One of Destin's favorite activities is renting pontoon boats. You can do a lot of different activities like going to crab island (Destin's large sandbar right under the Marler Bridge), fishing in the bay, cruising for a sunset tour, or just relaxing under the Florida sun. There are many different companies in Destin that offer Pontoon rentals, but there are some things you may not know before you book.
- You will be required to put down a valid credit card for damages of the pontoon boat. Some places won't take cash as a deposit so you may want to check first.
- Make sure the company is established in the area. This shows that they have had repeat business throughout the year and maintained safety and quality standards.
- If you own a cd player or Ipod, make sure you ask if a hook up is available for this. You may want to listen to your favorite music while cruising.
- Pontoons are not allowed in the ocean. The coast guard will be after you and they'll be sure to cut your fun short.
- Check the age requirements for the rental. Some places will not rent if you are under a certain age. You may be required to take a Florida Boaters Test. It's not very difficult!
- Make sure you bring the boat back before dark. Some companies will charge a late fee if you keep it out too long. Make sure you are keeping track of the time. Other customers may be waiting.
