Great experience renting a pontoon boat!! Boat was clean, in good condition and ready to go when…read morewe arrived. The staff was friendly and helpful with a map and recommendations on where and where not to go. Also, I found the pricing here to be the best among all the companies that I looked at in Destin. You do have to park across the street, but this information is all provided before you arrive. We unloaded at the front desk and then my husband parked the car, only took a few extra minutes.

Pontoon was in rough shape but most rentals are. To be expected. Tip your staff. They work hard. Don't be a cheapskate.

The online reservation process was simple and straightforward, and check-in was quick and hassle-free. The boat was perfect for our group and made for a fun day on the water. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for an easy rental experience and a great time. One helpful tip: bring your own trash bags to make cleanup quick and easy before returning the boat at the end of the day. We'll definitely use this company again!

We've rented pontoon boats from Boogie Watersports several times over the years and, overall, we've…read morealways enjoyed our days on the water. The check-in process was friendly and efficient. Since we've rented boats here before, we appreciated that the safety briefing was shortened and focused on the essentials rather than making us sit through the entire presentation again. That said, it would have been helpful to clearly remind returning customers about the exact navigation boundaries and where boating is not permitted. Our 25ft pontoon boat was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for a relaxing day around Destin Harbor and Crab Island. However, part of the bimini top was torn and flapped loudly in the wind throughout the day. The Bluetooth radio also didn't work. We've experienced that on previous rentals as well, so perhaps it is intentionally disabled, but if that's the case it would be good to communicate that upfront. The biggest disappointment was the pricing transparency. The advertised rental price looks attractive, but then a 4% "Village Fee" and an additional 2.5% "Operational Cost Fee" are added before sales tax. An operational cost fee feels particularly difficult to justify, as operational costs should already be included in the advertised price. By the time all fees and taxes are added, a rental advertised at $345 ends up costing about $427. That leaves customers feeling misled and takes away from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Overall, we had a great day on the water and the staff was professional and pleasant. Improving the condition of some equipment and being more transparent about the true rental cost would make the experience even better.

Pretty sweeeeet. We booked tickets to go parasailing (my first time by the way). First, our…read moreoriginal scheduled time had to be cancelled for weather (thanks for keeping us safe!) and they rescheduled us for later in the day. Tristan took some sweet pics with his camera you can buy at the end sent directly to your phone. David navigated the boat like a champ--low key riding the boat waiting for your turn in the air was pretty fun. Lastly, David and Tristan somehow summoned the dolphins and we ended the parasailing trip with an additional tour around a pod of dolphins with a baby dolphin. Thanks for the memorable first time para sailing !

The deck hands were very thorough on all the safety and operational instructions. We had a great afternoon on Crab Island - and returned to the same helpful Staff at SS.

He maintained…read moreconstant communication from the time we booked a month in advance, up to the minute we stepped on the boat. He made sure I knew the cancellation policy on weather conditions and I have to say, they are FAR more generous than any other company I've dealt with. He wasn't afraid to zig zag through the crowd to get us right in the middle of all the fun, which is exactly where we wanted to be. He provided a big floating mat, a beer pong game that was a huge hit with our group, a big Bluetooth speaker, as well as his photo services. He had no problems taking pics of our group for us while we had our fun. He got in the water and played football with the husbands and retrieved drinks and Jell-O shots for the ladies. We could not have asked for anything more! He will be our go-to from now on, no doubt about it!
