    The boat was great! Very nice, comfortable and safe. The little pad was fun and Joh. Stocked the cooler with plenty of ice and water. We were able to connect to the boat speakers and play our music as loud or as quiet as we wanted. Had a wonderful time!

    Captain John is a true pro and amazing with kids! As a dad of three, he connected instantly with ours, keeping them laughing and engaged all day. He knows Choctawhatchee Bay like the back of his hand and took us to hidden spots full of shells, fish, and crabs. His humor, kindness, and local knowledge made this the highlight of our Destin trip. If you want a family-friendly captain who delivers fun, adventure, and lifelong memories, book with Captain John!

    I can't say enough great things about John, AWESOME guy and great captain. He took us to an awesome spot called pirates cove and a great sandbar as well. If you are looking for a captain in this area this is absolute your guy, we couldn't have asked for a better guy!

    Captain John’s tri-toon is spotless, roomy, and rides like a dream, far smoother and more stable than a regular pontoon, even when we had fun jumping a few waves! There’s plenty of space for kids to explore safely and for adults to relax. The seating is comfortable, the layout is perfect for sightseeing or shell hunting, and everything is in pristine condition. This boat made our day exploring Choctawhatchee Bay absolutely perfect!

    Great time. John was there early and very friendly. The boat performed as it should and was very comfortable. One of our members left something in the boat and we were able to meet up with John to get it back the next day. This is my first time to rent a pontoon and I would highly recommend him

    John was so fun! He took us to watch dolphins- there were a million where we went. We saw nature at its’ finest! Looked for shells and went to crab island. He was up for anything. He even carried our bags and had so many activities on board. We will def use him again!

    Captain John catered and accommodated
    our wants and needs. There was the right amount of communication prior to our trip, that we knew where the marina was
    located and what was expected of us.

    He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. He had a very witty personality and made us all feel comfortable and completely safe. He listened to what we wanted and delivered!

    We will be booking again next year!

    Fantastic experience! Meet up and drop up was a breeze. John was so nice and very thorough at explaining the boat’s features and reviewing the safety information. The boat is very well kept and in excellent condition. It was great for our family of 7. A very enjoyable day on the water making great memories.

    Great day on the water, John was amazing, even had water, ice, cooler and extra fuel on boat for us in case we needed it. We will definitely rent with him anytime in the future when we’re in town.

    John was a phenomenal captain! He took us to see sharks, dolphins, and lots of other sea life. He also got us an amazing spot for the blue angels show! He was super kind, courteous and made sure we had a great time. We felt safe and he made sure we were comfortable and safe at all times. 10/10 experience!

    Boat was great, especially in this area there doesn't seem to be many options, but John was willing to meet us anywhere which was a huge help! Perfect boat and captain for a group visiting the area, he knew all the best spots!

    John was a fantastic host and his boat is virtually brand new. John worked with us on timing the day of the rental to allow us to wait out a band of thunderstorms before getting started. He was able to deliver the boat to a launch near us and even dropped it with a cooler full of ice. Thanks, John. We hope to rent again soon!
