We had the best time! It feels like you’re on a jet ski and we got to see dolphins up close. We went at sunset and ai highly recommend going at this time, it was magical. Be prepared, the closer you sit to the back the more soaked you get. We were  laughing so hard! The spray in the back is a little intense but so fun!

Beyond fun!

We arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule as requested, and the team got us out quickly onto our boat, which was clean and ready for our day!

Perfect Experience

I would come back and rent again. Everyone was nice, helpful and thorough, keeping me informed. Couple of things I would consider changing…Put the boat operation and safety video on your website, make it easy and available, unable to view it. Once the waiver and the link expires, you can’t go back in make changes or corrections. A staff member sent me the link after request, this saves us both time and money and could be avoided. The video is very helpful and should be readily available and viewed as many times as needed for a first time boat operator or especially an inexperienced boater. Also, I suggest putting the rental insurance options early on and BOLD print, not buried in the fine long winded print. Makes you feel blind sided when you get to the window to pay… people don’t like $$ surprises ($75-$500) A final thought is some of the wording about if staff has to come get the boat “for any reason” is not at all warm and fuzzy felling to the customer. Sometimes boats just break down and have issues out of the control of the customer. Hopefully this is not the case. If so, you should revisit this policy. 

Thanks!

Professional

I have used them several times and  have excellent customer service. Super helpful and always friendly. Would recommend a million times.

We had a great time at Crab Island! The boat was big, with storage space under the benches. The canopy cover was large so we had lots of shade. We were rained out halfway through our trip, so we were offered the afternoon trip for no extra charge. We will be repeat customers when we come back to Destin!

Captain Daniel and 1st Mate Kevin are fabulous!

Very  clean boat. This is a family run trip and they were awsome. We encountered some bad weather  but they invited all on the trip back for the later trip or a voucher for the next time you visited Destin. I would recommend this trip and I would go again. Oh we also saw dolphins very close to the boat. Chris Lay

Awesome

Mrs.

I booked a pontoon boat rental through TripShock, which apparently acts as an agency for individual rental operators.
When the rental I had chosen fell through, TripShock proactively found an alternate operator and made all the arrangements to switch my booking.
A woman from TripShock called me to let me know what was going on and answered all my questions, and TripShock followed up with e-mails and text messages. They even told me the best place to park near the marina.
Oh, and the rental from the replacement operator turned out to be less expensive than my original booking, so I got a partial refund, too.
Before I started, I was a little wary of booking through an agency instead of contacting individual rental operators directly. But I am so glad I went to TripShock.com. Their web site is a great place to find a lot of offers, and I can't say enough good things about their customer service.

Good boat, great customer service

We rented a double decker boat with double slides for 8 adults and 4 kids. The check in process can be a little stressful so be sure to arrive at least 30 before departure time. The boat was great and spacious. They got us on the water quickly and crab island was awesome. The entire group thought it was the highlight of the trip.
