But if you were born on or after January 1, 1988, you need a Florida Boating Safety Education ID Card or a temporary certificate to legally drive a boat with 10 horsepower or more. Most companies that rent pontoons in Destin can give qualified renters temporary licenses after they take a short safety course. Before you leave, the rental company will go over all the rules for navigation and safety in detail.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wgl-accordion_panel\"><h4 id=\"wgl-accordion_header-2142\" class=\"wgl-accordion_header\" data-default=\"\"><span class=\"wgl-accordion_title\">How much does it cost to rent a pontoon boat in Destin?<\/span><i class=\"wgl-accordion_icon elementor-icon flaticon flaticon-play\"><\/i><\/h4><div class=\"wgl-accordion_content\"><p>Depending on the size, capacity, and features of the boat, renting a pontoon in Destin usually costs between $300 and $600 for half a day and $500 and $900 for a full day. Pontoons that can hold 10 to 12 people and have extra features like better sound systems and more shade structures cost more. A lot of rental companies will give you a discount if you rent for more than one day or during the off-peak season. Most of the time, the rental price doesn't include gas, so plan on spending an extra $50 to $100 on gas, depending on how far you go.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wgl-accordion_panel\"><h4 id=\"wgl-accordion_header-2143\" class=\"wgl-accordion_header\" data-default=\"\"><span class=\"wgl-accordion_title\">What is the best time of year for Destin pontoon rentals?\n<\/span><i class=\"wgl-accordion_icon elementor-icon flaticon flaticon-play\"><\/i><\/h4><div class=\"wgl-accordion_content\"><p>When is the best time to rent a pontoon boat near Destin? It depends on what you want. From May to August, the water is warmest and the days are longest. However, these months also have the most people and the highest prices. Spring and fall are great times to visit because the weather is nice, there aren't as many tourists, and rental prices are often lower. Many people who live here think that late April to early June is the best time to visit because the weather is beautiful and not too hot, and popular places like Crab Island are busy but not too crowded. People who like cooler weather and calm water can still have fun in the winter.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wgl-accordion_panel\"><h4 id=\"wgl-accordion_header-2144\" class=\"wgl-accordion_header\" data-default=\"\"><span class=\"wgl-accordion_title\">Can we take a pontoon rental to Crab Island?\n<\/span><i class=\"wgl-accordion_icon elementor-icon flaticon flaticon-play\"><\/i><\/h4><div class=\"wgl-accordion_content\"><p>Yes, Crab Island is a very popular place to rent a pontoon in Destin, and the only way to get there is by boat. Crab Island is a submerged sandbar in the Choctawhatchee Bay, just north of the Destin Bridge. The water is shallow enough to anchor and wade there. During the busiest times of the year, there are floating vendors selling food, drinks, and inflatable toys, and hundreds of boats are anchored in the clear, shallow water. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get to Crab Island from most marinas. Rental companies will give you specific directions on how to get to this popular spot and how to anchor safely.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wgl-accordion_panel\"><h4 id=\"wgl-accordion_header-2145\" class=\"wgl-accordion_header\" data-default=\"\"><span class=\"wgl-accordion_title\">What should we bring on our pontoon rental?\n<\/span><i class=\"wgl-accordion_icon elementor-icon flaticon flaticon-play\"><\/i><\/h4><div class=\"wgl-accordion_content\"><p>When getting ready for your Destin pontoon trip, don't forget to bring sunscreen (reef-safe formulas protect marine life), towels, swimsuits, sunglasses, hats, and dry bags for your phones and other valuables. If you're going to be in Florida for a long time, bring a lot of water to drink and snacks or a cooler with lunch. A lot of people also bring portable speakers, snorkel gear, and floating toys. Most rental pontoons have Bimini tops to keep the sun off, but you might want to bring an extra beach umbrella to keep the sun off even more. Don't forget to bring waterproof phone cases so you can take pictures without worrying about damaging your devices.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wgl-accordion_panel\"><h4 id=\"wgl-accordion_header-2146\" class=\"wgl-accordion_header\" data-default=\"\"><span class=\"wgl-accordion_title\">Are pontoon boats safe for families with young children?\n<\/span><i class=\"wgl-accordion_icon elementor-icon flaticon flaticon-play\"><\/i><\/h4><div class=\"wgl-accordion_content\"><p>Many people think that pontoon boats are one of the safest types of boats for families with kids. The wide, stable platform design keeps it from rocking and gives kids plenty of room to move around safely. Railings around the edge help keep people safe, and the boats' low sides make it easy to get on and off. Destin pontoon rental companies provide Coast Guard-approved life jackets for kids of all ages, including infants and toddlers. Florida law says that kids under six must wear life jackets at all times while the boat is moving. Families can enjoy the calm waters of Choctawhatchee Bay, and many parents say that their kids' best vacation memories come from spending time on pontoon boats.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4f13bd elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f4f13bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"138\" height=\"74\" src=\"https:\/\/originalcrabisland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/object_01.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-980\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f8d234 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4f8d234\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55411b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"55411b8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8232254 aleft elementor-widget elementor-widget-wgl-double-headings\" data-id=\"8232254\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wgl-double-headings.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wgl-double_heading\"><div class=\"dbl__subtitle type-default\"><span class=\"svg_media\"><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 100 13.6\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 100 13.6;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M28.8,9.7L33,6.9l4.3,2.9c7.7,5.2,17.7,5.2,25.4,0L67,6.9l4.3,2.9c3.9,2.6,8.3,3.9,12.7,3.9c4.4,0,8.8-1.3,12.7-3.9l3.2-2.1C99.9,6.3,100,5,100,3.7c0-0.6,0-1.1,0-1.7l-0.6-0.9L93.5,5c-5.8,3.9-13.3,3.9-19.1,0L67,0l-7.4,5c-5.8,3.9-13.3,3.9-19.1,0L33,0l-7.4,5C19.8,8.9,12.3,8.9,6.5,5L0.7,1.1L0,2c0,0.6,0,1.1,0,1.7C0,5,0.1,6.3,0.2,7.6l3.2,2.1C11.1,14.9,21,14.9,28.8,9.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span> <\/div><h3 class=\"dbl__title-wrapper\"><span class=\"dbl__title\">Plan Your Destin Pontoon Rentals Adventure Today<\/span><\/h3><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc60152 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc60152\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Destin pontoon rentals are more than just a fun thing to do on vacation; it&#8217;s the best way to see Florida&#8217;s Emerald Coast the way it was meant to be seen.
