Great time - This experience was amazing. We enjoyed our boat rental and everything was clean and easy check-in. The only thing we did not have was a Bluetooth speaker but everything else was awesome.

Pure peaceful relaxation - This boat ride is easier than it looks, the explanation of how to use the boat seems complex but in reality it's very easy. Loved this activity was out favorite of our entire stay.

You simply cannot miss this experience during your visit to Destin! - My fiancé and I reserved this experience and we would definitely do it over and over again! If you're heading to Destin, you must book this and take a trip to Crab Island. It was stunning and incredible. We really appreciated the privacy of having the boat all to ourselves. Noah (from Gainesville) was one of three Noahs, and he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made it easy for us to understand how to operate the boat. We can't wait to book again in the future!

Awesome Boat Rental - We had a great time using Beach Weekend pontoon rentals! There was some spotty weather at our assigned departure time and they were extremely accommodating and helpful as we monitored the need to change our rental times. (They did this while also informing us that this flexibility is available ONLY with the specific boats availability for the day). Once we got there, check in was quick and seamless and they had us loaded on the boat in no time. The boat was clean and comfy and perfect for a fun day at Crab Island! Given the opportunity to rent a boat in the area again, I would definitely go with Beach Weekend!

Great just understaffed for the holiday weekend. - We went on Labor Day weekend. The wait was at least a bit more than an hour. They were understaffed according to the workers. So, though they were literally running their tails off trying to accommodate all the renters, it was just too much for the 2 or 3 guys. They did extend our time to make up for the delay, which was appreciated. The guys were great, just overextended and likely tired and hungry. The boat seats were in great shape. The gas and trim gauges didn’t work. We called before getting too far away. The gal who answered said the gas gauges go out first, and that if it’s running, it has gas. We did get a warning about the engine overheating. We just let off the throttle a bit and never had an issue fortunately. We went to small islands first and then Crab Island next. We would likely just go to Crab Island next time - so fun!
