This was the best bang for the buck I could find. It was easy to find. Easy to book. Easy to get out on the water!! We had the best 4 hours of our vacation on the pontoon! Exploring crab island, other shoes along the bay. We saw many dolphins! It was a great family day. Over we won't forget! It is worth it!

We had the best time taking the pontoon out to crab Island back. Brian and Logan were so helpful in explaining everything we needed to do to have a safe and delightful trip.
My wife n I got a 4 hr pontoon rental n added an hour twice n made it 6 hrs for the day. The staff is amazing! First off,I know crab island is a big thing but go west out of the marina n you'll find the swings plus a bunch of little sandbar islands you can just coast up to n drop anchor. Float around or walk around,it's freaken awesome. Kendrick got our cooler n boat ready n was very helpful n polite. While floating at the swings we ran into Gary there party boat captain on his day off. What's up Gary. O-H!!!
We really enjoyed our little excursion on your pontoon boat. The only thing I feel that could be improved is the check in process. We waited a half hour in line to check in. I think there should be a line for folks who have everything already filled out and paid for. And there should be a few more employees checking guests in. The facility is very nice and even has showers in the outside restrooms for guest to shower quickly. They have a nice store that has everytthing you may have forgotten to bring with you. It was a fun day!!
We have a great time thank you. Finish your waiver before you get there to make everything easier. After that just enjoy the boat ride.
Even tho the first boat left us stranded Capt Billy came right away and swapped us out so we could continue on. Great helpful staff! You can rent just about ANYTHING you need at the store. Would rent again from them.
My family’s experience was great esp our captin Jarred Wyatt made the experience worth while. I’d book and party with him anytime. Everybody was nice and hospitable great experience I’d highly recommend to anyone.
We rented a pontoon boat for what was supposed to be a half day 4 hrs. We actually extended two hours because we were having such a good time. Boat was spacious for our family of 9. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Crab Island. Would definitely recommend this company. Top Notch.
Everyone was great, Eric I. Was our captain and he really made our trip the best it could be considering the bad weather we were having. Would definitely recommend anyone to book with them and call Eric!
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!
awesome and amazing crab island was amazing we sang, danced and ate. laughed and will be doing it again soon
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.
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.
The Doc helpers were very helpful...first time driving a pontoon boat...amazing and easy don't forget take you a water football to throw
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!
This boat was one of the highlights of our 4th of July celebration. Very easy to drive & the staff was super nice and knowledgeable!
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!
Really enjoyed this experience! Our host made everything so simple and straightforward for us. I'll definitely be using them again!
Nice setting and nicer people.. the staff is very kool and hands on. Boats were very clean and up to par. They accommodated us and gave us a discount to help us fit our # of family members on the boat. With very much courtesy.. inwould reccomend this rental for anyone
The boat ride was great, until the storm come in, then they called us and cut the day short. They refunded us half of the money we spent for the full day rental.
Great customer service and clean facilities. The equipment was in great condition. There was a cooler on board. Bring your own speaker for music.
My experience was absolutely superb!!! It’s crazy how as soon as I was done I immediately wanted to go back for more I booked a 4hr duration I’m definitely coming back for the full day package my dock handler was the nicest guy he thought my boyfriend how to drive a boat for the first time I just can’t thank y’all enough. The only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that a $250 deposit was not disclose prior to arrival deposit can be made either on a card or with cash that you can get back immediately.
Great experience and great customer service. The Beach Weekend Team was awesome!! They made sure we were set to have a great time!
Great price and boat was in excellent shape and easy to operate for a first time user. My family had a blast taking it to Crab Island.
The location was easy to find .. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and there was an easy check in process . when we went back for the boat no was was there to greet us as we stood around for 15 minutes until someone approached us .- The boat itself was like very boat with the exception that it capped out at the 10 miles per hr, we’ve been to crab island several time but this particular boot was really slow .The distance was about 2 miles but took about 39 because our boat was slow .Crab island itself was amazing as usual . However we did get lost in the way back I think there should be gps installed on the boats . They also wil take an additional $250.00 off whomever booked for insurance purposes that you are will not get back immediately. I’ve never had that with any other boat rentals , but overall it was a good experience.
Get experience for the family. Crab island is amazing. The pontoon easy to operate. The staff very friendly and knowledgeable.
We were in Okaloosa Island/Fort Walton Beach for a friends wedding. The day after the wedding all 100 of us rented 10-12 pontoon boats from The Beach Weekend to go out to crab island. Walked in to the building to check in and immediately noticed how rude the employees were to everyone in our party. Specifically, Gretchen who I’m assuming is the manager? She talked to us like we were dumb and she was not happy to have our business. We have friends who are locals to the area and they said they have never been to a business that treated them this way. Spend your money at another business who will treat you nicely and be happy to serve you.
We had a wonderful time and I enjoyed our Captain Eric Iverson was the best!!! I highly recommend Beach Weekend for your Patoon Boats need
Great service. Great boat. No issues. Loved our day on the water. Location easy to get to. Bring sunscreen for sure.
We will definitely rent a pontoon from the Beach Weekend again. The pontoon was very clean and well maintained. We received great customer service in terms of communication on signing waivers and operating the pontoon. This was my sister's first time driving a pontoon and she did it very well with the guidance and instruction from the staff at the Beach Weekend. We were able to make it to Crab Island and return without any issues. Thanks so much Beach Weekend for making this a positive experience.
We did a reservation at the last minute and they still had room for my family. Accommodations were spot on along with hospitality. Price for the rental was definitely worth it an we will definitely be coming back to this place!! We have the best experience ever!!
Great fun and they run the business very well I’d recommend to anyone looking for fun in fort Walton
The boat was nice and clean. Cooler and radio included a plus. The service was prompt. The instructions given to us as first time pontoon renters were clear and took away our anxiety. Facility, including bathrooms were nice and neat. Service was great. I’d definitely come back here on our next trip to Destin!
Great time for all. The boat was clean and ran well! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable! Marina is very close to Crab Island.
Driving around with my families, and spending time on crab island. The staff was extremely professional and helpful.
Highly recommended. Clean , easy and very accommodating.We called and told them we would be late , they didn’t cancel they extended our time . We still got 4 hours to enjoy the boat.
This place is Awesome, the staff is so friendly and very polite. The Pontoons are very clean and comfortable. We had a Great time and Expierience. I definitely recommend this place for your Pontoon rentals.
Everything was excellent . My family and I really enjoyed this experience.The service was great everything went smoothly
My family and I had an awesome time. It was our first time renting a pontoon boat and won't be the last. I would definitely recommend Beach Weekend Marina for your excursion. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is beautiful and they offer showers. The boats are clean, offer a cooler and Bluetooth speaker to play music. The facility also sells ice and beverages. Booking through Viator was flawless and were able to answer all our questions prior to booking.
Everything was great!! They made sure we were comfortable with everything before we left out!! Will be using them again!!
