Traveler reviews
The experience
The pontoon itself is the only slide boat in Destin with a restroom onboard: a detail that changes the day for larger groups and families who don't want to cut the afternoon short. You meet the captain at the dock, load up to 12 people, and head into the clear waters toward Crab Island. Once anchored in the best spot, the captain handles the setup: floats, inflatable paddleboards and water toys go in the water, the Bluetooth speaker comes out, and the cooler sits ready. What you're left with is four hours to swim, slide, paddle and float without anyone managing logistics.
The boat is built for this. A double-decker means everyone has a place, whether they're in the water or watching from above. Families, couples, groups and bachelorette or bachelor parties all use the same boat the same way. The restroom onboard is the practical difference that lets you stay longer without the usual compromise. Bring your own ice and drinks. Everything else (the toys, the floats, the speaker, the cooler to hold them) is there.
