On the sparkling water of Destin Harbor, Florida, the Double Decker Pontoon Boat Rental from Boogies Watersports turns a standard day on the Gulf into a buoyant, social escape. Located at 16 Harbor Blvd. Destin, FL 32541, this 30-foot, U.S. Coast Guard–inspected party barge carries up to 12 people and comes outfitted with two decks and two water slides—ideal for family afternoons, bachelorette groups, or anyone wanting an easy, festive way to explore the Emerald Coast.
Start at the Boogies Watersports sales booth at HarborWalk: check in there, descend the stairs to the dock, show your ticket, and the crew will brief you. Operators must be 18 or older, sign liability waivers, and carry a valid form of ID; guests born on or after January 1, 1988 need a Florida Boater's Safety Card or a nationally recognized equivalent to operate. Boats are equipped with a 115 HP engine and are available for four-hour half-day and eight-hour full-day rentals—timed to coincide with spring, summer, and fall schedules and holiday premiums.
Key features are straightforward and fun: twin water slides for quick, splashy exits; an upper deck for sunning and panoramic harbor views; a shallow-anchor option to spend time at Crab Island; and a Certified safety profile. The Destin Harbor route threads commercial marinas, passing waterfront restaurants and the lively HarborWalk area before opening to the shallow shoals that compose the local social scene at Crab Island. This stretch of the Emerald Coast is notable for its accessible harbor environment and shallow sandbars that draw boaters together in summer months.
Practical rules shape the experience: a strict 12-person capacity, no grills, and all pontoon boats must be returned by sunset. Dogs are allowed for an additional fee, and operators must ensure English-speaking drivers onboard for safety. Destin Harbor and Crab Island are designated no-wake zones—respect them to protect fragile shorelines and fellow boaters.
Why book this over a standard charter? The Double Decker Pontoon is as much a mobile beach as it is a vessel: two decks create separate zones for lounging, music, dining, and launching off slides—making it a versatile option for groups who want both play and relaxation without complex planning or equipment. For visitors staying in Destin, a pontoon day answers the question of how to experience the coast with minimal logistics and maximum social payoff. Bring a cooler, life vests are provided, follow safety briefings, and you’ll leave with easy, sunlit memories of the Emerald Coast. Rental rates vary by season—expect roughly $450–$895 depending on half- or full-day bookings and peak summer or holiday surcharges—and drivers should review the company’s safety briefing before casting off. Reserve ahead through the provided booking link at Boogies Watersports to lock your preferred date and start time and crew.
