by threatening me and stating that I was banned from returning for the next year. When I asked for his name, he refused to provide it. I am including a photo of this individual, since he would not identify himself. What was even more troubling was the discriminatory tone and attitude he displayed toward me after realizing I am Jewish. His behavior and remarks were clearly biased and inappropriate, making me feel targeted because of my religion. This is completely unacceptable. I am requesting a full review of this incident!!!
