We had an unforgettable time with Tyler on the nautique! We were able to enjoy crab island and a great boat cruise! He was very easy to communicate with and there were no hidden fees!

My husband and I rented a pontoon on May 28th to take a trip to Crab Island. The experience was amazing. Such a chill vibe. We had so much fun. We worked with Tyler on the booking. He was very responsive through text and if he couldn't get back to me right away because he was out on the water, he definitely responded as soon as he could. Miles helped us with the explanation of how to maneuver through the water and directions on how to get to Crab Island. I will definitely use surf n pontoons next time we travel to Destin

We booked the Ultimate Crab Island + Extreme Watersport Package! Tyler, our captain, took us on an exciting boat ride where we saw a few pods of dolphins before heading to crab island. After several hours of hanging out, throwing the football, listing to music and looking for crabs, it was time to attempt wake surfing. Tyler was patient and successful in teaching my boys and husband how to surf! Very fun activity, I highly recommend booking with “Surf N Pontoons”, you will not be disappointed! Tyler is professional, laid back, and knowledgeable about all things water sports!! Definitely will be returning customers, worth every penny!

Me and my family did the Ultimate Crab Island + Extreme Watersport Package and it was definitely a great experience! Crab Island was beautiful, we saw dolphins and we experienced wakeboarding which was the highlight of the trip for me and my sons! I’d give 10 starts if I could! Highly recommend!

The pontoon we got was in good shape. And any boating requires someone with experience. Don’t expect someone to teach you in 30 minutes lecture now. You can be provided safety training but once you are in the water is all you. That’s why you sign waivers… Inspect your boat prior to leaving.. And be responsible. Check weather data.
