Great day at Crab Island
We had an amazing family trip with Double Fun Pontoons! The boat was comfortable and perfect for a fun day at Crab Island. Our driver, Thomas, was outstanding - friendly, professional and attentive throughout the entire trip, he was entertaining and entertained! Everyone had a great time. Highly recommend adding a driver, you will be glad you did. Get out there and slide your buns!
Response from the operator: Michelle! Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad your family had an amazing day at Crab Island with Double Fun and that Captain Thomas helped make the trip easy, fun, and memorable. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to have you back out on the water again soon.

Top notch trip
Captain was amazing, very knowledgeable about when we could go to find shells, deep water to utilize the water slides and were we could just hang is shallow water.

Thank you, Captain Taylor C.!
We had Taylor C. as our captain and he was absolutely amazing! Great with the kids, easy going, and made sure we all had a great experience. We wanted to take a route back that we would most likely see dolphins and he delivered! We saw a few very up close and it was all around such a great time!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad Captain Taylor helped make the day easy, fun, and memorable for your whole group. We’ll be sure to pass the kind words along to him, and we hope to have you back with Double Fun again!

Family Trip 2026
We rented a double slide pontoon and loved it. Captain Thomas is so sweet and caring. He took us out where the 6 grands could slide. The water was a little rough from traffic, so he took us toward Okaloosa where the water was calmer. He kept my 77yr old mom entertained, took our pictures and kept us safe. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Shannon! We’re so glad your family had such a memorable day with Double Fun and that Captain Thomas took great care of everyone. We’ll be sure to pass the kind words along to him, and we hope to have you back again!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Destin.
How much does 13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain cost?
+
Prices start at $530 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Destin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Destin is not rushed.
Is 13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Destin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Destin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Destin and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 13-Person Destin Double-Decker Pontoon Boat Charter with Captain start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Destin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Destin?
+
Destin sells time on the water: pontoon and catamaran charters out of the harbour, dolphin cruises through Choctawhatchee Bay, snorkel trips to Crab Island and deep-sea fishing that leaves before sunrise. On Outty we rank every Destin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Clear Kayaking Eco Adventure Tour in Marianna, Sunset Dolphin Cruise, Top Shelf Tikis Crab Island Adventure 3 hr. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Destin?
+
March to May and September to October, when Gulf water is warm and crowds thin. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Destin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
