New* Godfrey Xperience Pontoon
This was a seamless boating rental for me and it was off-season. It's very hard at times to find off-season boat rental in this area. Great communication launched on time and it was an easy return.

Everything was better than expected! The boat was new. Our Captain Ray was very courteous and we were able to see several dolphins. It was the perfect day out to sea! We will always book with them in the future!

Brand New 2024 Double Decker Tritoon! Crab Island/Destin
Rod's boat was amazing! It had all the best toys and 2 slides! Our teen girls enjoyed everything from snorkeling to lily pads to the floating couch. Captain Jasson was very knowledgeable and took great care of us! We spent most of the day at crab Island but got to see plenty of dolphins to and from dock. All in all It was a great day!

Luxurious 24' Pontoon with lounge seating and mini deck in Fort Walton Beach
Awesome experience! It stormed and Sue and the crew still found a way to accommodate our schedule. I would definitely book with them again. Thanks Trent, Sue and the rest of the crew for making our rental on the ocean memorable and easy and for being so accommodating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fort Walton Beach known for?
Fort Walton Beach is known for the soft, white sandy beaches and for being a quieter vacation destination. It’s less popular than nearby Destin, offering more affordable accommodation options and less of a party crowd atmosphere. It’s great for older couples or families with young children who want a relaxing vacation without hoards of people on the beaches.
Does Fort Walton Beach have clear water?
The water and beaches around the Emerald Coast of Florida’s panhandle (where Fort Walton Beach is) are arguably the best in the entire state. They offer incredible swimming and sunbathing conditions, and you’ll definitely want to bring a mask and snorkel to enjoy the high visibility in the waters here.
Is Fort Walton Beach crowded?
During the Spring Break season, it’s always busy on all beaches of Florida. If you visit during the low season or one of the shoulder seasons, Fort Walton Beach can be very welcoming and not too crowded. If you visit during Spring Break and want to avoid the hoards of people on the sand - rent a boat during your stay in Fort Walton Beach to cruise around away from the crowds.
