Yes, first time pontoon renters get a dockside safety briefing before leaving the marina, and that includes anchoring, channel markers, no wake zones, and the areas where the boat is allowed to go. Around Miramar Beach, staff points out Choctawhatchee Bay, Crab Island, and the Destin Pass area, since rental pontoons are kept in bay waters and not taken into the Gulf. The rundown takes 10min to 15min, depending on the boat and how many questions the group has.
